Nick Saban<\/a> has been able to lead Alabama<\/a><\/strong> to as many wins<\/a> as they\u2019ve picked up in his tenure because of how he pushes his program compared to the rest of the country<\/a>. That\u2019s not changing anytime soon either based on one of his latest updates from fall camp<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Saban spoke<\/a> at a press conference<\/a> a week back about getting the most out of his players. He hopes that, over the course of camp, his team takes advantage of the opportunity in front of them and welcomes the challenges that they face on a day-to-day basis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a great opportunity, in these circumstances, for us to be able to persevere through some difficult things. To overcome adversity,\u201d said Saban. \u201cI don\u2019t think you\u2019d be a great competitor if you can\u2019t overcome adversity. Adversity is coming some kind of way. You should enhance the challenge of what\u2019s coming. This is another challenge, working every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saban also wants his guys to take note how what they\u2019re doing and how they\u2019re projecting. He wants them to realize everything that they\u2019re doing needs to be prepped and ready in time for kickoff.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s always important for players to self-assess<\/a> and say, \u2018Okay, I played this many plays today. I would play this many if we had a game. I\u2019m not in good enough condition to sustain the level of effort, toughness, ability to stay focused to do my job for this many plays. And yet I know I\u2019m going to play more later on,’\u201d Saban explained. \u201cEvery practice, every opportunity you get is not something you want to endure in practice. But you want to push yourselves so that you can get to the next level of where you need to be to stay focused for longer and play with more consistency for longer in every game that you play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Part of that self-assessment is also being willing to sacrifice for your teammates. Saban likes to remind them all that they can\u2019t get where they all want to go unless they all take on the habits of winners in their every day lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou do have to make sacrifices. To be able to do the things that we want to try to do? That these guys have goals and aspirations to do? You have to make some sacrifices. You have to invest in yourself in terms of how you sleep, how you rest, how you recover. The habits that you have, how you eat, how you hydrate,\u201d said Saban. \u201cI mean there\u2019s all kinds of things that go into, \u2018What is my level of performance going to be?’\u201d<\/p>\n

Alabama has been the top dog, or at least one of them, for as long as some can remember in Tuscaloosa<\/a>. That\u2019s because of lessons like these that Saban is preaching just as much today as he has in years past when it comes to the Crimson Tide.<\/p>\n
