We do the work that is necessary to reach our goals and maintain them once we get there. (20:56-21:06) What’s the point of becoming successful if, one, you don’t know how you got there, and two, you don’t know how to stay there once you get there? (21:06-21:14) The truth is difficult to sell, because the truth means that you have to address the things that you’ve been doing wrong and most people don’t want to hear that. (21:28-21:38) Most people aren’t able to accomplish things, not because they’re incapable, but because they’re incapable or don’t allow themselves to believe it could be possible. (22:57-23:09) Someone only knows you if they know how to make you mad. (28:24-28:27) Most people I don’t believe know how to properly value themselves and because of this they’re not able to capture their value. (44:00-44:05)

Best Quotes From Episode: You can plan for A to work out, but you are also doing the work for if A doesn’t work out. The smartest person in the room will definitely let other people believe themselves to be the smartest person in the room; if that is what they feel they need to be successful. The dynamics of something, once it turns into doing it for money, changes the dynamics of what it is you are doing. Your experience is going to be typical of the average person’s, unless you are willing to do unaverage things. However I can take responsibility for the failure or the shortcoming, I’m going to do that, because doing so gives me the power over my future.

In today’s episode: 00:00 - 02:01 - Introduction 02:07 - 07:56 - Having a hard time balancing school and soccer? Listen up! 08:00 - 17:58 - It’s about the discipline 22:13 - 26:24 - What drives Quincy to help others? 26:33 - 32:52 - Self interest will hurt you in the long run 33:41 - 39:53 - Are we getting mentally obese? 40:36 - 48:57 - How to get people out of your own head Best Quotes From Episode: At some point in life you will have to rely on your education and knowledge. Keep that in mind the next time you list your priorities. Learn from the mistakes of others. Everybody works to make money to live. If I can help you figure out a way to generate money doing the thing that you do in your free time, that to me is good business. Self interest benefits the individual but hurts the collective in the short term, but in the long run it’s the opposite, the individual will hurt while the collective will benefit. These days information is not considered valuable because you technically don’t have to work for it, you just open your phone and there it is. Be open to the idea that you can be wrong and it will still be ok Eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind, know what I’m sayin’? Don’t block out what people have to say, hear it, understand it, be grateful for it. People who want you to fail don’t tell you the truth If you’re not willing to invest in yourself, you will have a hard time accomplishing pretty much anything.

Results should speak for themselves, stats don’t lie but people can use the stats to lie. The hardest thing to deal with as a pro is not getting the credit you think you’ve earned. This is where your mental strength comes into play. If you learn how to manage your time, you will have the extra time you need to learn the other things that will help set you apart from your competition. Work with optimism but prepare with pessimism. Any adversity you face is just an opportunity for you to grow and improve. Nobody has your best interest in mind if they don’t teach you how they beat you! The more you practice your craft, the more your confidence will grow. Negativity is just someone else’s insecurities projected onto you.

In today’s episode: 00:00 - 04:56 - Introduction 05:27 - 07:30 - The value of MSL in late season 13:53 - 17:25 - Going against the coach’s directions 19:26 - 22:05 - Why are players nervous before a game 22:10 - 25:59 - Quincy skips leg day? 26:02 - 30:47 - Invest in yourself 35:08 - 39:58 - The difference between the MLS and the “Top 5” Leagues 44:29 - 46:47 - Shaking off aggressive defenders Best Quotes From Episode: In late season when bodies are tired, the MENTAL STRENGTH is the only thing that can help you overcome any obstacle. Always come with a perspective of open mindedness and a willingness to learn. One of the biggest reasons why players feel nervous before a game is their lack of confidence in their abilities due to lack of preparation. Making mistakes is required if you want to improve. Your job is to learn from your mistakes and not repeat them. Making small steps of progress, over a period of time will add up to big results. Money makes things easier for people. Even If you don’t have it, that just means you need to work harder. 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. The MSL is a philosophy and mindset Quincy has developed, refined and implemented over the course of his life and now 11+ year professional soccer career... And what he attributes to finding success in his personal, business and soccer endeavors. As a result of the MSL, Quincy created the “Amarikwa Process,” a 7-step mindset process he refers to when tackling any endeavor, or, meeting new, temporary obstacles.

Look at adversity as an opportunity to prove your worth and dedication to your goals. You can’t change someones mind, only they can do that. Taking responsibility might be scary, but it is also freeing because now you have the power to overcome whatever it is that you did wrong. You never really know what a game will be like, you need to prepare to be prepared for anything.

Not making a team, or getting cut is part of the process, it’s those who can learn to overcome this quickly that will achieve their goals. It takes the “MSL” mindset to even have a chance of making it, and even then it is not guaranteed.

That is why most people are not successful. Self awareness is a state of being which allows you to have better vision for yourself. Failure is not an option in the Mental Strength League. Adapt or die! Hard work beats talent eventually. It’s not where you start it’s where you finish.

