On this week’s episode of the Most Powerful Women in Sports podcast, Adweek’s former chief content officer Lisa Granatstein sits down with Katrina Adams, former president and chief executive of the U.S. Tennis Association. Adams is also the author of Own the Arena: Getting Ahead, Making a Difference, and Succeeding as the Only One—it’s both a memoir and a career playbook.
Adams was one of only a few Black women on the pro circuit, one of several top Black coaches, the first Black commentator on the Tennis Channel, and the only Black woman and youngest person to hold the post of USTA CEO.
During the conversation, Adams discusses her incredible tennis career on and off the court, the role of mental health in sports, and what it’s like to host and report on the U.S. Open.
