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?
