Nick Saban explains why you're not entitled to anything in life. "You get up every day, you're entitled to: Nothing." "Nothing is acceptable, but your best." You get what you earn in life. That's it.

“Respect for winning. Respect for what it takes. Respect for the jersey, the name on the front, the name on the back. Don’t get bored with it, the routine, the structure. Nobody can have success by themselves, we’re all dependent upon each other to share in that success,” Brent Venables

Kelvin Sampson said, "The first step on the ladder of success is always failure." Growth starts when you stop avoiding failure - And start learning from it. "Immature people don’t understand that there is going to be failure." Choose to respond. (@PawdSlamaJama)

What a quote from Kirby Smart here. “A lot of these kids want a check. They don’t want physicality. If you have the check and no physicality, you end with nothing. You’re not just getting checks at our place. We’re hitting people.”
