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.

5 of the biggest insights from Tim Grover…

#1.) The Hidden Power of Brutal Self-Honesty

Kobe Bryant kept a private notebook of self-critiques—every weakness, every flaw, every mistake. The willingness to confront hard truths gave him the mental edge that separates legends from everyone else.

#2.) How Michael Jordan Chose His Trainer

Tim’s career changed forever when Michael Jordan gave him a shot. The story of how he landed MJ—and kept him as a client for 15 years—shows what it really takes to earn the trust of the best.

#3.) Why Mastery Requires Constant Evolution

Going from good to great isn’t the finish line. The greats keep deleting old habits, adding new skills, and reinventing themselves in pursuit of mastery.

#4.) From ‘I’ to ‘We’: The Real Leadership Shift

Jordan and Kobe both had to learn that championships aren’t won by a single star—they’re won when leaders elevate the entire team to play at their level.

#5.) Your Most Valuable Commodity: Heartbeats

Tim says the true measure of wealth isn’t money, it’s how you spend your finite heartbeats. Once they’re gone, they’re gone—so where you invest them matters more than anything.
