Motivational Monday…Where Your Feet Are
Coaches…football, basketball, and baseball…have always been a source of inspirational quotes for me. One of my favorite coaches is Nick Saban.
Though he retired as Alabama’s head coach, he continues to educate and inspire through his presence on College GameDay.
This week, he was asked how he kept his players focused on the game, when others talked about upcoming college bowl games, NFL Scouts, and the national championship.
‘Be where your feet are,' is just, 'Look down ... where are you?' This moment, this time, I can control what I do, I can control how I think, and I'm going to try to do that the best I can.
While winning the National Championship or joining the NFL and even winning the Super Bowl are enviable goals, to get there that 20 year old quarterback has to focus on what he can do now…standing there at the line of scrimmage.
The same holds true for us in our personal and business lives.
Decide where you want to be or what you hope to accomplish. Then…look down at your feet. THIS is where you begin…this becomes your focus.
