My purpose as a coach:

"I think you have a greater chance to lose your team when you're transactional as a leader. Which is the way I was until 1998. In other words, everything was about winning or losing... Negative experiences without teaching kills morale..." - Nick Saban
SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE LEAVE CLUES TO THEIR SUCCESS…
They:
• Show up early
• Pay attention
• Give everything they’ve got
• Empower others
• Do the little things right
• Go above and beyond
• Are selfless
• Lead by example
“Anytime your best player is unselfish, everyone else just gets in line,” Matt Painter
Championship caliber teams have talented players who understand how to be great teammates.

• Giving without expectations
