The surprising side of Sharapova as an ‘astute businesswoman
Maria Sharapova, the former world No. 1 in women’s tennis and known as the “Fairy of the Tennis World,” is now a full-fledged “businesswoman” and is attracting a lot of attention.
This time, Sharapova’s photo was released on the official Instagram account of Therabody, a U.S. company that sells the “Theragun” training equipment. Sharapova is sitting on a bench next to a tennis court with her hair pulled back, giving her a sporty look. She is wearing a black tank top that boldly exposes her shoulders. Sharapova is holding a strange triangular device in her hand and holding it to her shoulder.
This is the “Theragun”. According to the product’s press release, it’s an “ergonomic percussive device” that “provides conditioning support with power and speed using a proprietary brushless motor. It is a trusted and beloved device among more than 250 professional sports teams, athletes and their coaches, and training facilities in 60 countries around the world. The vibrating head is supposed to be used by placing it on localized areas of the body.
In fact, Sharapova is an athlete ambassador for Therabody, and has recently contributed to the company’s campaign. Sharapova had this to say about the product: “As an athlete, I have a comprehensive perspective.
As an athlete, I understand the importance of thinking about health from a holistic perspective. You can’t get your body in tip-top shape just by training hard. Preparation and recovery are the keys to better performance.”
The look on Sharapova’s face as she uses Theragun is relaxed, and she looks somewhat comfortable.
Since her retirement, Sharapova has been traveling all over Europe and working actively as a businessperson. Sharapova is a businesswoman herself, trying to attract attention to her products by using herself as a “billboard”. I wonder what her next goal will be. I can’t take my eyes off her more and more. ……!
