Quincy Wilson opens up about inspiring young kids with his pursuits on the track

Quincy Wilson expressed his thoughts about inspiring the younger generation with his incredible pursuits on the track in his recent visit to Tulip Grove Elementary School. The American athlete shared that it felt incredible to return to the school and see the students with a smile on their faces.
Wilson shared that it was one of his biggest goals to create an impact on the upcoming generation and leave behind a legacy with a message that there was nothing that couldn't be achieved.
"Feels amazing to coming back to the school and seeing the kids having a big smile on their face. 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 kids to never be bound by limits and to work hard towards their goals.
"Stay focussed, 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.
Quincy Wilson hoped to continue to put incredible performances and inspire people with his relentless pursuits on the track.
