“Dre is the BEST at being real, direct, and strategic as a coach.” – Work On Your Game University Member

	2.	Confidence – Put yourself out there, boldly and authentically.
	3.	Mental Toughness – Keep pushing even when success hasn’t shown up yet.
	4.	Personal Initiative – Make things happen instead of waiting for them.

This isn’t theory. It’s mindset, strategy, accountability, and execution — from someone who’s actually done it.
