Publisher's summary

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.

Phenomenal Book

As a college basketball coach, I love hearing different ways that coaches establish their cultures. There are hundreds of lessons to be learned from what Nick Saban has built at Alabama and every stop along the way.

Great tips for on and off the field

I love opportunities to learn leadership techniques and philosophies from people like Coach Saban. I wish the author had not included micro aggressions against Native Americans though. No need to include a phrase much less twice. And the narrator mispronounced a few things here and there. Otherwise it’s an excellent essay on Saban.
