If everything in your life is random, nothing's predictable, then you are probably living a life of chaos and disorder.

Was it reflective of the law of entropy.

Work on your game. Work on your game. Work on your game.

This is Drey Baldwin, and Work on your game is the system that turns discipline into dominance.

Today's topic is the hidden flex of predictability.

Now back in the days when I made basketball workout videos and I had a lot of players watching these videos where I was basically showing people drills, how to practice and get better at basketball.

Every now and then, I would splice in a video of myself playing in an actual game of basketball.

Now, one thing you should know is that back in my playing days, I had what I called the 10 to 1 rule,

which meant I spent 10 hours practicing for every one hour I spent playing the game.

So I had a lot more videos of myself doing drills,

i.e. practicing than I had myself playing the games, i.e. playing. And I put out thousands of

videos. So there was some game footage mixed in with all of that. And sometimes when I would put my

game play videos out, I would get comments from some players saying that the stuff that I was doing in the

game varied from a lot of the things that I was doing in the practice in the drills. For example,

in the drills that I would put out, I would often do lots of advanced moves, these combination moves,

combining different things together, stuff that pretty much looks fancy. But then in the game,

if you looked at the way I was playing in the game, I would do a lot of simple and basic stuff,

often doing the same movements over and over against the score of my points, more basic moves

rather than in the complex and fancy moves. And players sometimes would respond in a tongue-in-cheek

type of way to my game footage and say

that your playing style is they would say well dray the stuff you're doing is predictable or they would

theorize that the stuff i was doing was easy to stop because i was doing the same stuff over and over
