I dont see any problem with anything he said. He was being honest. We all talk about how important chemistry is to a team sport and how highly a coach like PC values 'fit' in terms of personality and characterter. It works both ways and really transcends sport to any line of work involving teamwork.It wasn’t my type of system, my type of place' - L.J. Collier on his time with the Seahawks.
Curious to see how everyone responds to this statement.
Over my career , I've had jobs in the same field, doing the same thing where I've excelled, and those where I've struggled and it's entirely been a matter of fit. My skillset didn't change. My approach didn't change. But the way I was motivated by the environment, the interface with team members and leadership... those things made a difference. It's not that any one was good or bad. It came down to how the particular environment boosted enthusiasm, interest, motivation, etc.
I think LJ is probably a good dude who just didn't feel like he was in a place where he could find that extra nudge to get to the next level. Could be that he just lost confidence after his underwhelming first year and never found what he needed mentally or emotionally to overcome it. Happens to a lot of people. A change of scenery can sometimes be all that's necessary to fully unlock one's potential.
