Relentless - Tim Grover pt1

Mindset Toolkit Podcast

Topics: Relentless outlines the principles that Grover used to coach and bring about not only #1 champions in the sport, but legends. Chapter 1 - A cleaner doesn’t celebrate a championship win. A cleaner will put in more work once he has won, because he knows that winning is just the start. - Being unstoppable means, you place no limits on yourself. - You already know what you have to do get to the top. Almost everybody knows how to achieve a goal. Very few take action - You do whatever it takes to get what you want, you have an insatiable desire to always achieve more - Everything you need to be great, is already inside you. It’s just waiting for you to let go - Five simple steps: Decide, Commit, Act, Succeed & Repeat - Success isn't the same as talent, there are countless people out there that are talented and unsuccessful - Truly relentless people have a dark side. Everybody has a dark side and if you harness it properly, it will drive you. Chapter 2 - When a championship is on the line and you’re a cleaner, you don’t let anybody else lessen the load and you don’t hope for the best. You put yourself where you need to be and make every possible move, doing whatever it takes for victory. - If you want to be great, you deliver what’s expected. If you want to be a legend you deliver the unthinkable - It's not about talent, brains or resources. It’s about doing whatever it takes to get the results - A cleaner’s attitude is summed up in 3 words: I own this - They don’t just perform a job, they re-invent it, going the extra mile that nobody thought existed - Wins are just stepping stones to the next win. - They are called cleaners because they take responsibility for everything. When things don’t go right, they don't blame others. - They break the rules when necessary, they are are calm and cool, collected. They get the job done. Not overly emotional. - Cleaners only sees situations and solutions - Failure is never an option, he won’t stop till he succeeds no matter how long it takes. They’ll die trying - Cleaners have a dark side, that gets them to where they want. It’s a lonely place that allows them to sacrifice and endure to get to the top. - The cleaner is addicted to the rush of success. He will alter his whole life to get it, and it will never be enough. - It’s all about the sacrifices they make to get the end result, because the result is all that matters - It’s important to know that it’s impossible to be a cleaner at everything, It’s the opportunity cost of life. If you’re a cleaner at one thing, you’ll give up anything else. - Success doesn’t have a definition, because the bar keeps getting raised over the last one - Coolers will have an amazing game, closers will have an amazing season. Cleaners will have an amazing life The 13 traits of a cleaner: - Push yourself harder when everyone else has had enough - You get into the zone, shut everything else out and control the uncontrollable - Know exactly who you are - Have a dark side that refused to be taught to be good - Not intimidated by pressure, you thrive on it - In an emergency, people look for you - You don’t compete with anyone, you find your opponent’s weakness and attack - You make decisions, not suggestions. You know the answer while everyone else is still asking questions - You don’t love the work, you’re addicted to the results - You’d rather be feared than liked - You trust very few people - You don’t recognize failure, there’s more than one way to get what you want - You don’t celebrate your achievements because you always want more Chapter 3 - Trust the voice inside and know you can truly achieve what you believe you can - Those who talk don’t know and those who know, don’t talk - You can't train the body for excellence, until you get the mind trained. You’ll never become relentless until your mind is relentless - Commitment, persistence & heart are immeasurable but are the true drivers of greatness - Push past the apathy of laziness and fear today, because otherwise, this will build up day after day and you won’t believe in yourself. Do the work - Crave the results so intensely that the work is irrelevant - You have to be able to finish stronger than you started, this is where the mental toughness kicks in, because the mind will quit first. - There are no secrets or shortcuts to success. It’s simple: figure out where you are, determine where you want to go, create the list of actions needed to get there and finally - do the work. It’s simple, yet not many people do the hard work. - Life is uncomfortable, you can either be uncomfortable because of hard work, rather than from being lazy Chapter 4 - A cooler will get pumped up by the team, the closer will pump up the team, the cleaner will stay quiet, dark, alone before the game and let it out on the field - When in the zone, the only emotion that exists is a quiet cool anger that simmers. Never openly enraged. Like the quiet storm, leave the drama and chaos to others. - The zone comes from a place of darkness, a place that lights up your inner cold anger. - Thinking kicks you out of the zone, you can only be doing when you’re in the zone. It’s you alone doing what you do. - Emotions make you weak. It’s a fast way to get out of the zone. Fear puts up walls to protect yourself and you can’t go forward because of the mental barrier. Rage makes you lash out and you become irrational and impulse. Jealousy shifts your attention to something other than what you’re supposed to be doing - Controlled anger is the only emotion that’s helpful: you can restrain it and turn it into energy. It’s never allowed to become destructive or out of control. It’s a fine line before you become emotional and lose focus - You have to practice the same way you would perform in a game situation, this creates consistency in your body and mind. Chapter 5 - A cooler thinks about what he’s supposed to - A closer thinks, analyze & acts - A cleaner doesn’t think - he just knows - We’re all born relentless, and then taught to relent - If you’re good or great at what you do? Can you be the best? - We all have self doubts and turned something simple into something complex. - Believe in yourself and become relentless in becoming the best - Taming people teaches them to be lesser than they could be - This chapter is about trusting your innate instincts about a situation, assuming that you have built up enough knowledge and skill in training to be able to rely on it. - You’re an expert, both intellectually and physically. And after this point, you can trust your instincts, because you have developed this instinct. - You have to train and learn over and over until they become instinct and your body & mind knows what to do reflexively. The actions are automatic - A cleaner acts in the moment, what separates them from the closer/cooler is that they react. You have to trust your instincts and not rely on your opponent to set the tone of the game. - Instinct & talent without technique makes you reckless - It’s a continual process of learning and improving upon what you’ve already learned - Lots of people start things, but very few finish them, this is because they lose trust in their belief that they can finish the task at hand.
