US tennis great Serena Williams wants people to stop being afraid of failures and believes the most valuable life lessons come from losing.

Speaking during an appearance on Red Table Talk along with sister Venus, Serena, 40, said: “I’m my best player every time I lose. I think sometimes people are afraid to lose if they start winning, or they’re afraid to fail. But that doesn’t, I don’t even like the word. Like, it’s not a failure. it’s just, like, you slipped, and then you’ll get back up.”
