Curt Cignetti just engineered the fastest turnaround in college football history at Indiana.
He learned the "Process" from Saban—but he's taking it to the next level.
Nick Saban:
“To be a good player on your team, you have to affect someone else on the team. You have to cause them to play better by the way you play.”
Great players don’t just do their job.
They raise the standard for everyone around them.
"Mental toughness means you have an ability to sustain regardless of the circumstances that you are in.
You can control your emotions and not make emotional decisions.
You have a mental discipline to stay focused on the things that are going to help you be successful."
Not everyone will be the star, but everyone can choose to put the team first.
Great teams aren’t driven by talent—they’re driven by discipline, accountability, and shared purpose.
That’s how winning cultures are built.
Excuses are the enemy of excellence.
Success belongs to those who push past limits, not to those who hide behind them.
Don't tell me why you can't.
Show me how you will.
John Wooden said, “Talent is God-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.”
The wisdom of John Wooden is second to none.
He is the best of the best.
Here are the 10 best "Words of Wisdom" from the Wizard of Westwood.
'What now' or 'what if'—that's the choice you make every day.
Discipline means doing the hard things when no one’s watching.
Regret comes from taking shortcuts and hoping it’ll be enough.
Discipline is the price of success—regret is the cost of falling short.
“As a coach my responsibility is to teach them how to fish. Give them the fundamentals, teach them how to think and then we they go play. They have to be able to problem solve. It’s having the patience to allow them to think independently and make mistakes,” Kobe Bryant

A big part of a coach’s job is to appropriately pressurize a situation to drive performance without causing any damage.
Think of a car tire. If there’s not enough pressure, things fall flat and progress is hindered. But if there’s too much pressure:
- bad traction
- increased wear
- harsher ride
- reduced handling
- more blowouts
- can’t handle extreme conditions
If coaches can help people master the pressure release valve, they will help them master their performance too.
The health of a team’s culture becomes evident when adversity strikes.
Does adversity cause the team members to reunite and recommit? Or does it cause them to fragment and quit?
Leaders better be proactive, because adversity is always on its way.
“Be someone that somebody wants to emulate. You cannot be a good leader if you do not care about other people because you have to be willing to listen. Feel, felt, found. I know how you feel, I felt that way before, here’s what I found out. You can’t be a good leader if you’re not willing to serve other people,” Nick Saban
Good programs craft better players focusing on skills and strategy.
Great programs are about more than just the game. They forge not only superior athletes but also superior individuals by instilling values and character that extend far beyond the court.
