Teamwork: How To Make Better Decisions On The Soccer Field | #AskASoccerPro Show Ep. 020

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

Best Quotes From Episode: 

1. If who you were now was enough to get what you want you wanted, you’d already know what you need to keep doing.

2. We need to improve who we are and the things we do, to become the type of person who will earn the things that we say we want.

3. Try not to allow the pursuit of being a goalscorer, cloud your decision making on the field.

4. I believe the way to play the game is to know what you’re good at, you know what your job is, and you do it well.

5. The higher up in the ranks you progress, the less time you have to make decisions on the field.

6. You need to focus on you, and what you need to do to get better.

7. Believing that you are the best is a good thing but there is a difference between self delusion and self confidence.

8. The problems you face on the soccer field are probably the same problems you face off the field. If you are not good at communicating off the field, how would you expect to be good at it in the heat of a game?

9. There are win - win situations all the time, but not in soccer. We can draw, but we can’t both win.
