Description: Relentless by Tim S. Grover, Shari Wenk Synopsis coming soon....... FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Legendary trainer Tim Grover uses his experience with the worlds top athletes to drill down into the killer instinct that separates the good from the great, showing you how to tap into the dark side of competitive intensity in order to win—regardless of the circumstance or cost.For more than two decades, legendary trainer Tim Grover has taken the greats—Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, and hundreds of relentless competitors in sports, business, and every walk of life—and made them greater. Now, for the first time ever, he reveals what it takes to achieve total mental and physical dominance, showing you how to be relentless and achieve whatever you desire. Direct, blunt, and brutally honest, Grover breaks down what it takes to be unstoppable: you keep going when everyone else is giving up, you thrive under pressure, you never let your emotions make you weak. In "The Relentless 13," he details the essential traits shared by the most intense competitors and achievers in sports, business, and all walks of life. Relentless shows you how to trust your instincts and get in the Zone; how to control and adapt to any situation; how to find your opponents weakness and attack. Grover gives you the same advice he gives his world-class clients—"dont think"—and shows you that anything is possible. Packed with previously untold stories and unparalleled insight into the psyches of the most successful and accomplished athletes of our time, Relentless shows you how even the best get better...and how you can too.

Excerpt from Book Relentless #1. WHEN YOURE A CLEANER . . . . . . You keep pushing yourself harder when everyone else has had enough. When you work with highly successful, high-profile people, theres a saying you live by or you wont be in that world for long: those who talk dont know, and those who know dont talk. I dont talk. My clients have enough exposure in their lives; they have to know that what we do in their private training belongs to them. If I dont have their complete trust, nothing gets done. For that reason, little has ever been revealed about how I train my players, what goes on in the gym and everywhere else we work, and how we get the results that make the best even better. But if youre willing to take this journey into the world of intense competition and achievement, Im willing to talk about what Ive learned from working with the greats for more than two decades, how I work with my athletes and how Ive come to know what I know, what theyve taught me and what I teach them. I want you to be able to take all of this and use it as a framework for yourself to achieve whatever you desire. You dont have to worry about training like a professional athlete--thats a full-time job, and anyone who says you can "train like a pro" by reading a book is just trying to sell you a book. The book might be a good start, but lets be honest: you train like a pro by committing to work at the highest level of intensity, every moment, in everything you do, constantly working on your body, your skills, your preparation, leaving no detail to chance. Its not something you can do for thirty minutes in the morning, then head to work or school or wherever your other obligations take you. But you can take an elite athletes mentality and use it to succeed at whatever you do. Absolutely everything in this book can be applied equally to athletics or business or school or anything else you do in the world. Because no matter what you want for yourself, whether your ambitions take you to the gym or the office or anywhere else you want to be, your ultimate power source will come from the neck up, not the neck down. In sports, we spend so much time on the physical component--training, working, pushing the human body to be faster and stronger and more resilient than most people ever thought possible. And then eventually, we get around to paying some peripheral attention to mental conditioning. Thats completely backward. Excellence isnt only about hitting the gym and working up a sweat; thats the smallest part of what you have to do. Physical ability can only take you so far. The fact is, you cant train your body--or excel at anything--before you train your mind. You cant commit to excellence until your mind is ready to take you there. Teach the mind to train the body. Physical dominance can make you great. Mental dominance is what ultimately makes you unstoppable. You will never have a more powerful training tool than this: get your mind strong, so your body can follow. The true measure of an individual is determined by what you cant measure--the intangibles. Anyone can measure weight, height, physical strength, speed . . . but you cant measure commitment, persistence, or the instinctive power of the muscle in your chest, your heart. Thats where your true works begins: understanding what you want to achieve and knowing what youre willing to endure to get it. I want guys who want to work as hard as I do. Im going to be relentless in my own pursuit of excellence, and I expect you to do the same. Its my name on the work we do together, and its your name on the jersey. That better mean as much to you as it does to me. And if you have to ask whether you can handle it, you cant. When I train my athletes, its a