Controversial Statements: 

Quincy Amarikwa

Quincy Amarikwa: (10:47)

We have to question our own assumptions.

Quincy Amarikwa: (11:09)

You know that forcing the ball isn't what's in the best interest for the team yet, you still choose to do it. You're not being a team player, you're being a selfish player and you're doing it for yourself because you want you, you want the goal, you want the assists, you want the accolades, you want the attention, you want the glory.

Quincy Amarikwa: (12:23)

If you're saying I want to be a better player and I want to make the best decisions on the field, then you want to question your decision making process.

Quincy Amarikwa: (15:31)

If you don't know, ask, it's okay to not know. Right. And that's what's difficult I think for younger players to understand because many coaches don't create an environment where they want you to question them and to ask them stuff. 

Quincy Amarikwa: (16:07)

When you do have an opportunity to learn and it is a coach or is an individual or someone you feel wants to help you learn, don't pretend to know something. Ask for understanding. 

Quincy Amarikwa: (17:14)

The thing is that the game of soccer is very scenario specific, position specific. And that's why it's a beautiful game. You can play it a bunch of different ways.

Quincy Amarikwa: (58:27)

I stay ready so I don't have to get ready.

Guest

...That kind of helped many people like me get better in the mental game... Anis

...I just want to get better in controlling my emotions... Anis

That’s one of the fears too. Is Just losing the ball and then getting blamed for it.. Anis

John: (45:28)

I'm feeling more confident now because it's okay that I don't, that I'd had, I don't know, a lot of things,

John: (49:46)

that's just one person's opinion

John: (49:46)

that's just one person's opinion as well as I know that I'm going to keep working to get better and yeah

John: (55:57)

Just focus a lot on the mental side as well, you know, follow that MSL
