In a previous video posted on her Facebook page on June 30, Maria Sharapova revealed that she had woken up at 5.30 am to work on her presentation.
With a fresh cuppa in her hand, she said, "Another day at school, and another 5.30 am wake up call. Here I am checking out the campus and getting my morning fix."
She also explained how her class of 55 students was organized into groups and how her product Sugarpova was picked as a case study. "So we were signed into smaller groups, and I chose the subject of product and marketing. Our assignment for the last day of the school is that one of us presents our product and the challenges we face as a company. So my group decided that product will be Sugarpova - it wasn't my choice, trust me," she said.
