Nick Saban on Resilience

But when you get in the NFL, you got to have resiliency. You got to be able to overcome adversity. There can be no great victories in life unless you can overcome adversity. Everybody talks about it's tough, it's tough, it's tough. Yeah, it's tough, exactly. But you've got to be able to overcome it. And I think some of these things like offensive linemen usually have that mentality, so their hit rate is a lot greater. But to develop quarterbacks, to develop some of these positions is a lot more difficult. And when you come out of college and you're not used to having it tough, difficult circumstances, it's like I said before, you're not going to be the best player on your team when you go to an NFL team. So you got to do the things you need to do to be able to stay focused on the process of what you need to do to become that.
