Everyone Calls Him a Trainer. Jordan & Kobe Knew Better. (Tim Grover Interview)

Michael Jordan. Kobe Bryant. Two of the greatest to ever play the game. But what set them apart wasn’t just physical talent, it was the mental game. The mindset that pushes past pain, silences doubt, and wins long after the body wants to quit. They had an obsession to improve, to compete, and to dominate at the highest level. Where exactly does that come from? Well, one guy who had a lot to do with it is Tim Grover — the world-class performance coach who trained Jordan, Kobe, and a long list of other legends. And here’s why this matters to you as a financial advisor: the mindset that creates champions on the court is the same mindset that creates champions in business. Effort and skill will only take you so far. To break through to that next level, you’ve got to master your mental game. Today, Tim joins the podcast to share some incredible stories from his days training with Jordan and Kobe — and more importantly, how you can take their winning mindset and apply it to your own life and business to go from good, to great, to mastery.
