Discipline is not punishment. Discipline is changing someone’s behavior.
Nick Saban
When you play against good people, that's when you focus your concentration. Your sense of urgency to be disciplined in your execution all become more critical. Sometimes you get away with doing things not quite right against lesser competition, but when you play against real good people that's when it shows up.
Nick Saban
I don't think it's about who you play, I think it's about who you are.
Nick Saban
There is no continuum for success. Focus on the progress, not the results.

Mediocre people hate high achievers, and high achievers hate mediocre people.
Nick Saban
We create a standard for how we want to do things and everybody's got to buy into that standard or you really can't have any team chemistry. Mediocre people don't like high-achievers and high-achievers don't like mediocre people.

Nick Saban
When you invest your time, you make a goal and a decision of something that you want to accomplish. Whether it's make good grades in school, be a good athlete, be a good person, go down and do some community service and help somebody who's in need, whatever it is you choose to do, you're investing your time in that.
Nick Saban
To be a great player, you have to affect the entire unit.
Nick Saban
We have got to use every opportunity to improve individually so we can improve collectively.
Nick Saban
Now, everybody always says there's no 'I' in team, but there is an 'I' in win, because the individuals make the team what it is, and how they think and what they do is important to the team. So when you act like the individual is not important, well, it is damn important who these people are and what they are.
Nick Saban
I'm tired of hearing all this talk from people who don't understand the process of hard work-like little kids in the back seat asking 'Are we there yet?' Get where you're going 1 mile-marker at a time.
Nick Saban
Teaching is the ability to inspire learning.
Nick Saban
I don't think I'm complicated at all. I'm not political, and I'm not trying to be diplomatic. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, and I don't say bad things about people. There is no agenda. There's no trying to fool somebody.
Nick Saban
Every choice, every decision, everything we do everyday, we want to be a champion
Nick Saban
I don't control what people put on dot-com or anything else. So I'm just telling you there's no significance, in my opinion, about this, about me, about any interest that I have in anything other than being the coach here.
