Michael Jordan. Kobe Bryant. D Wade.
3 killers… but 1 man behind the curtain.
Performance coach & mindset engineer — Tim Grover.
I spent hours studying his stuff…
Here are 7 key lessons for developing killer instinct, dominating the competition & coming out on top.
👇
1 / Be Relentless
Success isn’t as complicated as most people think.
In fact, Tim boils it down to one simple trait: relentlessness.
For some…it’s innate. But for the rest of us, it’s a choice.
But what exactly does it mean to be relentless?
2/ Lose “Good Enough”
Over the years, MJ racked up quite a few championships.
But every off season he had one goal: to get better.
Why?
For winners, “good enough” is not an option.
Being relentless means committing to endless improvement —even when you’re winning.
Put it to practice:
Every time you achieve a goal, schedule a check in.
Ask yourself:
- Where did I fall short?
- What’s my next advantage?
- Where am I phoning it in?
Winners don’t get complacent with small victories…
Identify the next opportunity & pounce on it.
3/ Cooler, Closer, Cleaner
Grover has a simple framework for categorizing competitors:
1. Coolers: Avoid confrontation
2. Closers: Follow you into battle
3. Cleaners: Start the war, then finish it.
Metaphors aside, Cleaner’s win. And they win big.
Which one are you?
