Saban Clips - A Football Coach Teaches Basketball Work Ethic

Great coaches and players reject mediocrity. 


"The illusion of choice..." 

"Everything starts with discipline."  

Set internal standard of performance.  

Be inclusive in our approach. Don Yaegar writes in Great Teams:

Nick Saban brought The Process to Alabama in 2007. He didn't immediately transform the Crimson Tide as they went 7-6 his first season. But The Process led to a 12-2 season the following year and an undefeated National Championship next. The rest is history. 

Be an "AND" guy not a "BUT" guy... 

"If you're a great player, you want the coach to tell you the truth every day."


Lagniappe (something extra). 5 minutes with Phil Handy. Too many players lack a warmup routine.
