Perceptions of Perfection | Joey Harrington | TEDxPortland

- With an honest and vulnerable approach, Joey Harrington, delivers a masterful Talk on the idea that perfection is a matter of perception. From the narcissistic pitfalls of social media to the "Joey Heisman" billboard in Times Square, we are setting ourselves up for failure if we do not choose to live our most authentic, true selves.
Joey played quarterback for the University of Oregon and earned a spot among Heisman Trophy finalists in 2001. After a career in the NFL, he returned home to dedicate himself to supporting education for in-state youth. His nonprofit, the Harrington Family Foundation, has raised over $1M for Oregon student scholarships. In 2014, Harrington announced the Oregon Community Quarterback Scholarship - a four-year scholarship
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
As a USC fan, Joey drove me completely up the wall during his time with Oregon…he was a damn talent! I was excited to see him play with the Lions and soon after he became a punchline that I never quite understood. Happy to see him doing well and I can only imagine succumbing to all the pressure of greatness. God bless, #3.
Love this! Takes a man, like Joey, to be vulnerable and call us out like this. Always been a fan of Joey, but this brings a newfound respect for him. Thanks for sharing!
I'm not a Lions fan but I live in Michigan and I rooted for Joey to do well. He was let down by above all terrible management, then atrocious coaching which led to a carousel of constantly rotating coaches and finally a non-existent line, below average positional talent and a defense which made them play catch up. He didn't turn out to be a star in the NFL but he sure was a helluva player in college who was fun to watch. I remember my senior year of High School being super existed about the Colorado-Oregon Fiesta Bowl.
This the true ted talk. All are good, but i like this one better than any other ted talk
Thank you so much. I am a recovering perfectionist. I have been feeling ashamed embarrassed depressed. Thank you for sharing your experience. 🙂🙂🙂
Enjoyed your talk, it is still powerful today as it was when you delivered it in 2016. Bless you!😄
Be Proud of yourself this took real courage to show others the way.
the most authentic ted talk, I ever watched. Thank you, for giving me a new perspective to deal with my own perfection dilemma.
Me too!!!
oh, man. i don't know who this guy is, but this is one of the most inspiring Ted Talks I've watched.
So incredibly vulnerable. Thank you for sharing your experience. Much love to you Joey!
I watched every game he played as a Lion, as a true fan we knew the losing seasons were never his fault. He gave it all he had, but the coaching staff, management and ownership of that team just didn't listen to him. They wanted the Bill Parcells way of offense which was vastly outdated by the time Joey got there and forced him to perform in that system. Tom Brady would have failed if he were there. I wish you nothing but great days Mr. Harrington.

An original is always worth more than a copy! Always be true to yourself and always BE yourself! xo :-) Never look from the outside what you should be giving yourself from the inside.
Ironically, I found this when listening to the Detroit Lions podcast. Nice talk, Joey. I'll forward you a like. Just don't let it go to your head. 😀
This is the video i wanted
When something succeeds it is success...perfection is just a Greek ideal.
Thank you. I have 2 sons who play college ball. Thank you, on their behalf.

It is just look like to what happened to me but now i am in the chapter of depression struggling with
there is no difference between be perfect and look at the both side when you cross a road .....
Harrington > Favre
impossible to lie with better there is always a Xenius in a bar command a galaxy drink ....
Joey, thanks for being apart of the worst lions team. You really encouraged me to get up and not watch a ton of losers.
Boy do I rekat to poot skef value on it
Hey, be careful here. Don't confuse the general concept of perfection with any specific perfection. I think where you got it wrong, is to pass off the question of, "perfection of of what?" as unimportant. If you dismiss all perfections, then you will never be the "the perfect you", and could loose yourself all over again. When walking down a road with a ditch on both sides, don't be so scared of the one on the right, that you fall into the one on the left. Anti-perfect is going too far.
"When we won everyone liked me again" like he was ever a decent starter in the NFL lmfaooo
what pocket?
He had moments don't hate bruh

I would love to see any QB be put in his situation and succeed, because with the O-Line he had, there's nobody alive that could help the Lions win.
what position do you play?big t
It was not his fault, he was on bad teams
how many likes did he get??
A lot of good points but the constant looking down at the TelePrompTer is annoying.
He was a bust of a draft pic and never took responsibility. It was never his fault.
He was a cry baby and a way overrated QB
The bigger thing though was the person building the lions at the time is largely agreed to be the worst of all time. Yes the Harrington pick was a bust but the entire team lacked talent. 3 straight complete misses with first round WR's is nuts. the 4 in 5 years did pay off though but how was anybody drafting WR's that high for so long?

Ok, put any QB onto the Detroit Lions in 2002 and see how well they do. Nobody was fixing the structure of the Lions with the front office they had, and that O-Line is agreed upon as being one of the worst in NFL history. Put Harrington on the Chiefs, Dolphins or Seahawks and he would've had a decent pro career.
He went to a bad team with bad management and bad coaching. The coaches didn’t believe in him.
@@MartinKrohn8--D I'd hardly call Roy Williams a bust
Go cry about all that money you got from the Detroit Lions!
That is Rude.
Jen Wischmeyer being a horrible quarterback was ruder to Detroit fans
