COT: It was Christmas morning about a dozen years ago when then-Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart’s cell phone started buzzing.
“Hey Kirby, it’s Nick. I need you to call me back on the home phone in about an hour. If Miss Terry answers, just ask for me. Thanks.” Kirby hung up and looked at the phone puzzled.
But he eventually called Saban back on the home phone. Miss Terry, Saban’s wife, answered.
“Merry Christmas,” she said. Smart asked if he could talk to Saban. Miss Terry told Smart to tell his family Merry Christmas for her. “Nick, honey, Kirby’s on the phone,” Miss Terry said.
Saban picked up the phone. Smart didn’t utter a word. The conversation went something like this:
“Hello?.. What? … You’re kidding. No, you did the right thing. I know it’s Christmas. I don’t like it either. Don’t apologize. … I understand. We’ve got to handle it. We’ll take care of this. … OK, I’ll see you there.”
Even the greatest coach of all time felt like they needed more work, on Christmas. So be dedicated and committed to your craft.
But also understand that such an intense and myopic focus can lead to neglect and losing those that should be closest to you and even your connection to God. Be mindful that your focus does not turn to blinders.
