I get you might say, ‘ I practice stoicism’ or ‘I apply stoic values to my life,’ but ‘I am a stoic’ does sound like ‘I am Groot.’
I mean I have a friend who helps moderate a stoicism discord and has published a philosophical paper about stoicism. He doesn’t lead with “I’m a stoic.”
I may be wrong about this, but it feels to me like anyone publicly announcing themselves as a stoic is already kind of not practicing stoicism.
Training days test your patience. Stoicism teaches: progress is in the grind, not the glory. Every drill is a step toward greatness. 🔄 #SoccerStoic#Soccer#StoicSoccer#Football#Stoicism#Philosophy#Wisdom

This reminds me of similar hero worship for guys like John Wayne and Clint Eastwood for the older set. That whole go-it-alone I don't need nobody i'mma tell it like it is tough guy faux stoicism thing. Everyman is an island and there's no such thing as a tragic figure or a cautionary tale.
The opposition, the weather, the ref—you can't control any of them. But your attitude? That's all you. Control the controllable. 🎯 #SoccerStoic#Soccer#StoicSoccer#Football#Stoicism#Philosophy#Wisdom
Victory or defeat, it’s all temporary. The only constant is how you carry yourself through it. Play the game like a Stoic. 🏆 #SoccerStoic#Soccer#StoicSoccer#Football#Stoicism#Philosophy#Wisdom
