DEDICATION
Through good times and bad, Wilson has always remained dedicated. At the same
time, he also manages to have plenty of fun and isn’t afraid to have a good laugh.
Many struggle to balance hard work and fun, but this seems to be something Wil-
son has done quite well in his career. “I’ve been training with Tyla Rattray for the past
two-and-a-half years, and it’s a lot of hard work. We train every single day,” Wilson
said. “I think that’s what keeps me balanced. I still want to enjoy my life and live it as
much as I can. I think if you work hard and you have fun, you have a good balance.”
Furthermore, Wilson truly understands what dedication means as a professional.
“You won’t ever be a professional if you don’t put in the time, the motos, and the
work,” Wilson said. “You have to dedicate your life to it. I love what I do and I’m so
passionate about it. Obviously, I showed that at the beginning of the season. I love
this sport, and I wouldn’t have ever gone out and struggled as a privateer after be-
ing on a factory bike the year before if I didn’t. I’m passionate about what I do, and
I knew if I could stay healthy, there would be a light at the end of the tunnel. In this
day and age, you won’t get away with not putting in the time, and everybody in the
top 10 in both classes has to be dedicated to the sport.”
“I STILL WANT
TO ENJOY MY
LIFE AND LIVE IT
AS MUCH AS I CAN.
I THINK IF YOU
WORK HARD AND
YOU HAVE FUN,
YOU HAVE A GOOD
BALANCE.”