Little issues compounded over time turn into big problems. You need to do the work especially when you don’t feel like doing the work. You can go over all the technical drills and spend all your time practicing but at the end of the day it’s all about who wins the mental strength battle. If you can keep a clear head during the negative moments you will shine during the positive ones. Sometimes a “slap to the face” can do wonders for people. If you compare yourself to others you will never measure up because you’ll never have all the information. The only person you should compare yourself to is who you are and the work you’re putting in to become who you want to become.

If you don’t implement the lessons you learn from others for yourself (take risks), you will never truly know if what they taught you is true or not. Just because it didn’t work for me, it doesn’t mean the same won’t work for you. Everyone’s experience is their own. To best be strategic with your time, first learn from the mistakes of others.

In today’s episode: 00:00 - 06:52 - Introduction 06:54 - 07:42 - Can virtual football help players develop? 07:46 - 11:51 - I HATE running 12:02 - 15:03 - What does rest mean to Quincy 17:48 - 20:04 - Starting for the last team, or warming the bench for the first? 20:27 - 24:09 - Quincy’s purpose in soccer 30:33 - 37:16 - How Quincy gets wiser Best Quotes From Episode: The MSL in one sentence: Doing things you know you need to, to achieve and do the things that you want to. 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. 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. Just because something is rare does not make it valuable. Knowledge becomes wisdom when you learn how to pass it onto others so they can create the same experience for themselves. You will never be able to progress if you are not self aware. In order to get “there”, you need to know where are you going, and that is where setting goals comes into play. 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.

Best Quotes From Episode: Learn how to learn. In this age of information, that is one of the most valuable skills you can develop. Reaching success isn’t a guarantee that you’ll be able to maintain it. Never allow yourself to become complacent. Confidence is the result of putting in the reps. Most people don’t put in the reps because they are afraid of making mistakes. Can you afford your mistakes? How do you know? At the end of the day, we’re all investors. Everyone may not have money to invest, but everyone has time. Never be afraid, or ashamed of asking questions or for help. 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: You are much more likely to regret not doing something you want to do, than to do it and fail in the process. Most people spend their time avoiding making mistakes, and I believe that’s a mistake, because mistakes are validations of progress. Reaching success is one thing, maintaining that success is a whole different ball game. You will have to make sacrifices in your life, the difference is whether you choose your sacrifice or not. Confidence is a process, one that starts with seeing something that you’re afraid of and doing it anyway.

Expect nothing but anticipate everything. 2. No one is perfect, but striving for perfection will keep you on your toes and stop you from getting complacent. 3. You can rest for weeks and prep your body with all the right things, but if you are not mentaly prepared, that physical strength will be gone as soon as you step on the field. 4. Always show up like it’s your first day in training, hungry for knowledge. 5. That moment when you skip something thinking it doesn’t matter, is a moment that will help you decide if you really want to make it or not. 6. You don’t need talent to work hard, but if you work hard long enough you develop talent.

Use the resources around you to the best of your ability, creativity will help you both on and off the field. If YOU need something, figure out what YOU can do to make it happen and do that. (Focus only on what you can control) Injuries are a part of the game, and they will happen. Accepting that is the first step of keeping a good mindset when injured. Any time spent complaining and blaming anyone around you is energy taken away from figuring out a solution to your obstacle. Playing to win and playing not to lose are two different worlds. Understanding the difference is what winners figure out. It’s easy to be positive when everything is going your way, character is who you choose to be when things aren’t going your way.

The longer you procrastinate on the things you know you need to do, the further the competition will get in front of you Doesn’t matter if you have 5 dollars or 5000000 dollars, the process of budgeting your percentage allocation should be the same. Your level of discipline in making decisions with a 5 dollar budget will determine your ability (or lack of ability) to manage 5000000, 50000000 and more. Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard.

YOU decide what perspective you are going to take on whatever comes up, good or bad. Thinking positive and being optimistic will help you get started in overcoming obstacles but you still need to put in the work. Thinking isn’t doing. Wisdom is you ability to duplicate your experiences for others, seeing the results for themselves before they do. Even if you know what you need to do, it is much more difficult to actually do it.

Best Quotes From Episode: 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. Trick your mind into taking any negative state in this moment as fuel for personal motivation to get you where you want to go 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. “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? 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. You can get whatever you want in life if you help as many people get what they want in life.

What if the future was right in front of you face but you didn’t believe it, does it mean it doesn’t exist? How you interpreted the words being spoken and what the person meant when saying them are two different things. Consistency and dedication over time yield results. No one has your perspective but you, which is what makes it very valuable. You can be the best student of the game and learn everything there is about soccer, but if you don’t apply what you’ve learned it won't matter.

The thing that sets players apart is the quality of the decisions they make and the speed at which they make decisions. 2. Success is whatever you define it to be for yourself. 3. The longer it takes to build something, the longer it will take for that same thing to crumble and fall. 4. My definition of life is work, my definition of work is passion and my definition of passion is something I would still do whether or not I was praised acknowledged or paid for doing so. 5. Don’t use not liking something as a justification for why you don’t do it. 6. How consistent are you in your work to achieve your goals? 7. Don’t blame others for your lack of success or attribute other people's success to luck.

