Gauff Opens Up About 'Losing Her Identity Off Court' And How She Regained It
WTA
Coco Gauff opened up a bit about her private life during a recent partnership with Meta and Ray Ban for their most recent smart glasses.
Gauff is becoming a big player in the marketing sphere as her US Open triumph made her a pretty recognizable face in the US market. She's obviously known far beyond the United States as one of the best players in the world, and in a recent commercial, the youngster talked a bit about her private life.
It's part of her person. We don't know much about it by design, but she's been a bit more forthcoming in recent months because we're people; we connect over stories, and athletes are just more likable if they open up a bit.
In the commercial, Gauff spoke about her identity off the court. We know who she is on the court - a ferocious competitor, but we don't know much about Coco Gauff off the court.
Nothing's better for my game than taking my mind off my game. When I was younger, a lot of people used to think I lived, breathed, and ate tennis. I just feel like people only see the work on court, but don't realize how much things I like to do off the court. I like to do a lot of things.
I have two younger brothers. It feels like home when I'm with them. Just hanging out with my friends, doing things that teenagers do. Sometimes I would wrap myself into tennis and kind of lose my identity off the court. Finding out why I'm off-court made me value myself as a person more than an athlete.
It's good to take a break for tennis, but she didn't take a long one. According to her social media, the American is already back to preparing for next year.
