AS TOLD TO ELIZABETH BACHARACH

PHOTOGRAPHED BY MARTIN RUSCH

TENNIS

PLAYER AND

ENTREPRENEUR

Bethanie

Mattek-

Sands

MUSCLE

THROUGH

“When you’re

in a place

where you

can take risks

and chances,

I feel like

you’re really

strong in that

moment.”

CELEBRATE

SMALL WINS

“The a-ha moments

are the ones that help

propel you forward,

and they tend to be

spread out. Your jour-

ney is incremental—

and it’s a process.”

SCHEDULE SELF-

REFLECTION

“Every day I have an

hour in my cal-

endar that never

gets moved. I

meditate, I read,

I journal. This

time is key.”

“I’ve had my best

results on the court

when I’m enjoying

myself and playing

for me.”

HIGHLIGHT REEL,

Bethanie was 5 when her

father first put a tennis

racket in her hand, and

she’s been serving winners

ever since. She’s slated to

play in the first-ever

Aurora Games this

summer (auroragames

festival.com) and also

taking her colorful style

off-court, having part-

nered with Lucky in Love

for capsule fashion lines.

TRUE COLORS

GIVE YOURSELF

A BREAK

“If you said out loud

what you say to

yourself, you would

realize that you’d

never say that to

someone you love.

That ’s why it ’s so im -

of your thoughts.”

COMPETITION

“It’s what pushes

everyone to be

successful—we

don’t have to take

it so personally.

When we shift our

mentality, competi-

tion becomes a

great thing.”

The number of

major tennis

titles she holds,

including 5

women’s doubles

Grand Slams,

3 mixed doubles

Grand Slams,

and an Olympic

gold medal in

mixed doubles

AND THAT’S OKAY. WE ALL HAVE OUR
