Work On Your Game: Discipline, Confidence & Mental Toughness For Sports, Business & Life | Mental Health & Mindset

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:

Today I'm talking about whether a woman should be intimidating on purpose. Not just how people feel around her, but when a woman intentionally tries to come off that way. There's a big difference between someone being intimidating and someone trying to intimidate. I break down what the word really means and ask why would a woman want to cause fear or timidity in others, especially in men? This episode is about intention, not perception. Show Notes:  [03:01]#1 You should not be intimidating as a woman? The short answer to this question is, Hell no! [06:38]#2 While not intimidating, what a woman should aim to be is respected. [12:25]#3 Being feminine is not about being loud. [15:36]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3311: How To Be A "High Value Man" [Part 1 of 2] 3312: How To Be A "High Value Man" [Part 2 of 2] Next Steps:

In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between a sexy woman and a sexual woman because no, they are not the same thing. A lot of women today are jumping into the marketplace thinking that showing more skin equals value, and I'm here to explain why that's not always the move. I also touch on how sex is being pushed in everyone's face these days, even when we're not looking for it. And fellas, I'm speaking from our perspective on what we actually see and think when it comes to how women present themselves. Show Notes:  [01:47]#1 Sexy is about presentation and what's on the surface.  [07:45]#2 Sexy energy is seeking approval as a form of validation.  [12:13]#3 Sexy is public and open to be seen by pretty much anyone.  [14:48]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3203: Why Instagram "Ass Models" Exist Next Steps:

In this episode, I'm talking to the ladies about how to move gracefully as a woman. This ain't a metaphor we're talking real, physical movement and presence, just like we did for the men in the masculine movement episode. A man's movement sends a message, and so does a woman's. So today, we're getting into how women can embody that same kind of grace and power in their own way. Let's talk about how you carry yourself and what it says without you even speaking. Show Notes:  [01:16]#1 Grace as Energy First, Movement Second [07:47]#2 Body Language Communication [12:25]#3 Small habits that separate women from girls.  [17:59]Recap Next Steps:

Today's topic is for the ladies, femininity is a skill. Just like I've held men accountable in past episodes, now I'm giving y'all the female version from a man's perspective. If you're a woman who wants to be led by a strong man, I'm telling you what that man is actually looking for. This ain't about bashing women, it's about giving real games. And fellas, don't skip this—because you need to know what to look for, too. Show Notes:  [03:29]#1 Femininity is not a natural trait or a talent.  [09:25]#2 Femininity is powerfully powerful.  [14:32]#3 Femininity is something that is claimed, that is not something that is performed. [18:04]Recap Next Steps:

In this episode, I'm breaking down the truth about dominance. It connects to what we talked about yesterday having power and influence over others and why not everybody actually wants that. I talk about how dominance works in sports versus how it works in business, and why trying to crush your opponent in business could backfire. Sometimes you need the people you're competing with to still function after the game is over. Let's get into how to be smart, not just hard. Show Notes:  [02:13]#1 Dominance is about control, not necessarily aggression. [10:24]#2 Dominance must be claimed or taken because it is never given. [15:53]#3 Dominance requires sustained performance.  [22:19]Recap Next Steps:

In this episode, I'm talking about why most people can't be trusted with power, not just power over others, but even power over their own lives. We all say we want control and influence, but the truth is, a lot of folks aren't ready for it. Being powerful requires responsibility, discipline, and the ability to manage yourself, and most people just don't have that. Today I'm breaking down why that is, and what it really takes to earn and handle power the right way. Show Notes:  [01:52]#1 Power is a magnifier.  [09:29]#2 One trade off of power is that for the price of having this influence, you are also responsible for the outcomes of those events even.  [20:03]#3 Power is not free.  [23:25]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2174: There Are No Perfect Scenarios – Only Trade-Offs Next Steps:

In this episode, I'm breaking down the hidden flex of being predictable. Back in my hoop days, I spent way more time practicing than playing, and while my drills were full of fancy moves, my game play was simple and repeatable and that's what worked. Some people said I was “predictable,” like that was a bad thing, but they were missing the point. Predictability, when it's backed by skill and consistency, is a strength, not a weakness. Today, I'm telling you why doing the same thing well—over and over—can actually make you unstoppable. Show Notes:  [02:22]#1 Predictability and consistency have a calming effect on both the users and the recipients. [08:23]#2 The more predictability you have in your life, the easier it is to think long term and plan for  the bigger picture. [15:07]#3 Predictability frees up your most powerful weapon.  [29:55]Recap Next Steps:

