Book Description: From the former President and CEO of the United States Tennis Associationâ€•the first black woman and youngest person ever to hold the positionâ€•comes a behind-the-scenes look at the leadership skills involved in hosting the U.S. Open, the largest and most lucrative sports event in the worldâ€•lessons that can be applied across business and to any life challenge.One of professional tennisâ€™s Grand Slam Tournaments, the U.S. Open has been described as a fourteen-day Superbowl. This single tennis championship, held annually in New York City, attracts top professionals from around the globe, generates more money than any other sporting eventâ€•or any other sport over an entire seasonâ€•and attracts more than 700,000 attendees and millions of television viewers.Â In Own the Arena, Katrina Adams offers a privileged, singular inside look at this sensational global event, while elaborating on what makes tennis the only sport of a lifetime. She opens with the womenâ€™s 2018 championship match between Naomi Osaka and Serena Williams that ended in boos. This was Adamsâ€™s last year as president and the whole world was watching. How would she respond? How should the press be handled? What needs to be said to Osaka? Serena? What does this break from decorum mean for the Open and the sport?As Adams shares a wealth of stories from her career and personal life, as well as insights from top tennis professionals, she provides invaluable information on meeting lifeâ€™s tests both on the tennis court and off. Own the Arena offers fresh perspectives on having presence, being remembered, directing a conversation, and moving boldly in spaces where â€œyou are the only one.â€ It also covers good sportsmanshipâ€•treating others with respect and by being inclusive and open to diverse perspectives. Tennis is said to be 90 percent mental; this book shows how to take the elements of mental fortitude and use them to achieve greatness. By embracing and expressing oneâ€™s inner grace and humanity, Adams shows, you can own the arena.
