With "Come to Win", Venus Williams, the multiple Grand Slam tennis
champion and entrepreneur, along with an esteemed group of business
leaders, politicians, and acclaimed artists, serves up a book of
wisdom that shows how to turn a competitive spirit and athletic
background into success off the playing field. Combining talent,
drive, and hard work, Venus Williams has mastered the game of
tennis. How will that drive serve her off the court in her
post-tennis career? For inspiration, Venus turned to nearly fifty
business leaders, politicians, doctors, and artists, all of whom
previously played competitive sports and who are now at the top of
their professions, and asked them the essential questions: What
principles that inspired you toward success as an athlete are
helpful in life? In business? Here an A-list group of visionaries,
including eBay's former CEO Meg Whitman, Nike's co-founder Philip
Knight, stateswoman Condoleezza Rice, entrepreneur and former NBA
player Earvin Magic Johnson, and designer Vera Wang, respond with a
useful array of tips woven through anecdotes from their athletic
past that have been instrumental in their post-sports life success.
Whether it's visualizing a course of action before it happens,
turning losses into learning tools, figuring out who best plays
what position in a team environment, or remembering that there is
no substitute for preparation, the advice in "Come to Win" is
knowledge every manager and aspiring professional will want to
read. It's also an indispensable tool for parents and coaches
looking to build confidence and discipline in their children. Venus
also reflects on what she has learned from her own coaches,
including her father and mother, and how their wisdom contributes
to her own remarkable achievements, from her history-making tennis
career to the launch of her own businesses-V-Starr Interiors, an
interior design firm, and EleVen, an athletic clothing line.
