“It’s a process. It’s a lifestyle. I think that when you’re trying to play as long as I’m trying to play — I’m trying to play to 45, 12 more years — for me, the mentality, the focus level, everything that you have to do has to be surrounded on that,” Wilson explained. “It’s been an amazing journey for me so far.”
