Russell Wilson makes a plea for coaching lessons from 'Auntie' Serena Williams
Russell Wilson is no stranger to experiencing success in athletics, and like most, he probably agrees that sports should start early in a child's development. Taking to social media, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback pressed for potentially the best coach one could ask for.
Posting on his Instagram story, Wilson explained that his daughter, Sienna Princess Wilson, aka SiSi, would be learning tennis. In the same image, he asked Serena Williams if she would teach his 6-year-old daughter the swing of things.
"Auntie Serena Williams, how much for an hour lesson?" he asked.
The request was followed by three laughing emojis, which, to some, may indicate that he's joking. However, considering his athletic background and hunger for training, getting such a request fulfilled would not be a complete shock. He also tagged his wife, Ciara, in the story.
The post was singular, with the previous photo also concerning his family and sports. Wilson and what appear to be his two children posed for a picture. Wilson wore a black top and black pants, while his kids wore baseball garb.
Russell Wilson named "Sexiest Man of the Moment"
It appears the Steelers quarterback may have started the year with a big loss in his exit from the Denver Broncos, but he still managed to win one award while earning money from the team.
Essence magazine named the quarterback the "Sexiest Man of the Moment" last week. With the award came a cover of the magazine as well as a story gushing about the quarterback.
"Russell Wilson’s talent knows no bounds. When you think you know what to expect, he flips expectations and pushes the boundaries of what we believe an athlete should be. Versatility, by definition, is the ability to adapt. Versatility personified is Russell Wilson," the post read.
Many fans agreed with the choice, with mostly burnt Broncos and salty Seahawks fans casting shade on him when the quarterback announced it on April 10. The full cover story was released on April 23, in the shadow of the 2024 NFL draft.
Some fans have braced for the Steelers to draft another signal-caller to pair with Wilson and new quarterback Justin Fields. While still young in his tenure, many expect the Steelers quarterback to watch the NFL draft, perhaps while reading a copy of his cover story.