dictatorship with three rules: show up, work hard, and listen. If you can do those three things, I can help you. If you cant, we have no use for each other. I will bust my ass for you every way possible, but I expect you to do the same for yourself. Im not going to work harder than you do for your benefit. Show me you want it, and Ill give it to you. But we have to do this my way. No disrespect to your team trainer or dad or massage therapist, but if they knew how to handle the details of your situation, or if you knew how to do it yourself, you wouldnt be here. What were going to do together is maybe 20 percent physical, and the rest is mental. You already have the talent; my job is to show you what you can do with all that talent so you can bust out of that cage holding you back. You may not like what I tell you, but if you stay with it, youll see the rewards. Without a doubt, Ive had plenty of players who arent worth $2 million getting paid ten times that because theyre in my program, they stick with it, and that means something to the teams. If youre working with me, they know youre serious. If youre a professional, that means youre managing your career and were going to approach it that way. Your body is a business you have to take care of, or the business goes away, and if you forget that, believe me, I will remind you. Im not here to draft on your fame or your success. I expect us both to commit to hard work and dedication, and hopefully the result will be a professional relationship we can both be proud of. I see so many trainers who want to be friends with the players, trying to keep them happy for fear theyll lose a big-name client, going easy when the players say, "Enough." Believe me when I say this: I dont need to be your friend. You already have plenty of friends to tell you how great you are. What you and I do together is professional, not personal. If we end up being friends, thats great, but its more important to me that we take care of your career and your future. Some players like to be involved in planning what our work will entail; others are content to let me handle the details. Kobe wants to be part of figuring out what we have to do together; Michael was the same. Kobe will come to me and say something like, "Listen, when I jump off with my left leg Im getting a pain in my knee." So Ill go back and retrace his steps: When did you start feeling it, what part of the game? Then Ill go to the video and replay everything he did, looking for something that might have affected that knee. Or was it something we did together working out? And Ill go through all the exercises to see if we might have aggravated something. I can say to him, "Remember in the Utah game, during this play, when this and that happened . . . ?" And hell know what Im talking about, well review the situation, until I can eventually say to him with some certainty, "I think your knee problem might have started there, and now we need to do this and that to fix it." Total collaboration. So Im happy to listen to your input and ideas, but once youre working with me, you agree to let me do what I do. No options. Most people have too many options, and they rarely choose the tougher one. Do you want to work out for ninety minutes or thirty minutes? Most people take the thirty minutes. Here, try this, but if its too hard, we can make it easier. And they automatically make it easier. So Im not giving you options. Nothing for you to think about. Let me do all the thinking for both of us. Im making your life easy by doing all the homework and giving you the answers to the test. Just show up, work hard, and listen. Thats your part of the deal. Do the work. Do. The. Work. Every day, you have to do something you dont want to do. Every day. Challenge yourself to be uncomfortable, push past the apathy and laziness and fear. Otherwise, the next day youre going to have two things you dont want to do, then three and four and five, and pretty soon, you cant even get back to the first thing. And then all you can do is beat yourself up for the mess youve created, and now youve got a mental barrier to go along with the physical barriers. For my guys, Im the thing they dont want to do. For you, maybe its something at the office or at home or at the gym. Either way, you have to do those things or you cant improve, you cant be the best, and you sure as hell cant call yourself relentless. Cleaners do the hardest things first, just to show theres no task too big. They might not be happy about it, they dont ever love it, but theyre always thinking about the destination, not the bumpy road that takes them there. They do whatever they have to because they know its necessary, and you usually dont have to tell them twice. More likely, while everyone else is slumped over in complete exhaustion, theyll want to do it all again, and then theyll say the second time was the best. Of course, most highly successful people arent accustomed to being told what to do. Yes, I know the team staff doesnt make you do this, thats the problem; they cant throw your ass out when you dont show up or you refuse to do the work. I can. The hot tubs, the cold tubs, the therapies, the late nights . . . once were working together, its not up to you. Cooperation is mandatory. If you big-time someone on my staff and refuse to get in that cold tub, hell tell me so I can tell you, "Get in the fucking tub."
