Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan is one of the most iconic athletes of all time. Known for his success on the court, Jordan is also known for his unparalleled work ethic off the court.
Wanting to know more about how Jordan became so great, Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams reportedly sought out his coach Tim Grover for a meeting (by Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune).
Selected first overall by the Bears in the 2024 NFL Draft, Williams was a star at USC where he won the 2022 Heisman Trophy. Wanting to replicate that success in the NFL, Williams told the Chicago Tribune about meeting Jordan’s coach.
“I met Tim at a dinner here (in the Chicago area) trying to figure out what did he do, MJ? How did he win? How did he become so dominant? And obviously, things are going to be different for me,” Williams told Wiederer. “Because it’s a different sport. The coaching is different and all these other things. But there’s always a certain thing that you can always relate to your own sport…”

Revealing what he learned from Grover about what made Jordan so great, Williams added: “Obviously, with MJ, it’s his mental toughness that keeps him going. Basically, it comes back to that competitive endurance thing. It’s about not letting yourself get down. And then, you know, there was a time when Tim said there were certain things that MJ didn’t like (about himself).”
Explaining that Jordan was never satisfied, always wanting to be stronger, faster and smarter, Williams said the NBA legend’s coach was able to help him understand what made him so great.
