“The importance of nothing.”
From Nick Saban
You get up every day. You’re entitled to nothing. Nobody owes you nothing.
You could have talent, but if you don’t have discipline, if you don’t execute, you don’t focus, you get nothing. If you’re complacent, and not paying attention to detail, what does that get you? Nothing.
Nothing is acceptable but your best.
Everything is determined by what you do, and you trying to be your best, so that you can build on positive performance. That’s the only thing. There should be nothing else but that, for everybody. That’s what we have to stay focused on. It’s what we need to do. We got rained out today, so we moved inside. We need not accept anything but our best in terms of what we’re doing for preparation.
