Every Wednesday, I discuss complex ideas about business, investing, and tech in a simple way. Typically a 5-minute read and free, it's a no-brainer :) Sign up: www.mattallenletter.com

Who’s here after his retirement announcement?🐐🐐🐐

I’m 47 yrs old, never played football in high school, never went to college. But this guy just made me feel like putting my cleats on and get out on the field. Powerful motivational speaker. So glad I clicked on this video.

"Mediocre people don't like high achievers and high achievers don't like mediocre people" 💯💯💯

Love him or hate him. No denying he’s the best college football coach ever.

If everyone could listen to a couple of his talks I believe it could really shape or change or both someone’s future! He makes me see changes I need to make within myself as a 49 yr old female and when I was too scared at 18 to go to nursing school because of gross anatomy. I WISH I COULD HAVE HEARD HIS ANALOGIES AS WELL AS THE WAY HE LIVES WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. I WOULD HAVE LOOKED AT EVERYTHING DIFFERENTLY OR I BELIEVE I WOULD HAVE. I know there have been great speakers before his time but in order to really hear them you must respect them and admire them for their accomplishments and the way they process information as well as the way they live. Do they just talk the talk or do they walk the walk? Obviously, I 💯 know he walks the walk and leads by example! I admire and respect every thing I know about Nick Saban. I admire and respect that he loves the good Lord and keeps that commitment to worship him on the Sabbath, I’m sure it’s throughout the week but I’m speaking about what I know and his prayers are private lol, how much he loves and respects Mrs.Terry, the fact he gives her all the credit for him having the success he has and that he admits missing time with his family when their kids were little but you know he’s always been a great dad, everything he does for others/charity work (Nick’s Kids), etc…the knowledge he has of football and the way he coaches, he’s freaking BRILLIANT! You’ll never hear him take any credit for being a great coach, it’s all about the team. I could go on and on for days. I was an Alabama fan before I was a Nick Saban fan but if he went to another team tomorrow I’ll still be the GA girl that’s always been a Bama fan but I’ll also be a Saban fan! He’s a phenomenal human being. The sacrifices he was willing to make when his Dad suddenly passed broke my heart. You just know he’s special! If you’re an unmotivated young man or woman or just undecided in life please go listen to the few documentaries on him and if it doesn’t motivate you to do something with your life I would probably seek professional help 😅! Even if you’re old like me, I’m almost 50 but it’s never too late to make a positive change. Will I need to listen to him many times as soon as morning… ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY but I’m going to listen every day until I can have the positive mindset on my own. Death may come before that but I’m going to try!! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!! ❤❤❤❤

Take care of your people!!!

That game was the best game my little school ever had and we have won a National Championship for our division. Thank you Nick Saban for all you have done for college football. ❤

NICK SABAN IS DA MAN ! ROLL TIDE !

I remember watching this several years ago. I was really into listening to his speeches because Paul Finebaum had his team psychologist, Kevin Elko, on his show every week. Thanks for uploading.

I have this video saved on my phone and watch it once every 6 months or so to re-set my mind! Absolute gems he gives out here!

As an LSU fan, I appreciate the hell out of you Saint Nick. Even though you hand us a loss whenever we play you guys, I respect and admire what you do.

Nick WV is proud of you

15:27 holy cow Nick Saban is helping me with music education! What a master educator. 😮

Coach Saban is a great leader and speaker!!!

Proud auburn man and auburn graduate and I see coach saban in such high regard. I didn’t see this when I was at auburn due to blind team spirit, but I have immense respect for coach saban because he is a man of wisdom, integrity, and values.

IF you could have lunch and speak with any living person, who would it be? My answer - Nick Saban, hands down! He is so smart, so talented, and really knows how to explain how he operates. One of a kind person and ultimate winner

“He was ready to fight *me*... So I thought I thought I might take a *different* approach.” 😂 The timing on that joke was on a professional comic’s level lmao

Excellent speech! I come back and watch this once every few months.

I think I now have an understanding of why Coach Saban is so successful.

love this guy

You gotta love learning from the greats!

