How To Handle The Haters and Special Guest Chris Durkin Joins The Live! | #AskASoccerPro Show Ep. 034

In the #AskASoccerPro Show 11 year MLS vet Quincy Amarikwa breaks down the MSL (Mental Strength League), an ongoing game that he believes he and everyone else is a conscious or unconscious participant. 

This is a philosophy and mindset he has developed, refined and implemented over the course of his life and now 11+ year professional soccer career... 

And what he attributes to finding success in his personal, business and soccer endeavors… Resulting in the creation of the “Amarikwa Process.” A 7-step mindset process Quincy refers to when tackling any endeavor or meeting new, temporary obstacles.

Join him live every Thursday at 6PM PST on the @Perfect_Soccer Instagram account to learn to develop your mental strength and get your questions answered:

Best Quotes From Episode: 

  1. Mental repetitions are just as valuable as the physical ones.

  2. Little issues compounded over time turn into big problems.

  3. You need to do the work especially when you don’t feel like doing the work.

  4. You can go over all the technical drills and spend all your time practicing but at the end of the day it’s all about who wins the mental strength battle.

  5. If you can keep a clear head during the negative moments you will shine during the positive ones.

  6. Sometimes a “slap to the face” can do wonders for people.

  7. If you compare yourself to others you will never measure up because you’ll never have all the information. The only person you should compare yourself to is who you are and the work you’re putting in to become who you want to become.
