Good morning [%first_name |Dear Reader%],

On 12 May, Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka posted a video on her social media handles with the caption, “Hey kid, you’ve come a long way and even though there’s been some bumps on the road I hope you know you’re doing amazing.”

The video is a compilation of the various answers the 24-year-old has given to the media when asked what her goals and career aspirations are. In one of the clips, from maybe three-four years ago, she is asked what she would have been had she not become a tennis player.

Osaka went from marine biologist to physiotherapist to finally saying, “I just like sports, so maybe like an agent in the end. I don’t know.”

With Osaka, you can never say never. She might just quit tennis tomorrow and take up a marine biology course. But she has already become one of the things she mentioned she’d like to be.

Naomi Osaka: Athlete. Activist. Entrepreneur. Agent.

At just 24 years of age, Naomi Osaka’s hat is already overflowing with feathers.
