Michael Jordan's Trainer Tim Grover on the 'Flu Game' & More | The Steam Room

[@Chrispd2005]

DRose needed this man 7 years ago maybe 8.

[@madafakasana5546]

DRose would be totally different. He actually go against the fall. While Mj, Kobe, Pip and Dwade whom Tim worked with, go with the fall and let their bodies slide after they hit the floor.

[@forresterpp]

MadaFaka Sana that's not the problem with d rose. He lands on one foot. Grover would have taught him that.

[@travisandrews3909]

Yes he does

[@SSChitownWild100s]

Literally thought that a few minutes into the interview.

[@pentelred]

[@craigslistreply6544]

this dude is so passionate about what he does. I've seen many of his interviews and he always gives detailed answers even if the questions are the same

[@bernardokerr]

True! Very inspirational e such an eloquent speaker. Amazing interview.

[@stipe_ramo]

I highly recommend his book "Relentless". Helped me a lot with the dedication and focus on what really needs to be done.

i actually intend to read it, thanks !

[@nihalshetty1117]

He has trained MJ, Chuck, Kobe and DWade.....so he is a LEGIT trainer.

[@2822MJ]

I think he also trained Hakeem Olajuwon and Scottie Pippen.

[@georgeovia]

And Ron Harper!

Yuup The Beest He Trained MJJaaaaaay 23 & 2 Best Kooobbeeeee

[@tyleru96]

It's only fitting that the greatest player ever also had the greatest trainer ever. Tim Grover's work was just as ground-breaking to the world of athletic training as Jordan's career was to the sport of basketball.

[@seven92023]

The most important part of what he said is that each sport requires specific group of muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, etc. Not many people realize this.

[@wingman-1977]

Man, if I was financially secure, I would hire this guy to be my personal trainer in a heartbeat. His resume speaks for itself. He’s the GOAT of personal trainers

[@stonechen2480]

In Chinese martial arts, there's an old saying: "Before you learn how to hit, learn how to fall." I think that's the same philosophy.

[@smashschool6747]

because chinese people always falling

Tim Grover is a great trainer and some of the stories he accumulated in the past 30 years working with multiple NBA All-Stars are simply amazing. A great expert in his field of work and definitely a man worth listening too.

What's Amazing is that Rodman was his own trainer. 🤔😉

[@jerry85g7]

Facts

[@crabjay7086]

party and nice ladies are the cure-all.... LOL

[@heic1971]

Rodman's trainer was WWE, and endless kamikazes shots.

[@madafakasana5546]

When Dwade and Mamba had trained them, their injuries were at most to minimal. Remember that trademark fall-and-slide that MJ and Pip does? He basically program their bodies to fall and slide. Coz me myself am a trainer, though not in a professional level. It's hard to train someone to instinctively let their body fall and slide.And Tim did that to them. As chuck said right at the end 'wish he could've gotten him early part of his career'.

[@michaeljulien4274]

Tim, I love what you have done with your clients! We the sports fans owe you a debt of gratitude for how you dedicated your life and your love to help some of the best athletes so beloved in our world! I wish you and your family the blessings of good health and peace within your family. Thank you for giving your time to do this interview!

you can see ernie and chuck were amazed by their faces at 5:21. Amazing knowledge on what he does. that's rare.

Does he train boxers too? He is a genius. I cant imagine Jordan did not miss a single game in his career after he trains him!

Wow. Tim Grover is detailed. Much respect for Jordan for working out on game day.

[@sumphoneo]

That was a great interview

[@basketball1652]

''One of my biggest challenges is keeping the ball away from a guy who isn’t supposed to be playing yet. When I get these great players recovering from injuries or surgeries, I set up a detailed plan for their rehab and return, and the last thing they’re going to be allowed to do is walk onto the court. But try telling that to a guy who has never spent five minutes without a ball in his hand. Perfect example: the great Charles Barkley, probably the most athletically gifted individual I’ve ever seen, and a Cleaner in every way. Charles was working with me after knee surgery, and he was not happy when I said he and his postsurgical torn patella had to stay off the court as long as he was in an immobilizer. He looked at me with that death stare and demanded a ball. Then he stood under the basket and dunked ten times off the healthy foot. Dunked. Ten times. One foot. The boot never touched the ground."

[@mskidi]

Forget about everything else, pay attention to this. Jordan did not ask his organization to provide his personal trainer with anything that they didnt provide to anyone else. He would have gotten it, but he didnt, to protect the existing culture of boundaries within the organization.

