Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson is still improving his game by working on the fundamentals. He's getting back to basics in order to build on the success of the 'Hawks' Super Bowl-winning season last year. In much the same way, he's getting back to the basics after his divorce as well. Wilson doesn't talk about his love life in the press, but last month he was reportedly spotted at the ESPYs with virgin Olympic sensation Lolo Jones. The two athletes are both very outspoken about their Christian faith, but observers saw the two get real up close and personal that night.
Wilson has managed to find things to work on in his pursuit of a second consecutive Super Bowl ringa. He and the team are not content to let the chips fall where they may (via USA Today):
"I think just to continue to improve my footwork, improve everything I do, all the little details. I'm trying to be great one day. I'm constantly working on the little details. Not one particular thing, but trying to improve my footwork, my balance, and my base."
Of course it's not all work and no play for ol' Russ. According to Page Six, he and fellow Christian athlete Lolo Jones were stuck like glue by each other all night after the ESPYs (via Page Six):
"Wilson attended the ESPYs with his younger sister Anna, but Jones, a professed virgin, posted a sultry Twitter photo of herself next to Wilson holding an ESPY Award while flashing a lot of leg under her thigh-high, split red skirt."
Whether it's on the field or off, Wilson is a professional. He is a seeker of excellence. But it gets lonely sometimes. Maybe the QB and the Olympic hurdler/bobsledder can share an ice cream sundae before they both go back to training 15 hours a day and denying themselves basic human desires. Good luck, you guys.
