Dallas Cowboys defensive superstar Micah Parsons has received quite a bit of criticism throughout his playing career, especially for the way that he has performed in the postseason. But it doesn’t seem like he’s all that bothered by that criticism.
During a recent interview, Micah Parsons offered a pretty surprising reaction to the criticism that he faces, calling it a “privilege” to face criticism because it means that people want him to be even better than he already is.
“The criticism is a privilege because sometimes a great standard is not good enough for those who are greater,” Parsons said at a youth football camp on Friday according to Sophia Vesely of the Dallas Morning News. “When people want things, you have to answer the call. It is not a negative thing. It is the most positive thing people can say to me because it pushes me and challenges me to be better. . . . It is a great privilege for someone to say, ‘Hey, you are great, but you can be greater.’”
Clearly, Parsons takes a unique approach as he embraces the criticism and uses it to drive him to become an even better and more dominant player.
