New York Yankees icon Alex Rodriguez is celebrated as a legend of the game who has turned himself into a well-known, successful businessman. The journey from the diamond to creating an expansive business network has been a real success story for many aspirational youngsters in both sports and business fields.
Rodriguez founded the A-Rod Corp. in 1996 and started to make meaningful investments with the firm in 2003. Now the company’s investment portfolio has grown exponentially as the baseball star is investing in diversified businesses.
He also founded the Newport Property Construction in 2008 and the Monument Capital Management in 2012, which currently controls over $1 billion in assets across 16 US states.
Alex Rodriguez Shared the Mantra of Controlling One’s Emotion and Never Fear Failing in Life
On Wednesday, A-Rod shared an Instagram post highlighting the importance of controlling one’s emotions and never fearing failure in life. He extrapolated these pointers to superimpose on his life to reflect on his continued success story on and off the field.
In the video, Rodriguez is heard saying, “I’ve played professional sports for over two decades, and one of the major keys to success is you have to be able to control your emotions. When things get really heated, there are always two things you do: you stay calm, and you never give up. Keep pushing forward. I think there are a lot of times in business and in sports that things don’t go your way.”
He further continues, “Look, I’m 5th all-time in the history of the game in strikeouts. That means that I have a Ph.D. in failing but also kind of have a master’s in getting back up, and I think that is the key. To be able to come up with the same enthusiasm, same energy, and same optimism when things are not going well, I think a lot of athletes that convert to businesspeople have that asset.”
Rodriguez is a 14-time All-Star, three-time MVP, and a World Series champion with the Yankees in 2009. The startling infielder has sustained all kinds of ups and downs in life but has never given up, which is a testament to his gritty mentality and the reason behind his massive success in all his endeavors on and off the field.
