"I didn't even know how much the contract was worth until I saw an article about it," Gauff reflects on her partnership with New Balance
During the *Nice Talk* show, Gauff looked back on the partnership she signed with the famous American sports brand New Balance. At just 14 years old, the player revealed she was unaware of any of the terms when she committed to the brand:
"I didn’t know anything about it. When I signed with New Balance at 14, I didn’t even know how much the contract was worth until I saw an article about it. And when New Balance came along, to be honest, my dad told me, 'Let’s do it. I think you’re going to like it. Trust me.'
And I said, 'Okay.' But he did it without talking about money or anything else. But it ended up being the best decision ever. And I’m really grateful he had that vision."
A choice that proved rewarding for Gauff, who has since even launched her own shoe line, the CG1.
