Quotes from Tim S. Grover

He played a near-perfect game, but to him, not perfect enough.

no trainer or coach or expert can make you good or great or unstoppable if you're not going to do the work, if you're waiting for someone to make it happen for you. It's on you. And that's why I'm telling you all of this, not because I want you to know what I do for my guys, but because I want you to know what you have to do for yourself.

Get comfortable being uncomfortable, or find another place to fail.

Figure out what you do, then do it. And do it better than anyone else.

You already know what you have to do, and you know how to do it. What's stopping you?

Athletic success is the result of knowing what to do, the willingness to do it, and the drive to continually improve at it.

It's time to stop listening to what everyone else says about you, telling you what to do, how to act, how you should feel. Let them judge you by your results, and nothing else; it's none of their business how you get where you're going. If you're relentless, there is no halfway, no could or should or maybe.

From this point, your strategy is to make everyone else get on your level; you're not going down to theirs. You're not competing with anyone else, ever again. They're going to have to compete with you. From now on, the end result is all that matters.

And most people who claim to have killer instinct rarely do, because when you have that kind of power, you don't talk about it. You don't think about it. You just use it.

Mental dominance is what ultimately makes you unstoppable

Time tells you what you didn't accomplish. Focus turns off the clock and directs all your energy to the result.

Being relentless means never being satisfied. It means creating new goals every time you reach your personal best. If you're good, it means you don't stop until you're great. If you're great, it means you fight until you're unstoppable. It means becoming a Cleaner.

Every accomplishment is just a stepping-stone to the next challenge; as soon as they've hit their target, they're already stalking their next conquest.

When all hell breaks loose on the outside, you barely notice; you're calm on the inside because you're ready, prepared, and the best at what you do. You don't tell anyone how you're going to handle the situation, you just handle it. Everyone else is panicking and choking, and you say, 'No problem.' You step on the other guy's throat, and you finish the fight.

When you've been knocked down, confidence gives you the patience to stay down for a minute, until you know how to get up better than you were before. Most people jump right back up because they don't want to look weak and damaged, and then immediately get knocked down again. When you're confident in your ability to recover, you know you'll never be weak or damaged again.

they don't just perform a job, they reinvent it. I own this.

Do you truly want to get even with everyone, or do you really want to get ahead of them? Why stand next to anyone when you can push beyond them? In the game of basketball, you get around someone so you can get past them. Play this game the same way. You go for the win, you don't settle for a tie.

A true Cleaner never tells you what he's doing or what he's planning. You find out after the job is complete

Cleaners understand they don't have to love the work to be successful; they just have to be relentless about achieving it, and everything else in between is a diversion and a distraction from the ultimate prize.

It's not weak to recognize when it's time to shift directions.
