PRINCIPLES - Why I HATE Running And Still Play Pro Soccer | #AskASoccerPro Show Ep. 032

by Quincy Amarikwa

 

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. The MSL in one sentence: Doing things you know you need to, to achieve and do the things that you want to.

  2. For anything to stand the test of time it has to be built on a foundation of principles. Something that holds true when things are good AND when things are bad.

  3. Relevancy is directly correlated to knowledge and your ability to extract it’s value at a certain point in time. For example, knowing how to produce vinyl records is much less valuable today than it was 30 years ago.

  4. Just because something is rare does not make it valuable.

  5. Knowledge becomes wisdom when you learn how to pass it onto others so they can create the same experience for themselves.

  6. You will never be able to progress if you are not self aware.

  7. In order to get “there”, you need to know where are you going, and that is where setting goals comes into play.

  8. Success does not come without sacrifice, and most people aren’t willing to make sacrifices because they choose short-term comfort over long term happiness.
