Michael Jordan's, Kobe Bryant's confidante reveals secret to their success - realestate.com.au
The man who helped Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant to sporting immortality has revealed their 'most valuable' real estate. Speaking on the sidelines of AREC, Australasia's biggest real estate conference, during his first trip Down Under, Tim Grover shared his experiences working with some of the world's greatest athletes and what made them succeed. 'They realised the most valuable real estate was in between their ears,' Mr Grover said. Michael Jordan (L) and Scottie Pippen (R) of the Chicago Bulls during the height of their fame in the 1990s.

This is your space for you to occupy. Your behaviours, your emotions, your reactions. If you choose those things, you become disciplined.' Mr Grover was Jordan and Bryant's personal trainer and mindset coach for more than 15 years, during their tenures playing for the Chicago Bulls and LA Lakers. The CEO of Attack Athletics, who continues to coach and mentor athletes and business leaders, said their resilience and 'ability to always be in the moment' set them apart from other high performers.

MORE: Buying a home 5 times harder now than in 1980 'They never thought about the previous moment or the next moment,' he said. 'They knew there was a price that needed to be paid for winning and they were willing to pay that price. I asked Kobe; 'What does winning mean to you?' He said; 'Winning is everything'.' It's advice many real estate agents in the audience appreciated after hearing Mr Grover's key note speech. 'You can't have winning without losing,' he said. 'They're partners. 'When you lose, you don't get real low, and when you win, you don't get real high. Don't celebrate for too long. Winning's job is to replace you.' Tim Grover training Michael Jordan in the 1990s during his tenure with the Chicago Bulls. Mr Grover also had some tips for dealing with rejection — in life or in business. 'Here's the thing about rejection. You have to master the art of rejection. When you get rejected you're in no worse spot than you were before.' He explained that it was important to understand why you fell, so that you could get up quicker next time it happened. 'When you get up, don't rush to get up, because if you rush to get up you'll be the exact same individual that fell down.' He had some tough words for people looking to succeed in property, or generally. 'In business, a lot of people think about success, but they never actually do anything about it,' he said.

'When you start doing what's best for you, you're going to upset a lot of people. 'Stop spending time with individuals you don't like, doing things you don't want to do.' Along with Jordan and Bryant, Grover also coached such legendary names in basketball as Scott Pippen, Charles Barkley, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Dwayne Wade. The Australasian Real Estate Conference (AREC) also featured speakers such as former Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, Diary of a CEO podcast founder, Steven Bartlett, and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Mauricio Umansky.
