While promoting his new book, “W1nning; The Unforgiving Race to Greatness,” Grover shared many stories of his personal and professional life. He recalled, “So when I went to college, I didn’t know what I wanted to do, like everybody else. So kinesiology was just getting started.”

He said his family was not happy with his decision. ” Both my parents come from India. So back in the ’80s, as a son of Indian parents, you got two options for a profession. Doctor being one, a doctor is being the other. That’s it.” This revelation made everyone in the audience laugh, including the host and Grover himself. But he was determined to pursue his career as a fitness trainer.
