Russell Wilson’s conditioning coach steers him away from country music

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson’s mental conditioning coach Trevor Moawad diverts him from negative media like country music.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is among the top signal-callers in the NFL and there are numerous people responsible for his impressive career, not least of all Wilson himself.

However, one of the biggest components of Wilson’s success is his mental conditioning coach Trevor Moawad. Moawad’s coaching emphasizes not getting caught up in the moment, no matter how many bad moments a player may have had throughout a game and focusing on the play at hand.

“You have three bad quarters, you’ve thrown four interceptions, you own that,” Moawad said during an interview on KIRO Radio’s Seattle’s Morning News. “But the next seven minutes are going to be based on what you do, not what you did.”

Moawad has also steered Wilson away from generally negative media, which apparently includes country music.

“You know, country music is great, but it’s so negative that … we don’t want to have that really dictating our internal ad campaign,” Moawad continued. “That doesn’t mean you can’t listen to it, but if you’re going through a divorce or a tough challenge and you’re listening to sad music, you’re going to be influenced negatively.”

Moawad will continue to steer Wilson towards success for the 2020 season, which will hopefully lead the team to realize their Super Bowl ambitions.
