Nick Saban Nuggets - Illusion of Choice & It Takes What It Takes

If you want to be good, there isn't a choice. If you want to be good, there is one option - TO WORK.

You have to be ready, willing, able, and wanting to WORK.

Whoever works the hardest, and smartest, will be the best.

There are no shortcuts. There is just the work.

How much and how hard are you willing to work? How willing are you to rep the same thing over and over? Your answer determines your ceiling.

Fall in love with the game. Love to play. Love to practice. Love to get better. Love to get pushed by your coaches. Love to compete against the best.

Hate to lose. Learn to learn from your losses and grow from them.

Don't shy away from a challenge. Embrace a challenge. Seek challenges and work daily to make sure that you are ready to meet the challenge.
