QUOTES: 

Quincy

1. The reason why you played the game is because you love the game. (8:01 – 8:03)

2. Negativity is what people are using to suppress you and bring you down, so you want to use that as positivity to lift yourself up. (13:03-13:09)

3. The American soccer system has created a lot of dependency and a lot of entitlement and I don’t think it was meant to be that way when it started out. (14:09 – 14:21)

4. We’re here to share our truth from our personal experience. (16:18- 16:23)

5. Just because you’ve been successful before doesn’t guarantee that you’ll continue to be successful. (18:27 – 18:30)

Eli Lesser

6.    I didn’t want to do everything the way it’s laid out for me because I want to create my own way and create my own unique experience because media is changing… I’m trying to find what that unique path can be for myself. (24:27-24:49)

7.    There are always ups and downs with this type of thing, but I’ve always just decided to stick with it whether I was having a good run or a bad run. (26:40 -26:50)

8.    I think everyone’s got to be positive when it comes to this league or else I don’t know where we could go from here. (29:00 -29:04) 

9.    Club, culture, community. Those mean so much to the League and I think it’s what makes Major League Soccer so interesting and so special. That’s what I want people to see when they’re looking to come into the league. (31:20 -31:36)

10.  The problem doesn’t go away because you’re not doing anything about it. (43:13 -43:18)
