A Global Role Model
Before becoming a mother, Anna Kournikova always had an altruistic and special place in her heart for kids. Not only is she a role model for female athletes around the world, but she’s also been an active advocate for healthy habits for the youth in general.
Being a professional athlete in her youth opened her eyes to some many different perspectives on what’s important to focus on as a child.
“I’d like to encourage kids to be active and stay in sports… Sports in schools, or in college, or in kindergarten, it can teach kids so many things. Just leadership and teamwork and achieving goals, end everything. I just think it’s really important,” Kournikova shared with Jimmy Fallon.
Supporting and Educating the Youth
Kournikova has expressed that she truly loves supporting and educating the youth to be healthier.” “It’s something that really gives me huge satisfactions. And in a way, it just like almost myself going back to childhood. Cause I was working and traveling so much when I was younger. I just really personally enjoy spending time with kids,” she shared with Jimmy Fallon.
Now that Kournikova is a mother, she also posts about her own workouts and how to stay fit, even after giving birth.