In this episode, I'm giving y'all a literal guide to masculine movement—yes, how you physically move and carry your body as a man. This ain't metaphorical; I'm talking real body language and presence. Ladies, don't skip this one—listen so you know what to look for in a man or share it with one who needs it. Fellas, this is about the nonverbal signals you're sending every day, whether you realize it or not. Let's break down how to carry yourself like a man without saying a word. Show Notes:   [01:35]#1 Posture equals presence.  [07:37]#2 Control equals power.  [14:54]#3 Stillness equals dominance. [22:39]Recap Next Steps:

Today I'm flipping the script and telling you why social media will never be real life. Yeah, yesterday I broke down how it has become real life for a lot of people but today I'm giving you the other side. I like to argue both angles so you can think for yourself and see where you stand. If you live on your phone more than you talk to real people, this one's especially for you. Let's get into it. Show Notes:  [01:45]#1 Real life in the flesh, human engagement still matters and you still need the skills that come with it. [06:45]#2 Social media provides a robust platform for people to live out their unlived fantasies through a smartphone and that's pretty much what social media allows people to do.  [16:00]#3 Artificial intelligence and automation are only getting better, which means there are fewer people developing real intelligence, real skills, and real know-how. So the opportunity is in having those skills.  [20:01]Recap Episode Mentioned: 1025: The Opportunity Is In The Opposites 3137: The Future-Proof Skills You Need [Part 1 of 4] Next Steps:

In this episode, I'm breaking down how social media has literally become real life for a lot of people. I've touched on this in past episodes, like 1690 and 490, but today I'm going deeper on how and why this shift happened. Even if it ain't true for you, you still need to understand it because it'll help you make sense of how people think, talk, and act these days. Let's get into it. Show Notes:  [01:42]#1 Smartphones have replaced real life human engagement at a mass level. [05:51]#2 More people are evaluating, judging and making conclusions about others based on what they see or that they can find on social media without considering any other factors.  [11:09]#3 The concept of catfishing [16:24]Recap Episode Mentioned: 490: Social Media Is The New TV Show: Don't Be Fooled By The Actors 1690: A Dirty Secret That Social Media Platforms Don't Want You To Know Next Steps:

Today I'm breaking down how feminism ends and yes, I got a plan for it. I've talked about this before, whether it was toxic femininity, feminized men, or how men need to stop being soft. But today, I'm laying out the actual steps to shut feminism down completely. I explain where it came from, why it's a bad idea, and how we reverse engineer it to end it. If you really want to understand the root of it and how to fix it, this episode is the blueprint. Show Notes:  [03:09]#1 Men must be willing to tell women to shut the fuck up with no equivocation. [13:17]#2 Men must carry himself and perform in a way that motivates women to aim for his approval.  [23:48]#3 Bring general masculinity back to society. No more weaponizing feelings.  [27:18]Recap Episode Mentioned: 2457: Identifying Toxic Femininity 2200: The Feminization Of Sports, Part 1 of 6 2039: The Worst Traits Of Feminized Men 3224: Men: Stop Being Pussies [Part 1 of 5] Next Steps:

Today I'm talking about how men are being artificially controlled by sex. This ain't about the natural biological drive—we all got that—but about how the modern world, with social media and all these ass models, is using sex to control men in ways our grandparents never dealt with. I break down how this weakens our discipline and how that's playing a big role in the collapse of Western society. If the men are off, the whole culture goes down. I've touched on this in other episodes, but today we're going deeper. Show Notes:  [02:38]#1 Life in general used to be relatively hard, especially for a man.  [11:18]#2 Sex is the top selling product of all time, and it is part of the convenient and exploitative package of easily available distraction. [21:29]#3 Women have jumped into the game head first and men have followed.  [28:29]Recap Episode Mentioned: 3203: Why Instagram "Ass Models" Exist 3282: Why The "Red Pill" Movement Is GREAT For Society [Part 1 of 2] Next Steps:

This is part two of our mini-series on how identity shapes your behavior. Today I covered four more key traits: being a Systems Thinker, building identity on ownership, using performance as proof, and operating with a legacy mindset. If those sound like how you see yourself or who you're trying to become, then you're in the right place. And if you want help getting there, go to WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com.