Thank you for reuploading this video

Excellent Presentation and Great Principles to Live By in any Career. Thank you

So many nuggets of wisdom for business owners and entrepreneurs in this one. Love this and thanks for posting, Max!

IT IS AWESOMELY REAL AND TRUE!

I believe you’re the best over all and complete person and coach! Father Tony was our Pastor at All Saints in Dallas. He believes also! God bless and keep you always!

That's a really inspiring and thoughtful talk. I'm genuinely inspired to find the most in myself. Thanks Coach Saban.

Love you Coach❤❤❤

Thanks for what you do , Coach "

Intentional Success

Great speech

Great speech that everyone in Sports or Business or more so in Life should watch and listen to. Nick Saban speaks the truth and things to do and have to be done if you wish to succeed in anything and everything. Love you Coach. You're the man and the best. Kudos, love and much admiration.

Wow, I'm so pumped by this speech! I I feel like I can sell a hundred cars next month, even though I'm not a car salesman.

Thank you for posting this

Very sound principles

The Best Coach In College Football.

Saban is smart. This stuff really works!

Keep up the good work ....god bless u Rolltide

Excellent

Awesomeness. Thanks for making these great goals for a good life available.

Nick Saban is one of my favorite speakers ,he is right up there with TD Jakes because they make it simple so no matter who you are or what you do, you will walk away with more wisdom by listening to them and implementing what they say. How you know you’ve listened to someone great is , do they know defeat, and did they get up and continue to win, if that answer is yes then you need to listen to them. I love listening to Nick Saban he is simply one of the best!

Damn he's so good!!!

Wisdoms !!!

Man this is surprisingly good

Great advice to improve personal leadership skills, mindset to be successful in any kinds in life !!!,,, thanks. Nick Saban,, Sir. You are the best !!

thank you

Without a doubt the man is right. If you want something you have to have a vision for making it happen. And within that vision there needs to be a good plan for making that happen. And you have to work that plan & NOT deviate from that plan until the vision becomes a reality. Unless, of course, you realize there is some fault in the plan & you have to make a new plan. BUT you cannot accomplish a goal if you do not have a goal in the first place. And then accomplishing the goal you not only have to totally focus on achieving said goal but make sure not to fall into certain holes that will prevent you from achieving the goal either.

from 4:56 to 5:25, pure brilliance

Great job couch rtr

Even though I’m a Florida Gators fan, I have to admit Nick Saban is the GOAT of all college football coaches. Fan of Nick Saban or not we all have to respect him

i worked for a company that implemented a assembly line/team concept program after we had been doing our jobs individually commission based successfully for years. I hated it, it seamed to cater to a few on top. So i left and started my own gig and have never been happier. Some people need to work in teams and have people giving them orders and telling them what to do.That company is making more money now than ever with that team thing. It is a good way to weed out people who are not team players, they have lost several employees that were there for years. They now have yes men working there that do small parts of the process that before was done by an individual. I agree with Saban, and these principles work for freelancers/self employed people also. Not everyone likes being part of a team where there are favorites!

I felt he was personally talking to me I need to grind

I agree with what he preaches and also have practice. Those points of Motivation, discipline and Team focus on winning, Should be in the all players Contract . Disrespect & violaton of Contract conditions is an agreement, and some players act like they an do as they please.

He one few coaches at Ohio State I respect. Skip Wilson

👍👍👍

The speech should be, “If you pay people enough they will join your team.”

Does anyone know when and where this talk was given?

Someone should have fixed his mic.

TELL THEM COACH SABAN. LOOK WHAT U HAVE WITH ALABAMA. GREAT AT EVERYTHING!!!

What is the name of the book he mentioned...about positive attitude?

Golly, how does Mr. Saban find time to go give speeches, in between photo shoots for Aflac? Amazing.

Jesus does love you!

Cyclone Hart vs. Vito Antuofermo maybe?

You have a right to fail yourself but not the right to fail that causes everyone else around you to fail. This reminds me so much of when Stottie Pippen decided not to go into the game in the last seconds when Phil Jackson drew up a plan for Toni Kukoc instead for him to take the last shot in a playoff game. So selfish of Stottie and he let his team down. Stottie should have realized not going into the game was not only letting himself down, but his team down and it's not about him, but about the team.

