Quincy Wilson expressed his thoughts about his loss at the VA Showcase 2025 early in the track season in an interview with Noah Lyles, Grant Holloway, and Rai Benjamin in the 'Beyond the Records' podcast. The American athlete expressed how the loss gave him a completely different perspective about his performance and helped him to self-introspect on multiple aspects.

He revealed how the dynamic aspect of the sport is what makes it interesting, and the increasing competition is helping him to push his limits.

"The loss that I had a couple of weeks ago, I got to relook at everything differently. Just like, now it's time to change a lot of things around because there's always this person that's hungrier. You think that you are hungry but you never know what can happen. So, it's just. It was real blessing for me. The loss wasn't needed, I feel like the lessons that I learned was what I needed. I think I needed the lessons because they can't alwys be high, you can't always be high," he said.

Furthermore, he hoped to improve his performances as the season progressed and dominate the senior track circuit.
