By: Sports DeskSeptember 28, 2022 3:14:34 pm

Among the gargantuan bullet points in her resume, Serena Williams has now added another skill set, a football assistant coach. The 23-time grand slam winner, who called it quits to her singles career at the recent US Open, had her first soccer mom experience at her daughter Olympia’s practice session.

Taking to Instagram, Serena shared, “True story: I showed up to Olympia’s first soccer practice. And she was so nervous she would NOT leave my side. So they needed volunteers to be assistant coaches. So now, I am an assistant coach (when I can) and clearly I was not prepared. I just went to chill and left looking like this. At least I have a @Lincoln to get us to soccer practice! Modern day soccer mom. Maybe I’ll call up @weareangelcity.”

“I just needed to stop,” she had told Vanity Fair. “I always said I wanted to stop when I’m playing really good tennis and winning and beating good players.
