Grace Under Fire: Jackie Robinson's Unshakeable Resolve

Before Jackie Robinson agreed to break baseball's color barrier, Branch Rickey asked him: 'Do you have the guts to not fight back?' Robinson faced death threats, hate mail, opponents trying to spike him with cleats, pitchers throwing at his head. Hotels refused him rooms. Restaurants refused him service. And he had to take it all without retaliation—because fighting back would give his enemies the excuse they wanted.

For two years, Robinson absorbed punishment that would break most people. He channeled rage into performance. When they threw at his head, he got back up. When they called him names, he stole home. He persevered by being undeniably, relentlessly excellent.
