In his page-turning and excellent biography of Alabama head coach Nick Saban, called Saban: The Making of a Coach, author Monte Burke offers these excellent thoughts from Saban:

"Our goal is to help the players become more successful people, to develop thoughts, habits, and priorities to make good decisions.  We lose games because of a lack of good judgment, both on the field and off.  A player who is doing poorly in school can cost us a game.  If you have the right thoughts, habits, and priorities, which in one sense is the definition of character, that determines the choices you make.  We're trying to affect those things.  If they can do those things here, they can do them anywhere.  They can be successful as players, students, and people."
