Relentless: From Good to Great to Unstoppable by Tim S. Grover

3.0

The book delves into the author's experiences in training professional basketball players, emphasizing guidance tailored exclusively for the sports arena. It introduces three player archetypes: Coolers, who focus on teamwork and competition; Closers, who excel under pressure and study opponents; and Cleaners, representing relentless players with enduring careers. Despite a catchy "C" theme, the term "Cleaner" may not vividly convey the intended image. The narrative is rich in motivational talk but lacks specific actions, and it grapples with internal contradictions, notably the assertion that Cleaners are addicted to winning while maintaining control over this addiction. Overall, the book provides valuable insights into player development, making it engaging for sports psychology enthusiasts despite occasional shortcomings in specificity and coherence.
