Quotes from the episode

Quincy Amarikwa

Quincy Amarikwa: (03:39)

A lot of you guys are stuck at home with the quarantine, but that's no excuse not to get your extra reps in your touches on the ball. No room, no problem.

Quincy Amarikwa: (06:39)

What I do is I use a balloon and this is what I used to do back when I think it was Nike football.com when it first came out, you're watching like Ronaldinho tricks and stuff on the computer. I'm dating myself there, but this was like, that was like next level brand new. [Quincy on how he started practicing juggling]

Quincy Amarikwa: (12:45)

We do what we know we need to do consistently before it's popular.

Quincy Amarikwa: (18:54)

There's nothing that you're not allowed to do. The main thing is just saying, are you understanding that when you choose certain things, you're saying you're choosing to say no to other things. 

Quincy Amarikwa: (28:46)

So pretty much, uh, the free agency is like quarantine, right? You're without team, you're trading on your own. You're by yourself, nobody's helping you.  

Quincy Amarikwa: (38:26)

Not everyone's gonna be happy with you all the time. And if you expect people to be happy with you all the time, then you really have no chance of surviving at the professional level either on or off the field. 

Quincy Amarikwa: (46:45)

I understand how money can be a limiting factor, but not anymore. Not anymore. Because we created this platform, we created these systems and processes and I'm telling you, none of these things existed when I was playing growing up. 

Quincy Amarikwa: (50:53)

This time is a gift. Everybody. It really is a gift and people won't fully understand what type of gift this is until maybe three, six, nine, 12 months after it's passed.

Quincy Amarikwa: (55:24)

What is soccer about and how do you work on it? It's about, it's about art. It's about, there's no one way to play the game and there's no one way to win the game always. And there's no guarantees and anyone on any day can win. And that's why it's art. It's beautiful. 

Ryan Masch

Ryan Masch: (01:40)

Just stuck at home as everyone else is but, still working on training and getting my players going and helping whoever needs it. 

Ryan Masch: (05:11)

Get your questions into Quincy. He's a great resource for you guys to start to understand a lot of different aspects of the game. So, use this time wisely and get your questions answered. 

Earl Edwards Jr.

Earl Edwards Jr.: (24:41)

I might give up a couple, but I'll win the war.
