It is the relentless pursuit of excellence, the drive to never settle, the determination to be better even after being the best, and most importantly to always keep on evolving. You can see this spirit of Championship in artists, sports persons, business persons \u2013 anyone who is considered the \u2018Greatest of All Time\u2019 (GOAT) in their field. Their stories inspire us to follow their success mantra. Such is a story we have for you today. A story that will compel you to look at your school success strategy in a different light.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>The Story of the GOAT Basketball Player and His Secret Trainer<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">You must have heard the name Michael Jordan \u2013 the legendary basketball player. His name has become a metaphor for being the best of the best \u201cThe Michael Jordan of\u2026.\u201d But have you heard the name Tim Grover?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Tim Grover is an Indian-American renowned for training some of the most elite basketball players in the world. His first client was Michael Jordan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">As a young trainer, he wrote 14 different letters with a personalised training plan for 14 players of the Chicago Bulls Basketball Team. There are 15 players on a basketball team. The only player he didn\u2019t write to was the only player who gave his plan a chance. It was Michael Jordan!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10801 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.univariety.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/b1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"497\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much like Grover himself, you would think. \u201cWhy would an established champion like Michael Jordan need a new training plan?\u201d He was already the best among the bests. The answer is simple. As Grover himself puts it, \u201cThe greats never stop evolving.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>The Greats Never Stop Evolving \u2013 Unique School Success Stories\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some stories are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some to be chewed and digested.

They have evolved with time and adopted new ways to build and showcase their school&#8217;s success. Let\u2019s see a few examples &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Dhirubhai Ambani International School \u2013 Bringing its Diasporic Alumni Home<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Dhirubhai Ambani International School is one of India\u2019s most prestigious and progressive schools. Recently, they partnered with us to build a thriving Alumni Network through our Alumni Impact Program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Why?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They have extremely successful Alumni who have become influencers, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders in various fields. Their Alumni are not only equipped to guide their current student generation but also contribute back to school in meaningful ways. They realised that these Alumni Success Stories are a credit to their school\u2019s branding and legacy. Therefore, As they approach their 20<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> anniversary, bringing their Alumni back to school and celebrating their successes has become their primary goal.<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10802 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.univariety.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/6-\u2013-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"493\" \/><b><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Ryan International \u2013 Holistic and Experiential Learning through Alumni Guidance\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Many schools market themselves using words like Holistic Education &amp; Experiential Learning. But for a parent, these phrases don\u2019t mean much more than a fancy word. The vague understanding that parents have is that the school will focus on extracurriculars alongside academics and perhaps give some sort of practical\/vocational training in high school when students need to make career decisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Ryan International thinks differently. For them, holistic education and experiential learning mean learning from those who have been there, done that \u2013 their Alumni! They have built a thriving student-alumni network through our Alumni Impact Program. Today, more than 11,000 Ryan Alumni are readily available to guide and mentor current students through events, workshops, and even one-on-one interaction.\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.univariety.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/6-\u2013-1.png\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look at the video on how Ryan\u2019s Alumni guides students \u2013\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wvaFZUHgNSY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Oakridge \u2013 School Success Reflecting Student Success<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Banners and posters displaying names and percentages of 10<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and 12<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> students to announce \u2018Admission open\u2019 is too old school.
