Former @WASHUBears player & alum Caleb Durbin is the first player in @MLB history to play his college career in Division III and win a Gold Glove at third base or any position. The award honors the best defensive player at each position in each league. 🏆 bit.ly/4kgFcnV

Nick Saban explains one of the biggest threats to continued success.
"Success is not continuous. Just because you're having success doesn't mean you're going to continue to have success."
Past success guarantees nothing. You have to earn it every day.
"When you have complacency and you get satisfied, it creates a blatant disregard for doing the right things."
And here's the danger:
"You start to resent the very things that got you where you were."
You can't resent the process. Success starts with showing up, doing the work, and living the details.
"We pride ourselves in hard work. 'I resent that. I resent the hard work that you're making us do. Why are we running sprints?' Well, we always ran them. This is exactly what we did last year on this day. 'Well, I don't think we need to do that anymore.'"
Complacency is the enemy of excellence.
You combat it with a mindset of growth - never satisfied and always earning.

“It's feeling vs. choice. Are you going to do what you feel like doing or are you going to choose to do the things you need to do to accomplish the goals that you have?"
Average players make an effort when they 'feel like it.'
Great players choose to make a relentless effort.
