Courage to Take Risks and Rise in the Moment

What Does Courage Look Like?

Courage isn’t about being fearless. It’s about feeling the fear and stepping forward anyway. It’s about showing up when the pressure is on and refusing to back down when doubt creeps in. It’s not something you’re born with—it’s something you train, moment by moment, decision by decision.

And when it comes to courage, baseball gives us some of the best lessons. From Jackie Robinson’s quiet strength to Shohei Ohtani’s bold moves, the game shows us how courage can change everything.

In our latest video, “Courage to Take Risks and Rise in the Moment,” we break down the mindset secrets of some of baseball’s greatest players—and show you how to apply them in your own life.

4 Lessons in Courage from Baseball’s Greats

1. Stand Tall Like Jackie Robinson

Jackie Robinson didn’t just play baseball—he broke barriers, faced relentless hostility, and still showed up with grace and focus. He teaches us that courage isn’t loud; it’s steady. It’s standing tall in the storm, finding balance in chaos, and showing the world that resilience is stronger than fear.

2. Embrace Failure Like Aaron Judge

Early in his career, Aaron Judge struck out—a lot. Critics were loud, but Judge was louder in his determination. He embraced failure as part of the journey, using every strikeout as fuel to grow stronger. His lesson? Fear and failure aren’t roadblocks; they’re stepping stones.

3. Build Confidence Like Big Papi

David Ortiz—Big Papi—didn’t just show up confident one day. He built that confidence swing by swing, game by game. Courageous repetition is what turns pressure into poise. Every rep matters. Every step forward adds to the box of confidence you’ll stand on when it’s your time to shine.

4. Take Bold Actions Like Shohei Ohtani

Shohei Ohtani isn’t just a pitcher or a hitter—he’s both, dominating at the highest level. That didn’t happen by playing it safe. It happened because he took bold actions, even when the world said it couldn’t be done. Courage is about taking the leap before you feel ready.

Your Turn to Rise

Whether you’re on the field, in the office, or just navigating life, courage is the key to growth. It’s not about being fearless—it’s about feeling the fear and acting anyway. The good news? Courage is like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets.
