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
