Confidence is key in many aspects of life. Whether it's playing a sport, meeting someone new, or even walking down the street. 

Confidence is an undervalued trait that those who have understand the importance of it. The ability to conduct yourself in a way that put no doubt in another person's mind that you are in control of not only yourself but the situation around you can go a long way. 

Confidence can even trick yourself into believing that you're able to do something you never thought you could before. 

Derek Jeter also known as, "The Captain," played professional baseball for 20 years, all for the New York Yankees. Jeter would become one of the most decorated major leaguers of all time as he would earn five Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards, 14 All-Star selections, record 3,465 career hits with a .310 batting average.

Jeter also won five World Series titles and would be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2021.
