Here are **verified quotes of wisdom from Nick Saban**, the legendary American football coach known for his relentless focus on process, discipline, and leadership:



**1. “Don’t focus on the outcome. Focus on the process.”**
**Meaning:** Success comes from doing the right things consistently — the small, disciplined actions that lead to results — rather than obsessing over wins or recognition.



**2. “Mediocre people don’t like high achievers, and high achievers don’t like mediocre people.”**
**Meaning:** Excellence creates tension; those who aim higher often stand apart because they demand more from themselves and others.



**3. “Becoming a champion is not an easy process. It is done by focusing on what it takes to get there and not on getting there.”**
**Meaning:** True mastery comes from commitment to the journey — repetition, patience, and discipline — not from chasing trophies.



**4. “There are two pains in life. The pain of discipline and the pain of disappointment. If you can handle the pain of discipline, you’ll never have to deal with the pain of disappointment.”**
**Meaning:** Short-term effort prevents long-term regret. Discipline is hard, but neglect is harder in the end.



**5. “You can’t get from A to Z by skipping B.”**
**Meaning:** Growth requires sequence and patience. Every step matters — you can’t rush true progress.



**6. “Success doesn’t come from pie-in-the-sky dreams. It comes from the daily grind — the constant effort to do things better than we did yesterday.”**
**Meaning:** Improvement is incremental. Excellence is built one habit, one moment, one day at a time.



**7. “One thing about success — it doesn’t care who you are. It’s about what you do.”**
**Meaning:** Titles and talk mean nothing; consistent performance is what defines real achievement.



**8. “What it takes to win is simple, but it’s not easy.”**
**Meaning:** The formula — focus, discipline, effort — is known. The challenge lies in maintaining it every day.



Would you like me to add **Ledord** and **Tanke** (as in your usual structure) for a few of these quotes — for example, the one about *“the pain of discipline”* or *“focus on the process”*?
