Took a trip to Huntsville yesterday to watch the Nick Saban Documentary: Game Changer. Very good movie that shows just how driven Coach Saban is to be successful. The movie also shows how he cares about his players off the football field and how the succeed in the game of life. I am going to share 4 of my favorite ideas from the movie.
1. You have all heard about the PROCESS when it comes to the Saban way! It all started in 1998 when his Michigan State team was 4-5 and went into Columbus, Ohio and knocked off then #1 Ohio State. He said thats when he realized he had to get his players to focus on the games one play at a time. Whether you have FAILURE or SUCCESS you must move on to the NEXT play.
2. Coach Saban holds a staff meeting at 7:30 everyday to set the tone for each day. Every member of his organization knows what is expected of them on a daily basis.
3. The morning after the national championship win over Texas Saban held a staff meeting. When he entered that meeting he already had a plan on how to keep the Tide moving forward.
4. Strength Coach Coachran leads the 4th quarter conditioning program. He talked about how the players had to buy in and believe in the process. During the 4th quarter of the near defeats to Tennessee and Auburn he walked the sidelines shouting YOU GOTTA BELIEVE! The players bought into the process 100%
