How Trevor Moawad helped Russell Wilson?
Trevor Moawad always believed that Russell Wilson is a winner. Wilson’s relationship with sports psychologist Moawad was further deepened when he became the co-founder of Limitless Minds with Russell, his brother Harry Wilson, and D.J. Eidson in 2019. However, their relationship became important much earlier. The Seattle Seahawks‘ Super Bowl XLIX defeat in 2015, was capped off with Wilson’s interception at the goal line. After that Wilson was shattered, but his best mentor Moawad came to his rescue. The process of getting beyond that incident started when Moawad reached out to Wilson the next morning.

Wilson was inspired by Moawad’s unfailing confidence in his skills, who told him, “You’re a winner. You’re a winner. I believe in Russell Wilson. I believe in No. 3. What are we going to do about it?” In order to work on Wilson’s thinking, they left for San Diego. With constant inspiration, Russell Wilson regained his strength and made the decision that the incident would not define his career.
