I found this post to be very interesting, especially with the US Open going on right now:
https://www.tonyrobbins.com/career-business/serena-williams-unapologetic-greatness/
I remember watching the French Open, and thinking, "Why is Serena still pushing herself? She could retire right now and still be considered one of the great tennis players of all time, possibly the greatest."
The blog post talks about five ways that Serena has managed her brand and career, but the second way really caught my eye: "Change the rules to reflect today's reality, not yesterday's". Serena had an amazing career before she became a mother, but she is not content to rest on previous accomplishments. She is using her power as one of the game's premier players to get the seeding rules changed so that pregnancy does not cause a player to totally lose her tennis ranking. Serena is changing things to match her current reality, that of a world-class athlete returning to competition after giving birth and suffering complications (she had a blood clot after giving birth to her daughter that could have been fatal).
You go, girl!
