Y’all Weekly’s Soccer Sheet sat down with none other than Carolina Ascent co-owner and tennis legend Martina Navratilova last year for an exclusive interview we haven’t published … until now.
In town for an event touting the partnership between Charlotte’s professional women’s soccer team and the non-profit Dress for Success, Navratilova shared how she came into sports ownership and what she’s bringing to the table as a former tennis superstar and prominent social activist.
She also tells us about driving around Charlotte as a teenager in the 70s, how soccer was the first sport she played (as well as the cause of her first sports injury), and even gives us a glimpse into her rivalry and friendship with the great Chrissy Evert.
