Another point, and I'll try not to blow this thread up (this stuff really is just great to me) is what Saban said about failure.
I had to give out some awards at a basketball banquet the other day and they had a speaker there, Alabama State's volleyball coach Penny Lucas-White, and her entire theme was "how can you be your best if you can't fail?" She went around the room asking all the players and coaches and parents what they would do if they KNEW they could never fail.
Saban: "How do you learn to deal with failings if you never had any."
