“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

“You have to brainwash your players.”
Boy, that’s encouraging. If Ray had just brainwashed his players, they could have beaten Florida in 1995.
Saban’s success has nothing to do with the University of Alabama spending oodles of money to give him everything he wants, his ability to recruit any player he wants regardless of their history, and his roster management tactics that certainly look more like that of an NFL general manager than a college coach/educator.

Dr. Rosen is correct. The key to optimal athletic performance is focusing on the task at hand and not the ultimate outcome. Professional golfers call it “staying in the present.”
LikeLike
That’s very true. Tiger at his height was a master of it. The Golden Bear was quite possibly the best ever (regardless of sport) at staying in the moment. Joe Montana or Michael Jordan was likely the best in a team sport at it. None of them needed a “wizard” to remind them. It was a gift …

Michael Jordan may have not needed his own personal wizard, but his championship-winning Bulls team had one of the best wizards of all time in Phil Jackson.

Man, I’ve never seen any athlete who was more fun to watch. Ever. Some of it is nostalgia, I admit, because my memories of Jordan are tied to some of my best memories of times spent with my dad and brother. I can remember I was 9-years old (my brother was seven) and my dad sat us down to watch Jordan for the first time. It was the first game of what would be his second Finals Championship – against Portland. I can remember my dad saying, “I want you boys to watch number twenty-three. He’s the best at what he does.”
I can remember my dad saying, “It’s a huge mistake,” when Jordan came back from his first retirement. “He’ll never be what he was.” At first, when he returned in 1995, it seemed like he might not ever repeat the magic he had before. Then we watched him win his fourth Finals on Father’s Day 1996. It was the first NBA game he’d played on Father’s day, since his dad had been murdered nearly three years prior. When asked about his dad after the game, Jordan was crying. My dad was crying – one of the only times I’ve seen him cry. Incredible memories.

This explains the lack of response our players got from the Alabama team when we tried to “get into their heads” when they came on the field. Saban has somehow managed to turn his players into cyborgs. They don’t have time for your weak stuff, they are only interested in the next play. I’ll take a load of that to replace all the fake juice we have had over the years.
