I got the chance to hear Dr Kevin Elko speak yesterday at a conference in Columbia, SC.  He's the sport psychologist for Alabama Football, also does some work with Kirby Smart and Will Muschamp.

The insight he provided into Nick Saban and the mentality of that football team was incredible.   The mantras, the focus and the grit they push had me ready to run through a wall.   I don't know if Syracuse has a sports psychologist... I'm assuming we do, but if we don't, wow...someone needs to call Kevin Elko.  Most inspirational speaker I've ever heard live.  Nobody in the room moved for 2 hours.

What that showed me is Alabama is not only fighting you physically on another level, but mentally on a Jedi level.  Locked in on the goal at hand is an understatement.

I guess his best friend is Chuck Pagano and the book "The Sender" is about Chuck and his battle with cancer.  Best believe I ordered that book as soon as I left the conference today.
