Russian tennis beauty Maria Sharapova, who recently signed a long-term deal with a tech wellness firm, Therabody Investing, learnt the nuances of business as a young athlete. The former World No. 1, who has endorsed brands like Nike, Evian, and Porsche during her playing days, will also be an
advisory board member and consultant to the firm.

"I remember sitting in some of those meetings when I was just a teenager, not really understanding what was being discussed, but knowing that it was such a unique opportunity to be learning from some of the top executives in their field," Maria was quoted as saying by Forbes magazine.
