PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Coffee Club Pure Vitamin Club Villa Cappelli F Bomb Crowd Cow DR. STANLEY G ROBERTSON Check out his book here Dr. Robertson is not afraid of being uncomfortable, going through pain A former Marine Not a quitter, could not be Quit-shaming is popular in our society Someone saying, "you're doing this, but you should be doing that" Other people don't know what is best for your life Trust yourself Do what you feel you ought to do, so long as it's benefitting you (and not causing harm) We can't be embarrassed around the idea of quitting One of the main focuses of his work is that winners do quit The stigma around quitting is limiting and can be very harmful for growth and making a difference It's okay to quit to better position yourself for your overall life, for your goals, etc. We cling to things that don't work for us because of pressure and fear of being labeled a 'quitter', even if quitting is for the best Many an athlete has quit Trusting one's conscience, one's gut instinct is very important Can be more important than not being labeled a 'quitter' Vinnie personally thinks it may be problematic to quit in the middle of something Ex: Dante quitting in the middle of the season, hurts his teammates, puts others in jeopardy Dr. Robertson's counter is that he does not feel his quitting put these people in jeopardy His teammates are all professionals If he jeopardizes the team, that is the coaching staff, team's fault Him staying in a game he believes he should not be playing may put the team in jeopardy - quitting can be important He believes being in the line of duty is obviously different –- quitting as a Marine during combat is a different story Quitting does not equal being a loser by default
