Tim Grover was Michael Jordan's personal trainer for most of his career. He saw everything up close, the workouts, the obsession, the daily routine that never changed regardless of what was happening outside the gym.
He described what Jordan's offseason actually looked like:
"๐ด๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐. ๐ป๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ ๐๐: ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐ . ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐. ๐ต๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐. ๐ฑ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐, ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ . ๐บ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐. ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐. ๐จ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐."
Three workouts a day. Golf break. Repeat.
Then Jordan's father was murdered in 1993. Jordan retired. Came back. Won three more championships.
Grover described what he admired most about all of it:
"๐ป๐๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐'๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐; ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐, ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐. ๐ป๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐."
Michael Jordan made over $100 million from Nike.
Tim Grover the man who was there every single day, says that had nothing to do with it.
The shoe deal was the result.
The three workouts a day were the reason.
