Last year, while speaking to the media, Serena Williams heaped praise on Caitlin Clark. She said she loves that Clark remains "grounded" even after being a famous athlete.
Williams expressed that she admires Clark's resilience after being criticized on social media and then continuing to focus on her passion for basketball.
"I just love that she tries to stay grounded. She said she doesn't look at her social [media], I get it, I don't either. I think it's so important to just continue doing what she's doing, no matter what other people do . If people are negative, it's because they can't do what you do, basically. And hopefully she'll continue to do what she's doing," Williams said
In addition to her ownership of the NFL team the Miami Dolphins, Serena Williams is also involved in co-owning several other sports teams. One of these teams is Angel City F.C, a professional soccer team based in Los Angeles, California, that competes in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL)
Williams is also a co-owner of the Los Angeles Golf Club (LAGC) and recently acquired an ownership stake in the Toronto Tempo, Canada's first WNBA team. The Tempo will compete in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA).
