Mental conditioning driving force behind Russell Wilson’s success

ESPN

Russell Carrington Wilson is a quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the University of Wisconsin during the 2011 season, in which he set the single-season FBS record for pass efficiency (191.8) and led the team to a Big Ten title and appearance in the 2012 Rose Bowl. Wilson initially played soccer and baseball for North Carolina State University from 2008 to 2010 before transferring to Wisconsin.

It should be noted that Wilson has been named for six Pro Bowls and has started in two Super Bowls, winning Super Bowl XLVIII. He holds the record for the most victories of an NFL quarterback for seven seasons (75) and is one of the two quarterbacks in NFL history with a career passer rating of over 100. On 15 April 2019, Wilson signed a four-year, $ 140 million contract extension with the Seahawks, making him the highest-paid player in the NFL.

Behavior is the world of Trevor Moawad, and visual exercises are part of the regular work he does with Wilson. And it could be said that he is an expert in brain training, and Wilson is his best-known student. Their weekly sessions usually last about 90 minutes and take place in person or by phone. They talk about things like neutral thinking, goal setting, language and the set of marginal gains.

“I’ve lived in this world [of mental conditioning] for 18 years, and superhero gifts are not the defining factor”, Moawad said. “Elite behavior is the deciding factor, and you take people with average talent and great behavior — they’re going to make it. Russell is a collection of world-class behaviors. … He has very good gifts, but he has exceptional behavior. But if he didn’t act the way he acts, he wouldn’t be who he is “.

Certainly the two will say that it is no accident that Wilson is a Super Bowl champion, six times Pro Bowler and the owner of the richest contract in NFL history. Nor do they think it’s a coincidence that a few days after reliving that 2015 performance against Pittsburgh, Wilson was equally brilliant: three touchdowns, no selections and an 82.5% better completion rate in his career, in a two-point victory at Heinz Field

“It’s a massive part of it”, Wilson said of the edge he believes his work with Moawad gives him.
