I Love My Haters | #AskASoccerPro Show Ep. 021

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. I want to beat you, but I want to beat you when you are giving 100% of your effort so you have no excuse other that I was better than you on that day.

2. Self-awareness is your ability to recognize your strengths, your weaknesses, your advantages and disadvantages. So self awareness is understanding where you are, when you are, and starting to formulate a plan to get to where you want to be.

3. Whatever your course of action might be, you need to have consistency in doing it, otherwise you are set to fail from the beginning.

4. Nothing worth achieving comes easy.

5. If everything is given to you, you don’t value anything. If you don’t value anything, nothing has any worth to you. You won’t have a purpose and you'll never feel fulfilled. It’s harder to get out of that than to start in a disadvantageous position in the first place.
