After retiring in 2020, she has also become a mother, an investor, and podcast host. In this episode, Adam talks with Maria about resilience, motivation, and the evolution of her rivalry with Serena Williams. Maria reflects on the moments in her career that forced her to take a step back and rethink her mindset, from hard losses and wisdom from coaches to relationships with her peers and opponents. Adam offers insight on two different kinds of winning in psychology, and why sports aren’t really as zero-sum as they seem.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Featured guest</strong></p><ul><li>Follow Maria Sharapova on <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/mariasharapova/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a>, <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@mariasharapova?app=desktop&amp;fbclid=PAcGRvZgJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA85MzY2MTk3NDMzOTI0NTkAAacjWgoo7p7brZMJBj9Rsz4zyeOnuqotMmGXbMOHAPMcfwEuJSNmcMhnRq21fg_aem_RyMTEftxSe9ugFSsuTWwKQ\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube</a>, and <a href=\"https://x.com/mariasharapova\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">X</a></li><li>Subscribe to Maria's Substack <a href=\"https://substack.com/@mariasharapova\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Pretty Tough</a></li><li>Buy her book <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Unstoppable-My-Life-So-Far/dp/0374279799\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Unstoppable: My Life So Far</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with the team</strong></p><ul><li>Follow Adam on <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/adamgrant/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a>, <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/adammgrant\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn</a>, and at <a href=\"https://adamgrant.net/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">adamgrant.net/</a></li><li>Subscribe to Adam’s Substack <a href=\"https://adamgrant.substack.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Granted</a></li><li>Watch ReThinking videos on YouTube at <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@TEDPods\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">TEDPods</a></li><li>Follow TED on <a href=\"https://x.com/TEDTalks\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">X</a>, <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/ted\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a>, <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/TED\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook</a>, <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/company/ted-conferences/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn</a>, and <a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@tedtoks\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">TikTok</a></li></ul><p><br></p>","author_name":"TED"}
