"I don't want to be a full-time coach" - Venus Williams rules out a career in tennis post-retirement
Venus Williams recently expressed her opinion on coaching in the future. She openly acknowledged her fondness for spending time on tennis courts with beginners. However, the American made it clear that she does not aspire to pursue a career as a full-time tennis coach.
With seven Grand Slam singles titles and 14 women's doubles Majors to her name, Williams is undoubtedly a legend of the game who commands awe from both players and fans. However, it appears that no young player will have the privilege of having Venus Williams as their full-time coach.
During a Q&A session on her YouTube channel, the former World No. 1 stated that she would not commit to a full-time coaching position since she has dedicated the majority of her life to the sport and has a desire to venture into other aspects of life. However, she did express an interest in providing guidance to aspiring young players.
“Yes. I do not want to be a full-time tennis coach because I’ve spent so much time on tennis and it’s really important to explore other things in life. But I would love to give advice to anyone who wants it and spend some time on the court with young people. And I actually love spending time on the court with beginners,” Williams said.
