[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Nick Saban explains one of the biggest threats to continued success.

"Success is not continuous. Just because you're having success doesn't mean you're going to continue to have success."

Past success guarantees nothing. You have to earn it every day.

"When you have complacency and you get satisfied, it creates a blatant disregard for doing the right things."

And here's the danger:
"You start to resent the very things that got you where you were."

You can't resent the process. Success starts with showing up, doing the work, and living the details.

"We pride ourselves in hard work. 'I resent that. I resent the hard work that you're making us do. Why are we running sprints?' Well, we always ran them. This is exactly what we did last year on this day. 'Well, I don't think we need to do that anymore.'"

Complacency is the enemy of excellence.

You combat it with a mindset of growth - never satisfied and always earning.
