Nick Saban reminds his ESPN Gameday cohosts one key is needed to recover from a loss.
This distinguishes national champions from everyone else.
After Vanderbilt upset Alabama 40-35 on Saturday, October 5, 2024, Saban’s ESPN co-host asked how a coach helps his team deal with a loss like that.
Saban said, “Everyone suffers one of two pains. Which one will you choose? Will you choose the pain of daily discipline in preparation and practice? Or will you choose the pain of disappointment for the rest of your life?”
Saban’s formula motivated his Alabama teams to win many national championships.
Here’s how Nick’s formula works for the rest of us.