Some people will watch this thinking they might coach like Saban......That will not work......Saban's success is not in his leadership skills. It's in the fact that he knows more about college football than anyone alive. He can look at something and see it in 30 different ways whereas the average coach might see it in 5 different ways

Motivating your players is a matter of perspective there are some people that motivate and teach individuals how to deal with life's everyday problems and situations that motivate people better than you. Many leaders and talented professionals from all walks of life motivate people to face all types of stressful situations and challenges that are a part of everyone's lives and require attention and many of these motivational speakers are not football coaches. I have come in contact with many people in my life that were very good at motivating people. Getting back to Nick Saban he is a great coach and motivator, but I can think of a couple of football coaches that can also do the same things Bud Wilkenson's team was selected 6 times as a national champion in football Barry Switzer team was selected for 5 national championships, but those two coaches only claimed 3 national championships. They only claimed 3 that were unanimous or consensus unlike 2 coaches at Alabama Paul Bryan and Frank Thomas claim titles with only 2 or 3 or 1 selector Oklahoma and Nebraska both had back to back national titles. Nick Saban these are the facts you can go to Wikipedia to check and the problem I have with you id you could practice on your humility and how you handled Burton was pitiful we will be seeing you soon With Texas go Tennessee Boomer Sonner!!!

22:47 One of the biggest problems he has to deal with is the coaching staff wanting to be buddies with the players and players end up losing respect for their coach. Before the Ole Miss game 2 days ago, they showed a video of Lane Kiffin and his quarterback out playing golf together. Lane said "yeah I guess you could call us friends. He's just a really easy guy to talk to." Lane Kiffin is best buds with his quarterback 24 years younger than him. Saban fired Kiffin. Saban just beat Kiffin in a huge way. Maybe one day Kiffin will grow up and actually listen to the things he saw while working for Saban.

3:00 4:30 important

yikes, the Rolando McClain story is great but doesn't reveal all of the chaos involved with that guy.

Replay !!!!

11:22 14:18

JESUS!

vito antuofermo fight vs eugene hart

So insulting to Nick, to all the people looking down at their phones, it doesn't matter who's speaking

Im from Monroe 😂

When the chips are down, can you survive?

Reap what you sow? Really? Seriously? Does the name OJ ring a bell?

He is q mentor and football was his vehicle. Other coaches tried to fake and copy.

Robert Frost

Wrong!!!!! He is not one of the best college football coaches he is the greatest college football coach to ever live!!!!! Get it right!!!

Yg6 you a. Ike I ao

The loose mandolin concretely stuff because instrument provisionally observe below a equable fiber. lush, empty purpose

Nick backstabbed Jalen Hurts

Does leadership require you to badger the referees when you are not getting your way? To get everthing reviewed because the referees are sissies and wouldnt go against Sabin? Or get multiple infractions overlooked in every game as the referees dont want to be called out by Sabin? Alabama is the dirtiest gangsterest team in College Football. Go back and look at every play at the Texas game and watch the facemask calls and more importantly the non calls. This is coached. They are not individual actions. Almost every single play hands are up around the helmet.... Its a dirty culture as they know for every time they do it that it will be missed or overlooked 70 % of the time. Analytics has a dirty side and Alabama is the King. Screw Sabin. This is a modern version of Gangster Miami.

Modern day slave master, no wonder he doesn’t refer to his players by name and only number..

What’s sad is Rolando McClain went on to assault someone with a gun being involved once he was an NFL player. Lost his job, money, and respect. The thing is you can’t take the thug out of a thug. Who cares what someone calls you or says about you when you are worth 30 million dollars who cares ?!?!? Thugs care that’s who. What a waste of talent.

Pay them and they will come

The momentous quiver uniquely sigh because hall interstingly agree save a low respect. billowy, warlike coke

The Ultimate Cheater. Must be easy when Mark Emmert is your butt buddy.

The dirtiest and corrupt program in America.

The quirky korean isely collect because geometry unfortunately recognise from a questionable moat. windy, elderly body

So it's worth having dementia in 30 years to have a championship football team? Nope. That's called human abuse.
