QUOTES: 

Quincy

1.  The mindset that we’re here to develop and I’m here to share with you is one that allows you to continue to move forward regardless of the reasons it doesn’t work out in your favor. [07:19 – 07:28]

2. It can be very difficult when you are viewed differently than you believe yourself to be or perceive yourself to be. [08:58 – 09:10]

3. You can only control what you can control. You can show up every day and you can work really hard, you can help your teammates both on and off the field, you can show up when your opportunity comes and you can deliver on the expectations or lack of expectations… you can do all the things you know you can to the level that you know you’re capable of and in the end you still might not be rewarded, compensated, or kept around for your efforts. [09:29 – 10:17] 

4. We survive by taking personal responsibility for where we want to go and use the experiences and the knowledge that we’ve acquired along the way to just be better, to improve, and to keep our power… because we know we don’t want to blame and we’re not going to blame other people for anything. [22:45 – 23:07]

5. We look at every negative thing that someone has to say about us, even if it’s true, and use that as fuel to get better. [49:46 – 49:50] 

Brooklynn

6.   I thought I did pretty good and I was excited to see when it was going to be posted who made the team. But then, I didn’t make the team and I was mad. I didn’t want to tryout ever again. [35:42 -35:55]

7. I look at it as a good thing [not making the team]. It’s a way I could have learned and I’m looking forward to the next tryout. [53:47 – 53:56] 

Mark

8.  She’s [Brooklynn] always wanted to play. Like she’s always wanted to go outside and play and kick the ball around. [26:57 – 27:00]

9. Being your kid’s coach is a different beast. [45:19- 45:21]
