Life on the lake with Nick Saban
“Enjoy the Moment” – Coach Nick Saban
Tim Tebow and Marty Smith ‘invited’ themselves to Coach Saban’s lake house. When asked what’s the greatest threat to excellence?
Complacency (is the greatest threat to excellence). Being satisfied with where you are. Complacency creates a blatant disregard for doing what’s right. You can’t do what you feel like doing. You have to choose the things that are going to help you achieve the goals that you have. When you get complacent, you lose respect for winning. – Coach Nick Saban
From ESPN.
