Summary

Today’s topic is “That’s Why We Play the Games.” This one’s all about mindset. Just because things aren’t looking great right now doesn’t mean it’s over. You might feel far from your goals, but that doesn’t mean you’ll never reach them. I got this phrase from an old ESPN analyst reminding us that no matter how things look on paper, you still gotta play it out. Show Notes:  [02:28]#1 You need to keep playing the games even when you're losing or in a winning situation. [08:41]#2 Any situation in which you are not given a chance, you are barely considered and, or you are not even looked at as a serious contender to succeed is a great opportunity for you.  [12:58]#3 You are not a champion in life, any aspect of life, until you're in a situation that looks like a sure defeat.  [19:22]Recap Next Steps: 🎓 Work On Your Game University Get structured, get paid → WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com 📧 Dre’s Daily Emails (Free) Clarity.

You are not a champion in life, any aspect of life, until you're in a situation that looks like a sure defeat.

0:07.3

But you turn what looks like a defeat into a victory.

0:10.4

That's what makes you a champion.

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

0:19.2

This is Drey Baldwin. And work on your game is the system that turns discipline into dominance.

0:25.3

Today's topic is, that's why we play the games.

0:29.5

Now, this one is a metaphorical topic that I will explain to you very simply.

0:34.7

It's all about the mindset of understanding that just because things may not

0:39.1

be looking the way that you want them to look right now does not mean that the game is over.

0:45.6

Just because things aren't going your way doesn't mean this will always be the case, nor does this

1:24.6

His name was Steve Berman.

1:26.3

Some of you may be familiar with him. If you are a sports fan, you've been watching sports for more than a few decades. You probably had to be over the age of 35 to remember Steve Berman. Now, he often did the NFL breakdowns on ESPN. They had the show called NFL Primetime. And it would come on ESPN on Sunday nights after most of the games have

1:45.8

been completed. So it was in between the 1 o'clock and the 4 o'clock games would come on