[@peterschmidt9067]

Tim Grover is the Michael Jordan of Athletic Trainers. Second to none. 'Jump Attack' and 'Relentless' are his two books. I call them the bibles for us athletes. As a former Basketball Pro, I can assure you his stuff is for real. Helped me tremendously. I wish he was around when I was in my prime at Pro Basketball 26 years ago...

All you young Atheletes need to get his book Relentless! This guy Grover was a *GENIUS*! This interview doesn't go into detail about his mental and phycological, preparedness programs he also set up for certain Atheletes Man, those three, Kobe, D-Wade, they were all so fine tuned after spending months with Grover, "They Were Like Machines"! THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE IN TODAY'S ATHELETE COMPARED TO THOSE THAT CAME BEFORE THEM! Everyone now wants the Quick Fix! They want to run faster and jump higher, but not by means of training, buy instead (PED'S)! They want to recover faster. want their athleticism off the charts, jumping over cars and props as if they're using trampolines or something! Yeah, a *SELECT FEW* have the god given ability, but you guys know what most of them are using! And Adam Silver IS LETTING THEM!!!!! He's not policing and being the enforcer David Stern was back in the day when he was Commissioner! To much money in today's league with ALL THESE GUYS being able to do this kind of stuff, Right 🤔. Hidden Secrets, guys using aliases and send others to pick up their stuff... Yeah, I know, *HUSH, THIS ISN'T SUPPOSE TO BE TALKED ABOUT,,, "THE UNWRITTEN RULE OF ANONOMY RIGHT*"! Ask yourself this, "Over the last 5 - 7 years some of the star players have had some pretty Gruesome Injuries"! Paul George Gordon Hayward Young Brother who plays for Indiana as well as some other big names. Look at how all these big guys are missing games due to serious injury. Think it's got anything to do with the "quote on quote, Quick Fix"? In other words hey, there's a Growth Hormone Supplement out there that takes the place of that three or four month workout that guys USE TO DO! I know I'm sounding the alarm, but my point is "This Is The Difference In Today's And Yesterday's Athelete! There was NO SUCH THING AS LOAD MAINTENANCE/MANAGEMENT, back in the day! It was UNHEARD of! I'm not speaking for all of them, but a high percentage of them are taking what they think is the easy way to success and cheating themselves, us, and the sport and could care less.......... Real Talk. Why pay a guy all this money and go through all this aggrevation, putting my body through all this when I can just take a couple of these everyday and perform?

[@rage12345678]

It's crazy how incredible Ernie and Chuck are alone. The four of them are funny together, but this podcast makes it very obvious that Kenny and Shaq really don't contribute much of anything that is important. Especially Shaq.

I already knew that it was shady mess that took place with Michael being sick. So glad that The Last Dance documentary exposed how corrupt people were in Utah in that situation. He could’ve suffered a lot worse from that had he ate more. I think that the restaurant and those 5 individuals need to be looked into lawfully because it was obviously deliberate to do him harm. #CorruptionWillAlwaysComeOut #SoonerOrLater #AndTheyStillLost

[@grega4231]

The pizza hut guy just came out with the story. 2 guys, not 5. The guy who made the pizza who is a huge bulls fan, and his delivery driver. Cigar smoke everywhere, bulls security, bulls teammates. Large thin crust pepperoni. Also, food poisoning can show itself days after you eat, so it's almost impossible to know exactly what it was.

[@darianlynch2687]

Greg A Nah I’m not buying that. I think they would’ve remembered if it was Pizza Hut for one, for two, the same thing actually happened to Kobe when playing a crucial game on the road, and three, that town has been known for shady practices. #TheyGottaDoBetterThanThat

[@AnHebrewChild]

@@grega4231bro- it wasn't a Pizza Hut. It was a local restaurant not a national chain. We know that much for a fact. So your story gets off to a bad start... We KNOW Tim Grover was there. We DON'T KNOW that the "Pizza Hut guy" who you heard this from was even there. He could have been faking the whole thing (spinning a yarn) to get attention. But we know Tim Grover was there.

I wonder if Tim ever used Applied Kinesiology to address any emotional/mental aspects. Not only can AP help to prevent injuries ( if you know how to use energy techniques), but injuries can heal much faster too. Emotional upsets weaken energy flow which can set the body up for injuries. They don't happen just from physical issues.
