How the Movie Whiplash Can Make You A Better Soccer Player

Ever see the movie Whiplash?  The Farmer's Insurance guy
(J.K. Simmons - great actor) plays a sadistic music
teacher/mentor.  A very talented drummer quits.  A few
months later they run into each other in a bar.
 Andrew (the drummer) says: But is there a
line? You know, maybe you go too far, and you discourage the next
Charlie Parker from ever becoming Charlie Parker?
Fletcher (the sadistic mentor): No, man, no.
Because the next Charlie Parker would never be discouraged.


In this episode of The Soccer Specialist Podcast we talk a little
bit about this idea of mental toughness, overcoming obstacles and
never being discouraged so you can overcome and become the best
possible player you can be.
