Venus Williams is not only a tennis legend but also an entrepreneur, philanthropist and dog mom. With a packed schedule and diverse responsibilities, the tennis icon shares a glimpse into what a typical day looks like for her.
Read on to hear how she stays busy 24/7 and find out how you could meet Venus Williams by entering the Blue Diamond sweeps!
6:00 a.m. Tennis Time
Though Williams admits that she’s not exactly a morning person, she makes the effort to hit the court early to avoid the harsh midday sun. “I’m kind of miserable at first, but once I get started, it’s fine, and it’s nice to finish early,” she shares. Still, her days are never exactly the same. Sometimes, rather than her usual tennis routine, she might skip the practice and instead get her exercise by running to the airport!
8:00 a.m. Quality Time with Harry
After her morning workout, Williams’s top priority is her dog, Harry. “I don’t eat breakfast often, but [Harry] has to have it,” she says. Her pup’s favorite meal? Chicken. “To remind me, he does the breakfast dance,” she laughs.
12:00 p.m. Intermittent Fasting … Then Lunch
For Williams lunch is the most important meal of the day. She follows an intermittent fasting routine, skipping breakfast and enjoying her first meal around noon. Her go-to options? “Fruits, smoothies or protein shakes,” she says.
2:00 p.m. Snack Time!
When midafternoon hunger strikes, Williams reaches for a mindful snack with protein: Blue Diamond toasted almonds and cherries. “I love the almond and cherry ratio. There are a lot of cherries, so you get the crunch and the sweet,” she says.
2:55 p.m. Content Creation
Even on a bad hair day, Williams enjoys sharing parts of her life with her followers. “It’s fun to share both the positive and negative moments of my day,” she says. Though she loves connecting with her audience, Williams also values being present in the moment. “I try to stay off my phone during certain periods of the day to focus on what’s happening in life,” she shares.
4:00 p.m. Catching Up
With tennis, travel and business meetings on her plate, balancing it all can be tricky. One of Williams’ life goals is to find better balance. “When I figure it out, I’ll let you know,” she laughs. To unwind, she listens to podcasts about health and wellness — but she’s not above indulging in a little gossip, too.
6:00 p.m. Dinner
Dinner for Williams is all about simplicity. “I eat dinner pretty early, like, six or seven,” she says. “No late dinners unless I’m going out with friends.” Her go-to meals are often fruits, vegetables or eggs. Sometimes, she admits, “I’m super lazy, but I still cook.” It’s about getting something nutritious on the table without too much fuss.
8:00 p.m. Sweet Treat
While Williams generally avoids sugar, she does indulge in lighter treats. “It’s not good for anyone, and it’s not good for me,” she says. Instead of sugary snacks, she enjoys things like smoothies, orange juice or dried fruits — “apple sauce and things like that,” she adds.
9:00 p.m. Wind Down
Williams’ nighttime ritual is all about comfort. “I love to watch the same things over and over again,” she says, laughing. She’ll rewatch a series for a year straight. “It’s strange, but at least two other people in my family do it too,” she says. “It’s calming and comforting. I watch while I’m getting other things done — and I’m always looking for a new series.”
