    The Williams family had a plan, not a dream. And every single family member bought in and WORKED HARD to implement that plan. That’s the story I took away from this absolutely remarkable film.

      @chocolateradiance7216 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Same...for me it's because me and Venus and Serena are a couple years apart. 79, 80, 81 so I understand the environment and the times they grew up in. I was watching them play as teens and I was very enamored by them especially their parents because I didn't have a mother and father like that. Their main focus was their kid's regardless of what their own struggles were..that's kinda unheard of especially in the black community and the way the daddy vetted them and believed in them. The 80's and 90's was the crack epidemic and also a lot of single black mama's left to fend for themselves so it amazes me through a time like that this mother and father kept their eyes on the prize and kept pushing. So many parents then was depressed, down and out or on drugs. It was a dark time for alot of black communities but despite it all they persevered

Richard Williams was a Great Man from The Time I 1st Seen Him years & YEARS Ago!!! I've ALWAYS Rooted & Cheered for The Williams Family & Was Very VERY Happy To See The Two BLACK QUEENS 👸👸 Dominant Tennis 🎾🎾 In The Climate years that they started in.... Even Back THEN I Thought Mr. Williams was a GENIUSES of a man & a hell of a GOOD Father!!!
    🤴 King-Richard Spoke The TRUTH about The Racism in Tennis, The Media Portrayal of HIM & his BEAUTIFUL Daughters!!! It was horrendous to me what all Mr. Richard Williams endured as a GOOD-MAN, as a Caring-Father, & as a Professional.... I Remember that It was OUTRAGEOUS to say the least 😠😡🤬.... I can remember how the Reports made fun of him & his daughters & saying all kind of hideous things.... I Even Remember how Venus & Serena wasn't getting their proper endorsements nor The DEALS that they should have been getting in the beginning!!! Because they were BLACK GIRLS.... I remember how they used to make fun of their hair & say all kind of ungodly crap!!! It made me so upset 🤬😡😠😡🤬 These were children at that particular time! But to me they were BEAUTIFUL they were TALENTED they were Well-Behaved, Well-Dressed & it just still didn't matter to the haters in the Media industry! That WASN'T RIGHT....
    I remember Sir King Richard Williams fight for His Children Wife Family & Equality the whole step of the way!!! In My Eyes 👀 They're BLACK Excellence Royalty & Power from the 1st Time they stepped on the seen!!! I've ALWAYS LOVED what I've seen of the family throughout the years!!! I'm So Happy For Them ALL...!!!❣️❣️❣️
    I've ALWAYS Wanted To Personally interact with the whole Beautiful Williams Family 🤴👸👸👸👸👸👸🤴 ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
    Thank You'll For Showcasing 🤴 KING-RICHARD Williams within HIS Great Movements Throughout The Earlier Days of Showcasing HIS Greatest Accomplishments Throughout ❣️

When she walked across the street to that woman's house and knocked on the door. When she worked with Serena, and then when she told Richard what was up when it came to Venus wanting to play. You have to give her the props on this film. She was the best performance!

    This is an incredible interview. Venus and Serena are the greatest. I have so much
    respect for Mr. Richard Williams. I bought the DVD "Raising Tennis Aces" years ago.
    Mr. Williams has been one of my favorite people ever since. It was interesting that
    Will Smith talked about the time Mr. Williams checked the reporter, when he was interviewing Venus.
    That interview was also one of the things that made me admire him even more. Can't wait to see the movie.

    I listened to Richard in an interview conducted back when He released His book. And listening to Him was impressive. His life lessons came from His Mother. He would speak about Her wisdom and Her lessons to Him for preparedness. All I thought was, 'how awesome is that Woman who taught Her son to weather the storms of People and Oppression!' Then I see how He prepared His Children for battle, but on the Courts of Sport and Success! And I listened to Richard know that He just had to not give in to the naysayers. But instead to Hold Fast and keep His Family Protected and Close. So close that Family Members ARE the Best Friends! It TRULY TRULY is about Integrity. And seeing that Family ride the waves after Success came, before this movie, makes me feel both Honored and Excited to see it. I'm glad that this cast has won the approval of these two World Class WomenLeader Athletes.

