iamathlete "Introducing @DANGERUSSWILSON on @IAMATHLETE:
Russell Wilson, who is an acclaimed, Super Bowl winning QB and 9x Pro Bowler, hails from Cincinnati, OH but spent his formative years in Richmond, VA. He was raised in a nurturing household with both parents excelling in their respective fields as a lawyer and nursing director. His grandfather was a basketball player at KSU and his father a standout athlete who was a wide receiver for the San Diego Chargers - Russell's path to stardom as an athlete was seemingly predestined.
Beyond the field, Russell is revered as a man of unwavering and great faith, a devoted father, a loving husband, and an epitome of resilience. His journey serves as an inspiration to young, aspiring athletes worldwide.
Despite the inevitable challenges that accompany the life of a superstar athlete, Russell consistently finds silver linings through adversity, he extracts valuable lessons from every struggle of his. His compassion and constant optimism keeps him going. It reminds us of the goodness that exists in even the darkest of moments. Even though he has 12 years under his belt in the professional league, Russell states that his journey has just begun. He's constantly on a path to growth and sharing his light with the world and wants to continue making an impact both on and off the field.
We're super grateful that Russell extended his time and grace to us at I Am Athlete. We appreciate you, always!"
