Wow, very impressive, personally and professionally. I have specialized in the TX of mental issues with teens and young adults. Hats off to Nick Saban. Frankly, while at MSU , I thought Nick was too much of a general…..my bad! He has it down well . Also, very impressed by Brett McCabe……he is very knowledgeable …..BRAVO! Dang, wish I was younger, I’d reach out to offer services….. Super Post! 😊

@davidadamsmusic Рік тому

Have never been a BAMA fan but I respect this coach. I have heard rumors from parents (first hand) of athletes who were recruited by Saban and have heard mixed reviews however. One parent of a highly touted QB said Nick only wants players who see the NFL as their only viable path in life so he can push them well past their comfort zones. A great player with sights on a four year degree and a professional career in something other than football may not make the cut. It’s an interesting question and I see both sides of this because when you play at a place like Alabama there is a high probability you can get drafted if you are a starter. If you play at Northwestern for example that’s a different story. The price of winning championships perhaps? I love that Nick focuses on the process more than the outcome. Great advice that transcends beyond football.

It can be the mortality issue from injury that can trigger depression but typically in my experience at least it’s just the fact you are away from the team and isolated while you rehab your injury. It’s so tough especially being away from that rigorous structure as most guys were in that there entire life.
