Serena Williams recently announced that she will no longer play professional tennis, but that doesn't mean she will stop engaging in other sorts of physical activity.

In fact, in a recent Instagram video, she appears to be trying out soccer as a new activity.

In her post, she recalled the incident and stated, "True Story: I went to Olympia's first soccer practise. She was so afraid that she wouldn't leave my side.

As a result, they required volunteers to serve as assistant coaches. Now that I'm an assistant coach, it's obvious I wasn't ready (when I can).
