Fake It Till You Make It Is Stupid | #AskASoccerPro Show Ep.024

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 you train yourself to do the things that you hate doing, you are going to create opportunities for yourself to do the things that you love.

  2. Trick your mind into taking any negative state in this moment as fuel for personal motivation to get you where you want to go

  3. Failure happens only if you decide to give up. If you make a mistake, self-reflect and implement what you’ve learned moving forward, that is not a failure, that’s progress.

  4. “Fake it till you make it” may work in the short term, but what happens when people learn that you are faking it in the long term?

  5. Most people are trying to make other people like them, and they think the best way to do that is to agree with whatever the other person says in that moment. That hurts you and them in the long term. Short term pain for long term prosperity.

  6. You can get whatever you want in life if you help as many people get what they want in life.
