Tim Grover, legendary trainer and "body architect" for Michael Jordan, Dwayne Wade and Kobe Bryant, explains how being relentless & unstoppable starts with the "cleaner" mindset:
-Taking full ownership.
-Always having a high level of excellence.
-Harnessing your dark side.
-Focusing on results at all costs.
I immediately thought of Michael Jordan as someone who fits the bill even before I read the book and its no coincidence The book muse is Michael Jordan, as Grover worked with him for over 15 years. Jordan is the epitome of the Cleaner—someone whose competitive drive is set to win.
Please watch the Netflix series "The Last Dance," a docuseries chronicling the rise of superstar Michael Jordan and the 1990s Chicago Bulls, with unaired footage from an unforgettable 1997-98 season. It shows you firsthand Jordan's "Cleaner" spirit.
Tim Grover talks about the mentality of the top performers, the unstoppable ones he defines as "Cleaners."
"Cleaners" are the top,
"Closers" are great performers, and
"Coolers" are good performers.
The difference is mostly a mindset.
The Cleaner's attitude is that of the "Buck stops with me." I own it and control it. Whatever you do, you take responsibility to make things happen because you always put yourself in the position to carry the load for everyone else.
Notable Quotes and takeaways
"The end result is all that matters."
Proving yourself repeatedly: you want it for yourself, not for anyone.
The Cleaner is addicted to success and is driven to do whatever it takes to win.
Cleaners get what they want but pay for it by being alone and rarely understood.
Coolers can have an amazing game.
Closers can have an amazing season.
Cleaners have amazing careers.
A Cleaner doesn't get emotional but stays cool and calm, saving all his energies for when it matters.
A Cleaner thinks, "If I'm feeling nervous, how the f**k are they feeling? They have to deal with me.
"Follow your passion" makes no sense, he says; what about "work on your passion" instead, excel at it, demand to become the best at it, and then follow through?
A Cooler is liked, a Closer is respected and a Cleaner is feared.
I like the concept of this book as it shows the different levels of performance people play on. While it is not for everyone, it is a great peek into what it takes to be at that level of performance.
