Venus Williams recently released her book, ‘Strive: 8 Steps To Find Your Awesome’. This is her second book release after ‘Come to Win’, which was launched in 2010. Speaking about the new launch, Venus recently penned down a heartfelt note for all of her fans on Instagram. She wrote, “I’m so excited to finally share that my new book, STRIVE, is here! It’s been such a journey putting all my experiences and lessons into words, both from life and from the tennis court.” Now, her younger sister, Serena Williams, has also come up with a social media post wishing her sister success on the launch of the new wellness book.
Serena Williams shared a picture of her elder sister holding the book in her hand. She captioned that IG post with, “@venuswilliams book is OUT NOW! Anywhere books are sold. It’s a MUST READ! Xx.” Venus later commented on that same post with “Love you!” and she even put up an Instagram Story sharing Serena’s post with a similar caption.
Speaking about this book, it mainly outlines some of the disciples that helped her win 7 Grand Slam titles. She has built a roadmap to have better physical, mental, and emotional health. Venus Williams said with this book she wants to help people have fun being healthy and also highlights the importance of staying mentally strong in not just sports but also in life. She gives her readers a sneak peek at how sports teach us to cope with everything that we may face in our lives.

During an interview with ‘npr‘, the host Michel Martin asked her how this book fit into her many other interests. In reply to this Venus Williams said, “This book is really kind of the story of my life. You know, a lot of people would write a biography, and I would write a book about health and wellness. And also, the story of my life as an athlete and kind of the lessons I’ve learned, but in the lens of wellness, too.” She further added, “And in this book, too, I don’t just share, like, all the positive things. I share the mistakes that I’ve made, too – like, what I learned from, not to do again. I call it, I did this. I made this mistake so you don’t have to (laughter).“
This book has created a lot of interest already from the fans. Even Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, and her former coach, Rennae Stubbs, were spotted congratulating Venus on this book launch.

In 2023, when it was announced that Serena Williams would soon release her docuseries, ‘In The Arena: Serena Williams’, Venus was among the first to express her excitement for the same. She was even seen re-sharing the docuseries trailer with the caption, “I would just like to say I wanted her to win. (Unless we played guilty).” Both of these sisters have always supported each other in their needs. They have encouraged each other to take challenges in life and now there are two persons who are also found showcasing the same support to Venus Williams’ new book.
In the same post of Serena Williams, we saw a comment from Rennae Stubbs. She wrote, “Congrats Vee.” Even in her X handle, Serena Williams shared a similar post captioning, “RUN don’t walk to get your copy. OUT TODAY.” Later on, Alexis Ohanian shared that post on his own X handle with the caption, “LFG SIS.“
He even uploaded a video on his IG Story when he was heard saying, “A huge shout-out to my amazing sis Venus Williams. Her new book is out. I just got my copy, that’s right, I bought my own. I will get it autographed by her though.” This excitement reveals that this is more than just a book for the family. Venus Williams has time and again revealed how much it means to her to have her sister beside her through all thicks and thins. Now, these heartfelt gestures might have just filled her heart with more love and pride. Have you got the chance to read this book yet?
