Tim Grover's account of the psychology of elite athletic performance — drawing on his work training Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Dwyane Wade.
Cleaner, Closer, Cleaner typology: three levels of competitive drive — Cleaners (Jordan, Kobe) are beyond motivation, entirely self-driven, and operate from a place of cold relentlessness. The psychology of the truly elite: not motivated by external rewards but by an inner compulsion that cannot be satisfied. Unapologetically dark: acknowledging that the qualities that make elite performers extraordinary also make them difficult people.
