Thank you. Thank you. I couldnt disappoint you. Jimmy no, you never disappoint me. Tell me about this explain a little bit in relentless, but congrats on the new book here, winning, first of all you started you didnt start as a trainer or you did well, heres the thing. I did start as trainer so, when i went to college, i didnt know what i wanted to do like everybody else. So, i ended kinesiology was just Getting Started i said, yeah jimmy your parents were fine with this no, they werent. Not at all jimmy no both my parents come from india. Jimmy okay all right so back in the 80s, as a son of indian parents, you had two options for a profession, doctor, being one, and doctor being the other. [ laughter ] thats it. I told them i wanted to train professional athletes. They go, what does that even mean . Jimmy yeah yeah. Jimmy but then you get in there and you have the opportunity, or you just said, im going to train someone from the bulls . I was working at a local health club. I was making 3. 35 an hour back in the 80s. That was my minimum wage i know yours was 7. 50 i did homework on you, now jimmy wow, yeah. 7. 50, yeah. I Pay Attention jimmy i started as soon as i could start working. Thats exactly what i did jimmy yeah you cant be sitting at home you finish school, youre like, all right, you got to do something. So, i took a job at a local health club. Stayed there for about three years. I saw a small article in the newspaper that said, Michael Jordans tired of taking the physical abuse from the detroit pistons. Mmm, lightbulb moment. So, back then, remember, no cellphones, no texting, no nothing. Handwrote 14 letters 15 players on the team did not write to Michael Jordan. Hes the best. Ive never worked with a a professional athlete theres just no way. Hes not no way one person, he found the letter in somebody elses locker and gave it to the athletic trainer and said, hey, find out what this kid is about. Lesson learned the best of the best always are looking to get better. Always looking to get better jimmy wow, this is you training Michael Jordan. Yeah, with the mustache thats the only picture you can find, huh . [ laughter ] jimmy you look good. You look great you look fantastic thats the only picture you could find [ cheers and applause jimmy but i mean, this is at his peak, here with the bulls. What were these training sessions like . This crowd may be a little bit too young to understand this but you had to record a game on a machine called a betamax [ laughter ] anybody know what a betamax is all right. Jimmy well explain what a a betamax is explain what it is. Jimmy wow. On beta. Betamax jimmy you made that investment yes, i had to jimmy wow. Yeah, it was a bad one. Jimmy yeah [ laughter ] jimmy that was the only investment bad one you made yeah yeah, it was bad. It was bad but i would go back home, and wed be the last ones to leave the stadium and so forth because i never worked for the bulls. I actually worked directly for him. So, i would go back home, and i would literally watch the game over again not for the highlights to count his steps jimmy you actually counted how many steps he took on the court . How many steps he took left, how many steps he took right how many he times he landed on one foot, how many he landed on the other foot all these Different Things because i was like, okay, well if one side is being used more than the other, well we cant train him the same way we cant train him the same way. So, i would hand him weights, and one hand would be completely different than the weights on the other the reps on one side would be completely different than the other. Just Different Things. We did stuff for his eyes. We created all kinds of distractions, just stuff that i knew that would work that would just work and he was open to it. He was like open, because he was just like, man, i dont want to do what everybody else is doing. If im doing what everybody else is doing. Im going to be like everybody else jimmy yeah and he just wanted to win. He is like, i am going to win. His obsession with winning. Jimmy yeah he knew there was a price he needed to pay for winning. And he was Everybody Knows you got to pay a price for winning. But most people arent willing to pay it. They may pay it once but literally you got to pay it every single day and the crazy part about that, is the price changes daily just like the stock market goes up and down. The price of winning changes on a daily, daily basis and you got to be willing to pay that price, whatever it is on that day. Jimmy i was so inspired by relentless. I loved it so much do you have people coming up to you and saying like, wow, this book changed my life . I have people come to me all the time and saying the book changed my life. And you know what i do the book didnt change your life you changed your life.

And if you like the book, you get the audio book there is extra stuff and you guys have conversations. And then its those little bonus. But i did that as well and whoever you got to read the audiobook, by the way, was fantastic. His voice is very intimidating its like, wow, really great i loved it can we talk a little bit about kobe bryant . Yes, we can jimmy no mustache with kobe a suit that didnt fit. But back then, maybe not but back then, thats what i wore jimmy yeah what can we say about kobe his style of training . I mean, he is just the definition of winning, man it was unbelievable. You know, when you ask individuals i asked all my clients, including him, i said, listen, describe winning in one word. You know, you get a lot of individuals that tell you, you know, its joyful. Its happiness its fun all these other things the true winners, thats the end of winning thats at the end of winning but when you have to really describe winning, what it really means and what it takes, you know, its unapologetic. Its dirty its nasty if you go through all those things, then you get to the joy part then you get to the then you get to the end but its all the obstacles in between. Its about the grind and knowing youre grinding for a purpose. You know, individuals always say, listen, yeah, grinding. Im grinding im grinding for success im grinding for this. If you take two pieces of object and just grind them together, what happens it turns into dust but when you see people do Ice Sculptures or you see clay or art or, you know, if you have any artistic individuals out here, they grind away the inessentials to form what they need,what that piece is going to look like and thats what kobe did thats what michael did. Thats what dwayne did thats what all these individuals do, is they grind away the inessentials, so they can have the sculpture of what winning looks like for them. And it looks different for each individual as sly as it may be, it is different. Jimmy yeah just a little bit different jimmy i cant even tell you. This is exactly what you read.
