[VIDEO] Despite the many years I’ve spent on stage speaking in front of large audiences, I was never more nervous than my opening pitch at a University of Texas Baseball game. For weeks I practiced; I even arrived early to test out my arm on the actual field. While I did take the catcher’s advice in standing a little closer in from the pitcher’s mound, I maintained a proper pitching form, and thankfully, the ball landed squarely in the catcher’s glove.

Once I heard the roar of the crowd, I was so grateful for this experience. My team recorded proof of this amazing opportunity and I hope this YouTube Short clip inspires you to “put yourself out there.” You’ll thank yourself later. #TakeRisks
