Tim Grover. A Person You Need To Know About.

I recently stumbled upon a video interview with Michael Jordan’s and Kobe Bryant’s trainer – Tim Grover. I knew both of them were trained by the same person, but I didn’t know who he exactly is. Now I know. And I believe you should know too…

Here are the 3 things that I learned from the video interview and why I immediately purchased his book too(which, oh by the way, is probably one of the best books I have ever read!):

1. There is no such thing as “beast mode” which athletes like Kobe and Jordan “turn on” at specific moments. They are just beasts.
2. Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
3. You have to remove the words “just” and “only” from your dictionary and add “the”. Why? See the difference:

This is just a job.
This is only a job.
No!
This is the job.

This is just a game.
This is only a game.
No!
This is the game.

…

Once that video is again online, I will for sure update the blog post, but in the meantime I highly recommend you buy that book and learn even more.

P.S. Pay special attention to what he defines as “a Cleaner”.
