My desktop wallpaper, is this one handsome enough?
I can accept failure, but I can't accept abandonment.
I am never afraid of any opponent, only afraid that the opponent is not strong enough.
------------Michael Jordan
【Important】 Please pay attention to all Jordan fans, please do not blindly compare Jordan with other stars when replying to the post, especially avoid aimless attacks and suppress others. Each star has their own historical status, has their own area of expertise, and not respecting the blind comparison between history and the status quo will only isolate themselves and be undesirable.
(forty-nine) A rookie trainer's self-nomination
Tim Grover was born in Chicago to doctors, and playing basketball became the child's biggest dream. After his own hard work and efforts, he was finally admitted to the University of Illinois majoring in kinesiology, and made a small name during the school period, and fought with the school to the NCAA.
For many American college students, playing in the NCAA means that they may get a stepping stone to the NBA.
But unfortunately, Tim Grover did not end up in the professional basketball world, because he is too short, only 175cm, in addition, his talent is really limited, if he really wants the strength of worm Boggs, it is estimated that the NBA still has a team that will want him.
But the parents are iron rice bowls, just the son is studying a similar major in medicine, the son inherits the father's business, it is not a good life choice. But Grover, who did not achieve the road of basketball, did not die, he was bent on the road of sports to death. In 1985, after graduation, Grover found a fitness club, while working, while continuing to study his training methods, a red heart, two hands ready, ready to act as a helper for those professional athletes at any time, for them to do chores, by the way to mix bowls of rice.
Trainer Grover's usual hobbies are the same as ours, and he is an avid star chaser. Outside of work, he fanatically sought after the Chicago Bulls' number one star, Michael Jordan. Meeting Michael Jordan, if you can get another autograph, it is almost the biggest wish and the happiest thing in his life at that time.
One day in 1989, Grover, a young social and trainer, traveled to Detroit on a business trip and bought a local newspaper to pass the time, at this time Grover was still just a public trainer in the training hall, as long as anyone was willing to pay for a card, anyone could make a call. There is no indication of how much of a turnaround his life will be, and there is still a considerable gap between the ideal life in his mind and being bought out by private people.
This amateur study was also one of the routine operations of his daily life, but unlike in the past, this time, a huge pie was about to hit him on the head. The so-called "there is a house of gold in the book, and there is a beautiful jade in the book." Grover saw a story in the newspaper about the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan. According to the report, his idol Jordan, after being picked up by the muscle men of the pistons, was bent on using force to get justice, so he found a trainer and injured himself, and there was no way to go to heaven and no way out.
At the end of the report, a specially recruited personal trainer is welcome to introduce himself.
Grover's brain was bleeding, and there was a rush of excitement—Michael, let me come.
After a few minutes, Grover, who was slowly clearing his mind, came back to his senses.
Although the pie fell from the sky, this pie was too big to catch.
Although I am full of experience in player training, everything only exists in theory, and the work experience that is most important for finding a job is blank. Don't say that a top player like Michael Jordan is just a random ordinary athlete who will not hesitate to throw his resume in the trash in the first round of review after seeing his professional experience.
I always wanted to have such an opportunity to become a personal trainer, but it turned out to be so big that it was too big to be scored.
But after thinking about it again and again, I decided to try it, such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if it doesn't win, but if you can meet Michael Jordan on both sides, it is a good result.
So Grover, posing as a professional personal trainer, showed his intentions to the Bulls' trainers and team doctors and asked for Jordan's contact information.
Interview in one afternoon.
Rookie trainer Grover wears brand new Converse shoes and goes to Jordan for an interview with a variety of improvised body information and overtime training plans.
The first time Jordan saw Grover, he concluded that he was a charlatan, and then looked at him again to determine that he was a charlatan.
The milk was not dry, he was short, not strong enough, the skin was tender and tender, even if he looked twice, he could not see how many pectoralis muscles he had. Such a top-notch doctor is bragging about how superb his hair growth level is, and the ghost believes it.
Look at the Converse shoes on this kid's feet, and the impression is a little worse.
But Grover, who had done a lot of homework and was determined to fight, first posed a few details of the confrontation between Jordan and the Pistons, and analyzed them one by one, the head was the Tao, and the sentences were reasonable. Finally, he came up with the ultimate trick for this interview, a complete plan for Michael Jordan's physical training.
With these two things plus a mouth, Grover managed to convince Jordan in the 90 minutes he had set. In the end, Jordan made a decision: the trial period was 30 days, and it was not okay to get out. The next time you want to wear Converse shoes, you must also get out.
As a result, rookie trainer Grover became the royal trainer of Chicago's household basketball superstar Michael Jordan.
In 1990, after the Chicago Bulls broke the Detroit Pistons again, physical training became a major issue that Michael Jordan and the entire Chicago Bulls had to face.
Grover was in danger.
Grover believes that Jordan's physical training should be gradual and not rushed. Rapid muscle expansion can cause Michael Jordan to lose speed, bounce, and burst of power, and may also lose the accuracy of the shot. In his plan, Jordan shouldn't gain more than 5 pounds a year, and his optimal weight should be around 215 pounds.
God is right! Not only was he right, but he did it, and since then his fame has risen to fame.
I heard that the boss has private goods! Later, a group of cheeky little brothers such as Jordan's friends Pippen and Harper in the Bulls all ran to Jordan's personal training hall to rub it. Because Jordan also needs to participate in team training, in order not to affect the effectiveness of team training and personal training, Grover put Jordan's physical training in the morning. In this way, not only can you use Jordan's personal trainer for free, but you can also mix with a free nutritious breakfast. There is such a good thing, do you not go, are you still waiting for the brother of the US group takeaway to send it to you? Jordan's personal training hall has been in the market ever since.
The famous "Breakfast Club" was born.
Pippen, Buckley, Olajuwon, Harper, etc. also came to dig corners, and then Kobe Bryant and Wade, together they turned Tim Grover, a jianghu trainer, into the NBA's premier training master.
