(popculture.) Russell Wilson is 31 years old and is in the prime of his career. He is playing at a very high level and is leading many to believe that he will end the season as NFL MVP. Now Wilson has revealed that he spends a large sum of money each year in order to help him play so well.
“I probably spend a million if not more on recovery,” Wilson told Bill Simmons during a recent interview. “It’s not just the recovery part of it. That’s huge. For me, the biggest thing for me is the mental game. The mental game is so important.” The conversation revealed more information about Wilson’s training schedule, his mindset and the technology that he incorporates to keep him playing at an MVP level. He has two hyperbaric chambers, a full-time trainer, a physical therapist and two chefs. He also trains 363 days each year, only taking off Christmas and Thanksgiving.
