USA. Maria Sharapova announced her retirement from professional tennis in February 2020, at age 32 and now dedicates her life to the business world.
Winner of five Grand Slam and having reached number 1 in the WTA ranking, the last tennis ‘diva’ was a magnet for signatures, but those two worlds ceased to coexist in the life of the Russian athlete.
In an interview with Inc, which plays Marca, he revealed why he decided to retire from tennis. “It is a question that I asked myself several times in the last months before announcing my retirement. You have to look inside yourself and see what you feel, what your body tells you and also what your mind says.”
In that sense, Sharapova added: “I realized that I kept showing myself, but not as a tennis player and that I had lost sight of the competition. It was a difficult process to manage but, together with my team, I realized that it was necessary to continue with it. For many years I have focused only on sports and have given everything to get results. “
Away from the racket, Sharapova is dedicated to making investments in those companies in which she believes and has even taken control of the candy company called Sugarpova, which she co-founded in 2012.
“Before I didn’t really pay attention to detail, the approach you have to create is you start your own business,” he said at Inc.
Sharapova recently invested in one of the celebrity’s favorite wellness brands, Therabody, which for example has a popular portable massage device called Theragun. He also invested $ 900,000 with Mark Cuban (owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks) in Bala Bangles, who owns popular weighted wristbands and anklets.