In this episode, I talk about how your identity shapes your behavior. I got into this after asking ChatGPT what it thinks my identity is based on how I've used it. The answer surprised me and made me think about myself, and about how AI picks up on what we put out. I'm using what it said about me to help you understand what your digital footprint might be saying about you. This isn't just about tech, it's about self-awareness and how the world (online and offline) sees you. Show Notes:  [04:06]#1 Chatgpt tells me, dre, you are a relentless executor.  [07:12]#2 Discipline over emotion.  [10:49]#3 Truth teller and sharp edged leader.  [14:08]Recap Next Steps:

Today we're talking about how to master presence. When I say presence, I'm talking about that "in the zone" feeling, like athletes get, but for everyday life. It's about the way you carry yourself, how you show up, and how you command attention and respect just by being you. You don't need to be on a stage or a field to have it. I'm breaking it all down so you can start using it right now, no matter who you are or what you do. Show Notes:  [03:00]#1 Be exactly where you are while you are there.  [10:17]#2 Master the silent amplifiers.  [15:02]#3 Internal certainty.  [19:26]Recap Next Steps: ⭕️ The Circle in Work On Your Game University: http:// WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com/circle

You already have a certain amount of time on this earth, so why not squeeze more wins and more progress into that time? Imagine hitting your five-year goals in just one year. That's what I mean when I say fast forward your life.

This is part two of our mini-series on how manifestation works. I talked about how the universe responds to boldness, not hesitation if you don't try, you don't get. I gave a couple real-life stories to show how confidence makes a difference. I also explained that manifestation ain't magic you gotta be clear, stay mentally locked in, and take action. And the biggest key? You attract what you are, not what you say so get your mindset right first, then everything else can fall into place. Show Notes:  [00:31]#1 Be bold.  [10:52]#2 Do not believe in magic.  [14:04]#3 You attract what you are, not what you say. [20:14]Recap Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm breaking down how manifestation really works. A lot of people talk about it, but most don't fully understand what it actually means or how to do it with intention. I'm walking you through a simple definition and showing you how to use manifestation on purpose not by accident. This is about getting the results you want in life, on your terms, and making it happen by design. Show Notes:  [01:37]#1 Clarity of Outcome  [07:44]#2 Your thoughts are the constant instructions.  [15:01]#3 Emotion and aligned actions.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what a disciplined man does. Discipline is the foundation of everything we do here. It's the first thing I mention for a reason. I believe the biggest reason society is slipping is because too many men are not handling their business. If men stepped up, things would start getting better real fast. So today, I'm laying out the steps every man needs to follow to be disciplined and do his part. Show Notes:  [02:33]#1 A disciplined man is discerning about women and men who make themselves and their offerings too easily available. [09:21]#2 Stick to script and process even when success is "late to the party" [16:06]#3 Disciplined men naturally draw admiration from both women and men for reliability and consistency without trying [21:11]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3331: How To Avoid Traps 3261: The First 3 Laws Of Economics 1431: Discernment: Your Skill Of Perception And Judgement 3012: Happiness Is NOT The Goal 582: Being Motivated Does Not Require Fun, Joy or Happiness Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm breaking down what you should be doing with AI chatbots like ChatGPT right now. And I don't just mean ChatGPT I'm talking about any AI tool out there: Claude, Grok, whatever your favorite is. The key is not which one you use, but how you use it. I also explain why this tech is moving faster than most people realize and how you need to get ahead of the curve starting today. Plus, if you didn't know, I got my own custom chatbot you can try for free DreGPT. Show Notes:  [01:56]#1 Replacing Google.  [06:18]#2 Get the paid version and create a custom GPT.  [15:47]#3 Ask multi-layered questions and get solid directional insights.  [22:35]Recap Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm talking about why debate culture is useless. You see it all over social media two people arguing just to get views and likes. Most of the time, they don't even believe what they're saying. It's all fake, planned out just to keep people entertained. I don't waste my time on that kind of stuff. I'd rather use my energy on things that actually help me grow, and I know a lot of y'all feel the same way. Show Notes:  [04:46]#1 Debates in school are the ones that should be about winning. [11:59]#2 Debates these days are all about the gotcha. [16:04]#3 Actual debate should occur between honest dealers.  [23:29]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1025: The Opportunity Is In The Opposites Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm talking about something a lot of people say to me: “It's not that easy.” And you know what? I agree with them. It's not supposed to be easy, that's the whole point. I've had all kinds of people say this to me over the years, and today I'm explaining why that phrase actually proves why the work matters in the first place. Show Notes:  [02:02]#1 The third law of economics.  [08:44]#2 If it were easy, everyone would be doing it and everyone will have it and thus it would not be valuable.  [17:29]#3 The fact that it's not easy is not a reason to stay away from a thing.  [24:56]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3261: The First 3 Laws Of Economics 1025: The Opportunity Is In The Opposites Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm breaking down Newton's three laws of motion. If you don't remember them or never learned them, that's fine I got you. I'll explain each law in simple terms and show you how they apply to real life, not just science. I like clear rules because they help us stay focused and not make excuses. These laws will help you look at your actions and results in a whole new way. Show Notes:  [02:01]#1 The law of inertia.  [10:16]#2 Force equals mass times acceleration.

