Venus Williams shared details about her new book, 'Strive'
Venus Williams recently sat in a conversation with People magazine, where she opened up about her motto behind publishing the book, 'Strive.' She revealed that with this book, she wished to share the intricacies of her journey that helped her grow in her "own wellness and nutrition journey."
"As an athlete, I know the perseverance and consistency it takes to accomplish your goals and get true results," said Venus Williams. "With STRIVE, my goal is to share the tips and tricks that helped me in my own personal wellness and nutrition journey.”
She added:
"These are the tools that kept me from burning out on a lifestyle that I wanted and believed in, a lifestyle that helped me feel confident, powerful and capable.”
