According to The New York Times, Isha Price states that the girls were required to get up at 6 o'clock in the morning, practice tennis, go to school, and then play tennis again. Much of the rigorous training depicted in the film is true. She often brought tidbits of information to the actors about their family life and growing up with Richard as their offbeat and ambitious father. Price was on set for most filming days and was imperative to the film's realistic portrayal of the Williams family. Venus and Serena got executive producer credits for King Richard, as did Isha Price, but she took a far more active role in the Will Smith-centered biopic.
In reality, Isha Price was fine with the film's omission of her tennis potential in her early life.

Before Isha went on to become a lawyer, she briefly trained with her stepfather before pulling out due to a back injury. However, it's interesting that the film doesn't include older sister Isha Price's real-life tennis career.
Will Smith's character doesn't force sibling rivalry onto Venus and Serena, rather, he makes sure that the sisters remain humble and support one another. Something that isn't mentioned in King Richard is Isha Price's (Daniele Lawson) short-lived tennis ambitions.
