I don't focus on what I'm up against. I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest. - Venus Williams

Just believe in yourself. Even if you don’t just pretend that you do and, at some point, you will.

I started [following a vegan diet] for health reasons. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and I wanted to maintain my performance on the court. Once I started I fell in love with the concept of fueling your body in the best way possible. Not only does it help me on the court, but I feel like I’m doing the right thing for me. … I literally couldn’t play tennis anymore, so it really changed my life.

Thankfully, I was able to find something that helped me get back to doing what I loved. … It changed the pace that I live at. It changed everything.
