Beyond High Performance Meta Performance™ Moment #18: How R.A. Dickey, Former MLB Pitcher and Cy Young Winner, Redefined What It Takes to Achieve Greatness
In these ‘Moment’ episodes, we highlight some of the most powerful insights from past conversations on Beyond High Performance.
YOUR FINEST HOUR | What if talent wasn’t the reason people win? What if the real edge… was in how you rise after you fall?
Host and CEO of Novus Global, Jason Jaggard is joined by MLB legend and Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey along with his coach, Dan Leffelaar, Novus Global Managing Partner & Director of Novus Global Sport. R.A shares a story not of overnight success, but of a decade-long climb through pain, failure, and relentless inner work.
Dickey opens up about what it really takes to master your craft: how he lost it all, rebuilt his identity, and discovered that resilience, surrender, and soul-deep grit are what separate greatness from giftedness. It’s not about being the best. It’s about becoming the version of you who refuses to quit.
This one’s for the innovators, the high-stakes leaders, and anyone chasing mastery who knows the game is played far beyond talent.
A must-listen if you want to:
- Transform failure into fuel for reinvention
- Master the mindset that sustains elite performance
- Build a legacy rooted in discipline, identity, and inner fire
The real game isn’t talent. It’s tenacity.
