Why exaggerate the story by saying you didn’t know who the client was when you just randomly showed up to an address….??? Hahahaha. C’mon man.

It’s only fitting that the greatest player ever also had the greatest trainer ever. Tim Grover’s work was just as ground-breaking to the world of athletic training as Jordan’s career was to the sport of basketball.

There’s a rumor Jordan was hungover from drinking a night before the game …how did not anyone get sick on the teams from the flu ?

Because it was food poisoning or stomach flu, not a hangover. Those who said it was a hangover are haters or conspiracy theorists. Now, everyone gets sick from flu when another person has it. There have been many times where people who I have lived with had the flu and I did not get ill. Note, I have never had a flu shot a day in my life. Also, remember everybody went home the next day and were away from each other. Although the flu is bad….it is not the coronavirus.

All you young Atheletes need to get his book Relentless!
This guy Grover was a *GENIUS*!
This interview doesn’t go into detail about his mental and phycological, preparedness programs he also set up for certain Atheletes
Man, those three, Kobe, D-Wade, they were all so fine tuned after spending months with Grover, “They Were Like Machines”!
THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE IN TODAY’S ATHELETE COMPARED TO THOSE THAT CAME BEFORE THEM!
Everyone now wants the Quick Fix! They want to run faster and jump higher, but not by means of training, buy instead (PED’S)!
They want to recover faster. want their athleticism off the charts, jumping over cars and props as if they’re using trampolines or something!
Yeah, a *SELECT FEW* have the god given ability, but you guys know what most of them are using!
And Adam Silver IS LETTING THEM!!!!!
He’s not policing and being the enforcer David Stern was back in the day when he was Commissioner!
To much money in today’s league with ALL THESE GUYS being able to do this kind of stuff, Right 🤔.
Hidden Secrets, guys using aliases and send others to pick up their stuff…
Yeah, I know, *HUSH, THIS ISN’T SUPPOSE TO BE TALKED ABOUT,,, “THE UNWRITTEN RULE OF ANONOMY RIGHT*”!
Ask yourself this, “Over the last 5 – 7 years some of the star players have had some pretty Gruesome Injuries”!
Paul George
Gordon Hayward
Young Brother who plays for Indiana as well as some other big names.
Look at how all these big guys are missing games due to serious injury. Think it’s got anything to do with the “quote on quote, Quick Fix”?
In other words hey, there’s a Growth Hormone Supplement out there that takes the place of that three or four month workout that guys USE TO DO!
I know I’m sounding the alarm, but my point is “This Is The Difference In Today’s And Yesterday’s Athelete!
There was NO SUCH THING AS LOAD MAINTENANCE, back in the day! It was UNHEARD of!
I’m not speaking for all of them, but a high percentage of them are taking what they think is the easy way to success and cheating themselves, us, and the sport and could care less……….
Real Talk.
Why pay a guy all this money and go through all this aggregation, putting my body through all this when I can just take a couple of these everyday and perform?

They didn’t even say anything about the messed up leg dunks that Barkley did…must have not been true.

The most important part of what he said is that each sport requires specific group of muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, etc. Not many people realize this.

DRose needed this man 7 years ago maybe 8.

DRose would be totally different. He actually go against the fall. While Mj, Kobe, Pip and Dwade whom Tim worked with, go with the fall and let their bodies slide after they hit the floor.

In Chinese martial arts, there’s an old saying: “Before you learn how to hit, learn how to fall.” I think that’s the same philosophy.

When Dwade and Mamba had trained them, their injuries were at most to minimal. Remember that trademark fall-and-slide that MJ and Pip does? He basically program their bodies to fall and slide. Coz me myself am a trainer, though not in a professional level. It’s hard to train someone to instinctively let their body fall and slide.And Tim did that to them. As chuck said right at the end ‘wish he could’ve gotten him early part of his career’.

It’s crazy how incredible Ernie and Chuck are alone. The four of them are funny together, but this podcast makes it very obvious that Kenny and Shaq really don’t contribute much of anything that is important. Especially Shaq.
