February 23, 2023<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tennis star Venus Williams joined thousands of RBC employees from across the globe for an inspiring and unforgettable Black History Month event. In conversation with RBC Capital Markets Managing Director and Global Head of Commodity Strategy Helima Croft, Williams shared stories of her career path, her family, her failures and her proudest moments on and off the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The challenges of being first<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Venus Williams is a trailblazer in many ways. While Althea Gibson, Arthur Ashe and Zina Garrison paved the way for Black athletes in the sport of tennis, when Venus came on the stage in the 1990s, she was the most prominent, high-profile African American female tennis player of her time. Growing up in a space that often didn\u2019t have much visible minority representation, she was in many ways \u201cthe first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are significant challenges and burdens that come with this role, and Williams shares that accepting them began with knowing her history. \u201cThat\u2019s why it\u2019s so important that we have Black History Month,\u201d she says. \u201cBecause when you don\u2019t understand who you are, you don\u2019t know where you\u2019re going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She further explains that after understanding comes acceptance and pride. \u201cThe moment of accepting yourself, feeling proud of who you are, knowing your history and coming with your absolute best, helps to conquer the challenges we face. It\u2019s all about self-love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy experience in tennis was about being the best, no matter who I was or what colour I was. No matter what critics said or did, they couldn\u2019t take that way from me or Serena. And we were good enough. We always had our racquets do the talking \u2013 and there was no more talking once those winners were in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Venus and her sister were certainly good enough, as the eldest Williams sister made history by becoming the first Black tennis player to be ranked Number One in the world during the open era. While being at the top is a lot to shoulder, Williams took it in stride. \u201cThe best part about it is that it opened so many doors \u2013 obviously for Serena and Naomi Osaka and I would love to think that Coco Gauff is on her way to being number one as well. But also being number one is fine \u2013 I\u2019m not going to minimize it. It was one of my life goals and when you meet your goals in life, no matter how grand or how small, it\u2019s a good feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pressure as a privilege<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Being at the top comes with its share of pressure, but Venus\u2019 parents helped put that pressure into perspective. \u201cThey said have fun when you play, because it should be fun. You should be able to love what you do. That takes some of the pressure off.\u201d She goes on to share that one of the hardest things to do in tennis is to serve for a match, explaining that the server should theoretically always win the game, but when you\u2019re serving to win the match, the pressure is intense. \u201cYou have to start training your mind differently,\u201d she says. \u201cInstead of dreading that moment, say to yourself \u2018I can\u2019t wait for this opportunity.\u2019 Over time, your mind starts to think that way. So it\u2019s about perception and seeing that pressure as an opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She further explains that the way you think is the most powerful tool available. \u201cSometimes, your mind is all you have, especially in those moments when you\u2019re sick or injured and your morale is low,\u201d she says, crediting her parents for her mental toughness. \u201cIt was really my mom and especially my dad who changed tennis. My dad always told us we would be number one and number two in the world \u2013 that\u2019s how we were taught and that\u2019s how we learned to think.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning from failure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Venus admits she wasn\u2019t always at the top of her game, sharing an early-career failure during the 1999 U.S. Open. She was 19 and her sister was 17 and they were both in the semi-finals. \u201cThere was an opportunity for an all-Williams final,\u201d she says. \u201cObviously there was a lot of hype around that.\u201d She recalls her match, revealing she didn\u2019t have enough courage to step up to the moment. \u201cI was so nervous. I held myself back and played it safe. And Serena went on to win her match and won the U.S. Open, the first sister to win a Grand Slam.\u201d Venus explains she learned a great deal from that instance \u2013 about herself and what she didn\u2019t want to do going forward. \u201cThe last thing I wanted was to hold myself back. Even if I lost, I wanted to be able to look back without regret \u2013 and in that instance, I couldn\u2019t. So I told myself, no matter what it was, I would do what it took to win \u2013 and if I lost doing that, at least I could sleep at night.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That moment of failure was a big change for Venus and the catalyst for winning big tournaments. \u201cSometimes those moments of failure are the moments you need to wake up and learn. Any mistake is fine, as long as it\u2019s not the same one twice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breaking down barriers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As Venus was breaking records and achieving firsts on the court, she was also breaking down barriers that extended beyond her sport. She shares her experiences pitching her business in corporate settings, fearing she would look too ethnic or feminine if she dressed as herself. \u201cI felt I needed to wear suits to show I was serious. After a while, I thought, I\u2019m just going to be me. I\u2019m in the design industry and I don\u2019t want to wear this black suit anymore \u2013 I decided to show up as a designer and show up fully as myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In owning her femininity and individuality, Venus feels she \u2013 and anyone who does the same \u2013 has the power to bring others along and pave the way for the next person. The impact of her actions were evident even in the initial media reactions to the beads she would wear in her hair and the fashion choices she would make on the court. Eventually the media accepted her for who she was and consequently fashion in tennis has changed significantly. \u201cThere\u2019s got to be that one person who starts so people can realize, she wants to wear her hair that way, I can too. And those dominoes start to fall,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As celebrated as Venus is for her play on the court, she is recognized for how she championed equal pay for women tennis players. In fact, in 2007, for the first time since Wimbledon began awarding prize money in 1968, the women earned the same amount as the men, thanks to the fight Venus wasn\u2019t willing to give up on. \u201cThere was too much inequity for far too long,\u201d Venus says, who is happy that players today don\u2019t have to go through the fight for pay equity and thrilled to see progress in other sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Life is sport, and sport is life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked how others can gather the courage to thrive in uncomfortable situations, Venus explains her philosophy that life is sport, and sport is life. \u201cIt\u2019s all preparation, it\u2019s all commitment. It\u2019s all ups and downs and learning how to work with a team, how to win and how to lose. It\u2019s the same in life as it is in sport.\u201d She adds that learning to deal with pressure, learning how to manage emotions and react under pressure need to be learned in the boardroom as well as the tennis court. Being truthful, grateful and gracious are just as important and are values she has lived by. \u201cI wanted to be known as a great sportswoman \u2013 someone with a good attitude. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything worse than being remembered as a jerk. A lot of my career was spent making sure that every move I made was something I could be proud of later.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Venus Williams is a champion in so many ways and has shown tennis players and fans around the world that anything is possible when you have the courage to show up as yourself, take a stand for what\u2019s right and believe in your right to be number one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-default-collapsible\"><p><button class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapse834a1009\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse834a1009\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57738-834a1009\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"accordion closed\" action-closed=\"accordion closed\" action-opened=\"accordion open\" data-dig-label=\"Things our lawyers want you to know\"><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><\/button><\/p><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"collapse834a1009\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-collapsible-inner-block collapse-inner\">\n<p>This article is intended as general information only and is not to be relied upon as constituting legal, financial or other professional advice.
