WHITFIELD: Next week we hope you'll join us because it's face to face with Venus Williams. We met this week and talked about tennis, of course, and whether she feels ready to play again. You know, she's been out on the injury list. But we also talked about not only how she's feeling on the court again, but what it's been like to be that child prodigy. She's been playing professionally for 17 years. And I asked her to reflect on whether it would be her recommendation that parents start their kids so early in tennis.</s>VENUS WILLIAMS, TENNIS PLAYER: What works with one kid won't work with another, so -- I was a tough kid and very oblivious, almost, so I could deal with a lot.</s>WHITFIELD: What do you mean you were a tough kid?</s>WILLIAMS: Nothing bothered me. You know, my dad was, you know, making us hit shots over and over and over again. It wouldn't faze me, and even if it upset me --</s>WHITFIELD: You wouldn't yell at your dad and say, enough already?</s>WILLIAMS: No, I wouldn't yell, and I got over it. Two days later, it was behind me.</s>WHITFIELD: We talked about tennis courts, her goals and what she does off the court. She's got a couple businesses on the side pretty significant. Join me on "Face to Face with Venus Williams" next weekend.
