Booker Corgan Speaks To Seahawks' Russell Wilson Before Sunday's Game
Ahead of Sunday's game in Baltimore, Russell Wilson called in to speak to his former coach and advisor Booker Corrigan. Russell says although the Seahawks and the Ravens are on different paths in the playoffs, he knows they still have a "tough challenge in Baltimore" with the Ravens having had some pretty close games.
Russell Wilson grew up as a three-sport athlete, and was even drafted by the Baltimore Orioles after high school. So, when asked how he managed to do it all, he said "one of the biggest things I always stress to the parents (and the kids), is that playing multiple sports gives you a great opportunity to not only be more athletic and make more plays...but getting outside and getting off the video games or being on the basketball court gives you a chance to communicate and grow in terms of knowledge and socially with other cultures and other kids."
Russell Wilson also speaks about how he has used sports to breakthrough setbacks and adversity.
There was even a rapid fire question round at the very end when we find out what Russell Wilson's favorite sports movie is and the best way to get his attention for an autograph after a game.