    The film and cast grabbed my heart so much that I wanted to watch it again. The film took me back to joy and excitement that was felt in America among black and African American families, when the Williams sisters were the highlight of the headlines and social media. It captured Venus’ and Serena’ confidence and passion. But one of the greatest messages in the film, I believe we can all take is to have a vision for self and family, plan and write it out, work together as a family, commit and stay focus while remaining humble especially in every victory. Also, don’t get so caught up on winning that you forget to live. ❤️💐❤️👏🏾❤️⭐️

    They really paid close attention to details. Even down to the grip and basic strokes that Venus and Serena use. The two handed backhand they got it correct. Both Venus and Serena use a right hand western beforehand grip. not many players have this backhand. Michael Chang and Marcelo Rios both used this stroke but not many do. They also paid attention to the service grip not being a continental grip or even slightly eastern as almost all pro players use. Both Venus and Serena use a slightly west of Continental. Venus starts her service motions with the wrist slightly broke because she gets her power from her wrist at the top. If she wants to kick the serve then she tosses slightly towards her left side and comes across the ball inside our and up as she snaps her wrist into her serve. This also is rare feature and the actor players and film makers got that exactly correct!!! Like right on the money. I remember coaching a girl back in 1990 or 91. She was paying a USTA even in LA and I remember seeing little Venus there playing on one of the courts. I remember she used a Wilson profile racket. I was using the same racket so that is why I noticed, however, the film crew made sure Venus was using a Wilson profile early on. then the scene with Vic Braden. My pop back in 1975 when I was 9 years old was a member of coto de caza club which is where Vic Braden was the teaching pro back then. Anyway film was fantastic and attention to detail was obvious. I've always had a crush on Venus. Her personality is so calm. She so smart and smiles easily not to mention she is so pretty. Hit me up Venus.

    I remember when the late great tennis player Arthur Ashe was speaking about two girls two sisters along with John McEnroe it was the last show of the tennis season . Arthur and John was talking about these two sisters all through the Tennis season on their show . I can remember the last thing that Arthur Ashe said about these two sisters . ( They Coming ) and the Look the expression after he said was on John McEnroe Face like he was agreeing to everything that Arthur was saying what they both have witness . Why was I was in the grocery line looking at the magazine and I happened to see the front cover of Jet and Ebony magazine. They were doing a interview on the Williams Sister's ! Ash and John never said they were two African-American girls never did say it when they were talking about them throughout the tennis season on their show ! Once the two magazine did an interview then you seen other magazine including the tennis magazine there were also in circulation that I was getting through the mail didn't even mention about the Williams Sister's and they were also getting interview on 60 minutes everybody back in the day always look at 60 minutes on television to get any information about on everything what's going on in the world ! Then the word spread it out on them including that tennis magazine that I was getting . Everyone wanted to interview them. I know my comment is too long but I'm getting ready to put a stop to it. A few months it was announced that Arthur Ashe had passed away .Now you see why John McEnroe and the Williams sisters are close he always interviewing just recently in a commercial with Serena. And doing everything else when it comes to them . and when he would been commentating on their game when they were playing John didn't hold back if you were doing right or if you were doing wrong when you are playing the game of tennis that was his profession he didn't care if it was a man or a woman he always going to be truthful how you playing that game and what you doing wrong about playing in the game ! Venus Started it ! Serena's going to finish it ! Mom and Dad you both did good by your daughters ! You brought them into a profession which is considered a
    " White "sport which is tennis. You both already had their vision what they were going to be and what they were going to accomplish in this sport ! Job Well Done 👍 Arthur seen the same vision too !!! Two Of The Greatest Women 🎾🔥 🎾 Player's Who Shift The Game of women tennis to where it is being played as of Now ! Power Hitters they didn't adapt to their opponents ! Their opponents had to adapt to them ! The Williams Sister's 🎾🔥
