Serena Williams‘ husband, Alexis Ohanian, is working towards creating a secure future for his daughters. Apart from creating a name in the business world for himself, he also uses his knowledge so that his children can take inspiration from around them. A few years ago, Ohanian was dwelling on the same thought and found a way to actualize his dream. This came in the form of a women’s soccer team.
Four years down the lane, the 40-year-old recently shared a little throwback from the past. It started when he thought of his 6-year-old daughter’s future, and that too in the pro-sport world. Let’s take a look at that moment that literally changed a lot of things for the doting father.
Serena Williams’ husband shares a little soccer throwback
Have you ever heard the back story regarding how Ohanian decided to invest in the women’s soccer team with his family? Recently, the 23-time Grand Slam champion’s husband took to his Instagram account to share a video of his daughter running around the house while the whole family was enjoying the USWNT match. Well, it was the same time when the Reddit co-founder shared his wish to see his daughter get into soccer one day.
He wrote, “@Olympiaohanian back in 2019 watching @uswnt final! Can’t believe how much my little girl has grown since.” Along with that, he also got a little nostalgic regarding how things have changed in the past 4 years, for two reasons.
Firstly, he remarked about the trajectory of growth of his six-year-old daughter. Secondly, he looked at it from a professional standpoint, looking into the Angel City soccer team’s perspective. Nevertheless, back in 2020, the Reddit co-founder and his whole family invested in the Angel City soccer team. He initiated this endeavor partly because he wanted his daughter to enter the pro-sport arena as an investor.
Since making an investment in the $100 million soccer team, the Reddit co-founder has continuously worked on a vision. He aims to launch women’s sporting teams to the top.
When Ohanian revealed the story behind the investment
A few months back the American internet entrepreneur was featured in an interview with ‘On Her Turf. ‘ He talked about the moment he saw his daughter cheer for the USWNT during the FIFA World Cup. Looking into the way her daughter was running around the house the Reddit co-founder conferred with his wife regarding how the daughter also could be a part of the US women’s soccer team.
To which the 41-year-old American entrepreneur replied, saying that not until Olympia is worth it. One way or another Ohanian has started his mission to create a secure environment and position for his daughter’s future in the soccer world.
