Only Promise Opportunity
Whether you’re leading a workout, a team, or just trying to lead yourself better each day, this matters.
You can’t promise the outcome, but you can promise the opportunity.
This foundational principle, attributed to Nick Saban, the former head coach of Alabama's college football team, who is considered one of the greatest coaches of all time, guided his recruiting efforts, which focused on finding the right people, not just the best players.
He didn’t promise starting positions, playing time, or stardom.
Instead, he promised an environment where the right people would be given access to the tools, coaching, systems, and processes that would provide them with the best opportunity to become the best version of themselves.
He only promised an opportunity because results are never guaranteed.
He understood that consistent effort and a commitment to showing up every day were factors his players could control, ultimately leading to their personal success, as well as the team's overall success.
So, what does it mean for us? What can we take away from this principle?
Promise yourself and others the opportunity to work hard, grow, and consistently show up, rather than focusing on the outcome.
That’s where the real magic happens.
Double down on progress, not perfection.
Even when your opportunities seem limited, focus on what you can control. Show up and give your best effort every time.
Sometimes, the difference between an opportunity and an obstacle is how you choose to see it.
Because the right mindset turns challenges into stepping stones.
