Have Courage. It Will Be Worth It: The Struggle Behind My Athletic Success

By Ethan B Rose

Have you ever watched your life suddenly collapse before your eyes? In his intimate and openly honest sports memoir, Have Courage. It Will Be Worth It, Ethan Rose shares his powerful and deeply personal athletic journey, marked by loss, success, adversity, and resilience.

From his early commitment to soccer to his new dedication to track and field, Ethan's story follows his rise from a timid, broken young boy to a high-achieving multi-sport collegiate athlete. After defying odds -- achieving his goal of playing collegiate-level soccer -- and having an incredibly successful sophomore indoor track season, his world suddenly shifted, leaving him stripped of everything he had worked for, forced to move forward with little to stand on.

What others saw as success was a side that no one knew of. Ethan recounts his mental health struggles as a college student-athlete, facing challenges like anxiety, depression, and burnout, while grappling with his identity in and out of competing. His experience reveals the hidden realities of collegiate sports, exposing the silent mental battles many student-athletes endure and the critical role of support and self-worth beyond performance.

Raw, honest, and inspiring, Ethan's transformational journey explores what it means to rebuild when everything falls apart. This profound and eye-opening memoir is a story of courage in the face of uncertainty, teaching that true success and fulfillment are not defined by achievements -- but by the strength to rediscover and redefine yourself.
