"Feels amazing to come back to the school and see the kids having a big smile on their faces. I feel like that is my big goal at the end of the day. It's really not to get the gold medals and keep winning, put a legacy on this sport, and letting the kids know they can do something they can't do," he said.

Wilson urged the youngsters to remain focused and put their best effort into whatever they were trying to achieve without being affected by people's opinions about them.

"Stay focused, never put limits on yourself. There are so many things that can happen. Honestly, staying focused on what you want to do, don't get put into the crowd everybody wants you to. Stay focused on what you want to do, and sky is the limit," he added.