In this episode, I wrap up part two of our mini-series on how to be a High Value Woman. I break down the last three points: low sexual history, fitting into a man's program, and feminine presentation. I explain why these things matter both in private and in public, and how they reflect on the man you're with. If you missed part one, go listen to that first. Let's finish what we started. Show Notes:  [00:38]#6 Low sexual history.  [14:29]#7 Willing to fit into a man's program.  [18:05]#8 A feminine presentation.

If you want to position yourself to attract high value men and stand out in the dating marketplace, this is the game you need to understand. I'm breaking it down in a simple, honest way, no fluff.

In this episode, I'm talking about how to avoid traps. A trap is something that looks fun, easy, or like a good deal but in the end, it costs you more than you thought. People fall into traps all the time because they don't see the danger until it's too late. I'm breaking down how to spot these setups before you get caught. This all comes down to discipline and learning to think before you jump. Show Notes:  [02:05]#1 Beware of the free lunch. [09:18]#2 Think about your exit strategy before you enter.  [14:03]#3 Ask yourself how much, whoever is making the offer, benefits versus how much you benefit.

In this episode, I'm talking about the N-word—what it means, who uses it, and the unwritten rules around it. A recent situation sparked the idea for this topic, but the episode isn't about that specific event. As a Black American, I've used the term myself in the past, so I'm speaking from experience. This is a real conversation that needs to be had, and we're going to break it all down right here. Show Notes:  [01:49]#1 You're white, you probably shouldn't use the word. [07:18]#2 Addressing black people, we have made the word popular.  [13:19]#3 We created this, sold it, defended it… and now we wanna act surprised it came back to us? [22:03]Recap Next Steps: ---

Today's topic is part two of our series on artificial intelligence — AI is your employee, not your boss. In this class, I break down why you still need to think for yourself even when AI gives you feedback. If you're letting AI run the show, you're not the boss anymore, you're the worker. I also talk about how AI can either replace you or work for you, depending on how you use it. Plus, I introduce my Dre GPT chatbot and tell you how to get access Show Notes:  [00:36]#4 When you are using artificial intelligence, you are still required to think, interpret, discern, and decide what to do after receiving feedback from your help. [06:08]#5 Many people falsely believe that the emergence of AI means that you will not have to think as much or do as much because the AI will be doing the work for you. If you think that way you're going to be replaced.  [16:06]#6  If you put yourself in a position where AI can work completely independent of you, then in that space you become effectively unnecessary.  [22:38]Recap Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm talking about artificial intelligence. I know a lot of people are using it, but let me be clear, AI is your employee, not your boss. I had a conversation during one of my live streams where some folks got confused. Just because I used ChatGPT to check a fact doesn't mean I need to use it for everything. I'm breaking down why you should use AI as a tool not let it run the show. Show Notes:  [02:08]#1 You use AI as necessary and not use it when it's not necessary. [08:03]#2 AI is designed based on the aggregated information grabbed from the Internet. [17:38]#3 You must Learn how to use AI and automation as your employees, not let them use you as your bosses.   [20:37]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3102: Give Advice ONLY If... Next Steps: ---