Self-awareness is your ability to recognize your strengths, your weaknesses, your advantages and disadvantages. So self awareness is understanding where you are, when you are, and starting to formulate a plan to get to where you want to be. Whatever your course of action might be, you need to have consistency in doing it, otherwise you are set to fail from the beginning. Nothing worth achieving comes easy. If everything is given to you, you don’t value anything. If you don’t value anything, nothing has any worth to you. You won’t have a purpose and you'll never feel fulfilled. It’s harder to get out of that than to start in a disadvantageous position in the first place.

In today’s episode: 00:00 - 01:26 - What we talk about here at AASP 02:55 - 06:25 - Theme of the day: teamwork 06:48 - 08:46 - Wanna score goals as a right wing? 08:51 - 12:11 - How much does Quincy run? 16:59 - 18:12 - Should I change positions if the coach asks? 21:45 - 25:09 - What is your role on the team? 25:43 - 28:12 - Reading the game defensively 38:36 - 39:55 - Believing you are the best 40:10 - 42:06 - Make better decisions 43:20 - 50:04 - Good players ask for advice too Best Quotes From Episode: If who you were now was enough to get what you want you wanted, you’d already know what you need to keep doing. We need to improve who we are and the things we do, to become the type of person who will earn the things that we say we want. Try not to allow the pursuit of being a goalscorer, cloud your decision making on the field. I believe the way to play the game is to know what you’re good at, you know what your job is, and you do it well. The higher up in the ranks you progress, the less time you have to make decisions on the field. You need to focus on you, and what you need to do to get better. Believing that you are the best is a good thing but there is a difference between self delusion and self confidence. The problems you face on the soccer field are probably the same problems you face off the field. If you are not good at communicating off the field, how would you expect to be good at it in the heat of a game? There are win - win situations all the time, but not in soccer. We can draw, but we can’t both win.

In today’s episode: 00:00 - 06:50 - Introduction and greeting fans 06:50 - 08:02 - Theme of the day: Growth mindset 09:28 - 10:41 - Was is hard to get in the MLS? 10:56 - 14:57 - Advice for utility players 16:16 - 19:46 - Going through college or straight to pro? 20:32 - 28:01 - Overcoming doubt 28:16 - 31:45 - Individual or team rewards? 33:06 - 36:20 - Preparing for college soccer 38:15 - 40:38 - Why did Quincy choose MLS over Europe? 45:06 - 47:10 - How does the game change at different levels? 48:25 - 51:44 - Extremely into the growth mindset 52:28 - 53:50 - There is no avoiding the work 53:52 - 56:07 - What is your WHY? Best Quotes From Episode: Those who doubt themselves tend to spend a lot of time doing so, instead of working on the things they need to do or put in place to avoid that doubt in the future. It’s ok to only be hungry for individual rewards, but know that doing so will require you to be ok with alone. You want to seek situations that force you to adapt, grow and overcome. At the youth and college level the game is fun. Once money is introduced to the equation, there is a different level of expectation from you and everyone around you. Most players can’t adapt because they focus on how they wish it should be, rather than prepare for how it actually is. I approach every day with the effort, motivation and learning eye like it’s my first practice. There is no avoiding the work, there is no special pill or trick, it usually is doing the simple things well, and doing them over and over and over and over... If you need motivation to do something, you are never going to do anything long enough to find success. You need to find a REASON WHY you will do something even when you’re not motivated. 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.

In today’s episode: 00:00 - 04:24 - Introduction 04:45 - 08:03 - Step 3: Self-accountability 09:17 - 11:21 - Hold accountable on the things you hate doing 11:46 - 15:11 - Friendly reminder: We’re playing the MSL 16:19 - 17:26 - Falling back in school, too focused on soccer 18:52 - 22:18 - Break down your goals 23:34 - 27:10 - Do pros have free time? 29:15 - 31:31 - Training as a youth player 31:41 - 34:59 - Useless information is an expense 35:22 - 39:26 - It depends on the perspective you take 42:18 - 45:51 - Not getting enough playtime? 50:52 - 52:50 - The truth hurts 53:41 - 58:39 - Patience is key Best Quotes From Episode: No one should want to achieve your goals more than you should want to for yourself. If you enjoy doing something, at the very least find a way to make it more than just entertainment What separates the players that progress from the players that regress, is procrastination. If you can learn to find purpose and a point of view that will be beneficial to you in the future, every piece of information you take in is potentially useful. If things out of your control are holding you back, you have one option: accept it and decide if the outcome is worth it or not. If it is, stop complaining, if it isn’t, find something else. Slow and steady wins the race, the problem is, people want to win now at the expense of being able to also win later. MSL of the day: Even when I lose, I win! Optimistic futurist!
