About this item

With coach Nick Saban at the helm, the Crimson Tide has won six of the last twelve national titles. The 2020 championship team showcased Saban's evolution as a leader and further solidified what many long suspected was true: Nick Saban is college football's greatest coach ever.

Leaders of any kind, including coaches and beyond, stand to gain great wisdom and inspiration by learning from his success. In The Leadership Secrets of Nick Saban, senior sports editor and SEC Insider for Alabama Media Group, John Talty, highlights the keys to Saban's winning strategy and offers listeners a blueprint for paving their own paths to success using the esteemed coach's leadership lessons. Through original interviews and never-before-heard anecdotes, Talty charts Saban's journey to college football's mountaintop and reveals some of the magic behind what keeps him atop it. You'll get an inside look at what it's like to work or play for Coach Saban, including the mottos and motivation strategies he uses to inspire his organization.

Competing universities commit tens of millions of dollars to hiring coaches who might unlock a little of Saban's magic for their teams. With this book, you'll learn the key traits and habits that propel Alabama football without having to foot the hefty bill others have.

It is almost ironic that I read this book the very year that Coach Saban retires. He is widely considered the greatest coach of our generation and perhaps of all time. This book tells you much of the why he became what he is in the sport

On how to achieve success. Evolve with the times and still doing things ‘your own way’ Into coaching but not as much into college football so didn’t know much about Saban other than what I saw on TV and this peak behind the curtain was enlightening.

Bought this for my wife who went to Alabama and is something of a Bama football fan. When I gave it to her she was just so-so. After a few days she picked it up and read a few pages. She was hooked. Has recommended it to several friends and is re-reading parts.

I loved Sabin’s process, his leadership style and the way he held everyone accountable for their actions! A great book for young emerging leaders, not just about football! There are a lot of life lessons in the book! Loved the book!,
