Alexis Ohanian, husband of Serena Williams, posted a photo of his daughter Olympia’s first football training session, comparing himself to a photo from the day Alexis started his football journey.
“Today was the first day of football training for Olympia Ohanian. A few decades later for me. playing for Angel City FC was his destiny,” Alexis Ohanian captioned the photo.
Olympia Ohanian is the youngest owner of a women’s football club. Because of this, Olympia often attends games for Angel City FC, the club she owns. While appearing on Ellen DeGeneres’ show, Serena Williams was asked about her daughter’s tennis skills.
She hinted that her daughter was not bad at tennis, but admitted that four-year-olds could beat her. “Are you asking as a mum or as an athlete? I don’t know if I can be objective, because I look at her, and I’m like ‘oh, that’s okay and okay as a mum’
My husband is going to post a video of her hitting a backhand, and I’m like ‘that was a good shot, but it’s not a consistent backhand, that’s what the athlete says,'” Williams said in the Ellen DeGeneres show, quoted by Sportskeeda.
Serena Williams won’t force Olympia to play tennis
“If she wants to play tennis, you have to really want it you know? But I’m not going to push her, which is what makes my dad so amazing because I couldn’t have done [ce qu’il a fait pour moi].
So yes, she plays well, but I’ve seen four-year-olds who could beat her. So we have to take her to practice if she wants to play tennis,” she added. During the interview, Williams revealed that she doesn’t have the patience to teach tennis.
“It’s such a funny story. I don’t have the patience to teach tennis, I don’t really like playing with people who can’t play tennis well,” Williams said. “So I signed her up for a private lesson”
