Nick Saban's THE PROCESS. Learn its origin, from the Michigan state PhD

About this episode

The episode explores Nick Saban's focus on process over outcome in achieving success.

And embrace this great quote. You don't rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your SYSTEMS. You'll learn that Nick Saban didn't focus on winning the game. He focused on winning each seven second play. The ability to let go of the last play and focus on the next play or the next game is what high achievers do.
