Making Mistakes Is Ok & How Not To Transition To College | #AskASoccerPro Show Ep.006
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.
