Synopsis

An inspiring and innovative guide towards living your best life--made easy--from Venus Williams, one of the greatest tennis players of all time.Throughout Venus Williams' incredible career in tennis, she's been asked almost every question imaginable. What she eats, how she trains, what she does to unwind, and most frequently, how does she manage to do it all?Venus harnessed a rich blend of hard-won wisdom and core discipline to achieve her goals while keeping a simple promise to herself: to keep things fun. But after being diagnosed with an incurable autoimmune disorder that affected her emotional and physical wellness, Venus's vow was put to the test. She came up with the STRIVE strategy--a winning combination of holistic and scientific approaches to wellness and performance that focuses on making self-improvements reachable and sustainable.In STRIVE, readers will learn how eight tiny but essential tenets can help turn smart choices into habits. And once that happens, you’ll forge a lifestyle you return to because you want to, not because you have to—and that’s when you start winning.Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