This is part three, the final piece of why I'm not a politician. In this one, I break down three more reasons: limited income potential (compared to entrepreneurship), the fact that politics puts your whole life on blast, and how people will lie and attack you just because they disagree. I'm not signing up for that circus — and I explain exactly why. Let's wrap this series up. Show Notes:  [00:38]#7 Limited income potential Compared to entrepreneurship. [05:45]#8 Everybody's in your business when you're a politician. [14:23]#9 Logical fallacies abound.  [20:59]Recap Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm picking up with part two of why I'm not a politician. Today I talk about how I don't like having to answer to people I don't respect, how no matter what you do, half the people will hate it, and how the system is so stuck with red tape you can't get anything real done. You basically get blocked just because of who you are. And that's another big reason why politics ain't for me — but trust me, I've got more coming tomorrow. Show Notes:  [00:34]#4 Having to listen to, answer to, or be subordinate to others who have more seniority than me.    [07:13]#5 No matter what you do, half the people, actual citizens, will be pissed off at you.  [13:46]#6 High levels of bureaucracy means it's hard to get anything substantial done.   [20:24]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1663: Your Favorite Flavor Of "Shit Sandwich" Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm talking about why I'm not a politician and why I wouldn't be good at it. Some people on my live streams say I'd make a good one, but they don't really get how politics works. Just having good ideas and meaning well isn't enough. There's a big cost that comes with being in politics, and most people don't see that. I'm breaking it all down today and over the next two episodes. Show Notes:  [02:00]#1 You have no choice but to lie for a living.  [10:09]#2 Lowercase politics. [18:08]#3 Receiving donor money to fund my campaigns. [26:53]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1667: Dre For President? Governor? Mayor? Why I'd FAIL In Politics Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm talking about the discipline problem a lot of men are dealing with right now. Too many guys are slipping, being reckless, not handling their responsibilities, and just not showing up every day like we're supposed to. I've been covering this in other episodes and live streams, but today I'm coming at it from a new angle. This isn't just about personal mistakes it's why society is falling apart. And I'm here to help fill in the gaps for the men who don't even know what they're missing. Show Notes:  [03:08]#1 Doing the shit that you know you are supposed to do. [10:36]#2 You must know when the job is done and not overdo it or do it too much. [15:41]#3 Being accurate more than being right.

Today's topic is about what you think other people think of you. I'm using the race conversation specifically the nonsense from race hustlers as the frame, but this really applies to everybody. These folks make money by telling black people that white people hate to see them succeed. But the crazy part is, these same race hustlers usually got their success working for the very people they claim are the problem. I'm breaking it all down and showing you why what others think about you especially when it's based on lies is not your concern. Show Notes:  [04:47]#1 It's not your business what other people think of you.  [0813]#2 You cannot read nor police thoughts. [17:29]#3 What you think shows in your energy and your actions was projection onto others what you think of you.  [26:15]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1788:  Destroying "Antiracism" Next Steps: ---

Today I'm talking about why ambitious men should be monogamous. I know some other guys say different things, and that's cool—but I see it another way. A lot of successful men mess up their careers by getting into drama with women. Most of the time, that doesn't happen to men who are in a real, committed relationship. If you're a man trying to do big things, being with one woman helps you stay focused. Show Notes:  [04:33]#1 Your five forms of investment - time, money, attention, energy and focus, all of those need to be going towards your purpose.  [14:02]#2  When you start achieving, you're going to start to draw attention that has nothing to do with your purpose. You will be tempted by them. A committed relationship can serve as a guardrail that keeps you focused. [32:33]#3  Rarely do you see a single man become mayor, governor, or president. Because a man who's on a pedestal with power is going to attract women. And that has nothing to do with what you are being hired to do.

In this episode, I'm talking about boss requirements—what it really takes to be in charge. A lot of people want to be their own boss these days, call their own shots, and set their own schedules. I get it, and there's never been more opportunity to do that than right now. But before you start running a team or a business, you've got to know what it takes to lead—even if it's just leading yourself. Whether you're raising kids, running a company, or planning to fire your boss, this one's for you. Show Notes:  [03:09]#1 Hold yourself to a higher account than anyone else holds you. [09:39]#2 Be willing to stand and walk alone.  [23:49]#3 Temporarily sacrifice security and exchange in exchange for freedom and autonomy. [26:12]Recap Next Steps: ---

People say you “rise to the occasion,” but that's not really true. What actually happens is you fall to the level of your preparation. If you don't prepare, the moment will beat you. In this episode, I'm breaking down what that really means and how to make sure you're ready when the pressure hits.

In this episode, I'm talking about what it really means to be a high value man. This idea was made popular by Kevin Samuels, a guy I came across a couple years ago when one of his videos went viral. Kevin had a straight-up, no-nonsense way of speaking that reminded me of how I talk and that pulled me in. He used to have deep conversations about dating and relationships, especially around the kind of man women say they want.  I'm breaking down the points he made about what makes a man high value, but explaining them in my own words. This is part one of a two-part series, and just so you know this isn't a pick-and-choose thing. You need all the qualities if you want to be that guy.

In this episode, I talk about a conversation I saw on X (formerly Twitter) where some business owners said their companies took a big hit after tariffs went into effect during the Trump administration. While that's a real situation, this episode isn't about tariffs. I'm not here to talk about news. I leave that for my live streams every weekday at 8am Eastern. What I'm really breaking down today is the mindset behind how people react when things go wrong. The main point: blaming others should never be part of your approach. Show Notes:  [04:26]#1 When you are a leader, you don't have the luxury of blaming anyone for anything.

In this episode, I'm talking about how to survive when the economy takes a hit.
