Serena Williams opened up about the significance of resilience as a mother and tennis player

Serena Williams recently shared a video on her Instagram handle, where she spoke about the importance of resilience as a mother and a tennis player. While doing her eye makeup, she revealed that she was asked what resilience meant to her, and she said that it has helped her both on court and off court.

"The other day I was asked about resilience and what that meant for me and how was I resilient during my career and I found that to be a very interesting question because resilience is something that you kind of just have to stand up and do," said Serena Williams.

Highlighting how it affected her tennis, she added:

"So thats one thing that I do know is when I was on the tennis court and maybe I didn't win that match, or maybe I found that someone was playing better than me [pauses] On that day of course [laughs] but that didn't mean that I couldnt go back and try harder."

Similarly, she also linked resilience with being a mother and further said:

"Resilience also shows in how you show up everyday. It doesn't have to be a professional athlete, it could be a mom, like it shows a lot of resilience and like you're strong and real to just show up everyday for yourself or for your family or whatever that is."
