You know that saying, "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade"? It sure seems that David Wilson has once or twice.
Just a short time ago, Wilson was forced to retire at a very young age from Professional Football due to a severe neck injury.
Often when in post retirement athletes get depressed or the very least have a void in their life due to no longer playing the game they've always loved.
Wilson 23, had already decided to pursue a career in track and field. Setting his eyes on the upcoming 2016 Olympics games in Brazil. His event of choice is triple jump. A discipline he performed in adolescence during high school.
Football and Track are two very different sports but in order to even make the NFL or Olympics an athlete has to have the drive, and discipline it takes to succeed. It looks like Wilson has both along with other essential intangibles to accompany his supreme athleticism, it will be interesting to follow his track Journey the next few years. Good Luck!
