Serena Williams Asked Her Dad to Coach Daughter Olympia Because She's 'Too Nice': 'Don't Want to Over-Push'

Serena Williams says she's been having a "hard time" giving her two daughters the same "extra motivation" that her dad gave to her and her sister Venus in a new interview with 'The New York Times.'

Williams is mom to daughters Olympia, 6½, and Adira, 9 months, whom she shares with husband Alexis Ohanian. The 8-month-old is so tiny, but Olympia is such a bright light, and she's so athletic, to the point where it's just not even humanly possible," Williams continues. “I told her the other day that she actually was in my belly when I won a big tournament, and she was surprised,” the 23-time Grand Slam champion said.
