Summary

In this powerful talk, Tim Grover — elite performance coach to legends like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant — delivers a raw message about pressure, authenticity, and self-belief. He reminds us that most people fear success more than failure, because real achievement brings real pressure. But pressure is a privilege, a test that reveals who we are and who we can become. Stop betting on others. Bet on yourself. And go do the work.
