Dre “All Day” Baldwin teaches what he learned to help people dominate their game in work and in life. How To Dominate Your Game At Work & In Life (And Avoid Feeling As If You've Wasted Your Talent And Opportunity).
He was a hard-working athlete who had distant dreams of going pro, but he was coming from a small NCAA D3 school, and had no connections to the professional world. To add insult to injury, he couldn't even find an agent to represent him, let alone a professional team to sign with. His career appeared to be over. Most players don't make it pro. It was then he decided to attend an exposure camp -- a job fair for athletes -- which changed his life and sports career. From there things started moving in the right direction.
Ahead of the event, he started showing up to the gym every day and doing my work, even when -- ESPECIALLY when -- he least felt like it. This allowed me to tap into a level of confidence that he didn't even know he had -- which not only helped his performance, but made other people believe in him. His mental toughness sharpened, developing the internal fortitude to push himself when he needed it most.
When all was said and done, he knew his strategy worked when he became a 9-year professional athlete-turned-entrepreneur who has taught his framework to over 73 MILLION business people and athletes worldwide since 2005! He shares his framework for how to dominate any "game” in business, sports and life so you can and avoid feeling as if you've wasted your talent and opportunity.

-Dre “All Day” Baldwin
“You're not going to be for everybody and you don't want to be for everybody. As they say, "When you're trying to be for everybody, you're really for nobody." I would tell a school leader to put yourself out there and how you are. Let the people who want to be with you, let them become your audience. They will identify themselves.”
