Serena Williams isn’t just a world-class tennis champion, she is also a sagacious advice giver.

According to Vogue, the tennis superstar offered a healthy dose of positivity this week following an appearance at the opening of a new Nike store in SoHo on Nov. 10. In a Facebook Live chat for Vogue.com, Williams offered her best advice on how to endure adversity.

To keep herself from quitting when times get tough, Vogue says Williams told her fans to never quit.

“I don’t want to quit. Figuratively, in a match, or in my career—that’s easy … You can’t be defeated. Every experience makes you; it’s important to keep fighting. It sounds cliché, ‘Never give up,’ but that actually means a lot.”

Thank you, Serena. We needed that.
