There are many other ways to show that you mean business, besides pulling your hair back into a ponytail.
These athletes not only slay with their game hairstyles, but also when they’re off duty. Which look will you try at your next gym sesh?
Serena Williams
On Court
What we like: While the style is subtle, the neon hair accessories are not! Use a fun hair accessory to amplify a simple look.
What we like: Williams is clever at employing a balance of volume in many of her off-duty looks. Here, her hair is pushed back at the hairline to let her curly mane take centre stage.
Misty Copeland
On Pointe

On Court
What we like: Sharapova’s signature ponytail and visor are just that, a signature.
What we like: A fan of the low bun on regular days, Sharapova adds personality to this off-duty look by trading in her visor for a short brim hat.

On Court
What we like: Three points to our point about hair accessories.
