People may not always remember what you did as an athlete, but they will always remember how you made them feel.
Nick Saban had his players at the University of Alabama live by this conviction in his 17 years as head football coach.

So many took Saban’s message to heart, including three players on the current Crimson Tide team. Jalen Milroe, Tyler Booker, and Kadyn Proctor took time Wednesday to spend with inpatient youth at Children’s Hospital in Birmingham, Ala.

They brought smiles, laughter, joy, inspiration, and encouragement to every room. All three were impactful on the field last season, but they are representing Alabama football in a first-class way in the community. The trio is about family on the field and creating a family vibe with everyone they interact with. Milroe and Booker look to lead Alabama to a College Football Playoff National Championship while Proctor is grateful to be back with the Tide in returning from Iowa via the NCAA transfer portal.
Fall practice begins on Wednesday, July 31, but Milroe, Booker, and Proctor are thankful for their platform to help the community.
