Baseball legend Derek Jeter rose his way up from the bottom and became one of the best shortstops in MLB history. The Captain worked hard enough to have a career that deserves to get instated into Cooperstown. His charm on and off the field was irresistible for anyone who came anywhere near him. And it still is the case. People from every industry still talk about his heroics on the diamond, even though he does not play the game anymore. 

Transitioning from a professional baseball player to a retired athlete is not easy for any athlete, and it certainly wasn’t for Jeter. But he found ways to keep him busy. And now, after dipping his hands into a couple of different ventures last year, he launched athleisure ‘Greatness Wins.’ And with it, he changed the meaning of greatness for everyone. But what does greatness mean for the Captain himself?

Therefore, the former athlete is determined to grow this brand enough to make it a tremendous success.

When the brand’s team asked the former Yankee what greatness means to him, he said, “Many look at it as an achievement. I look at it as an ultimate mindset. That means setting your goals high, pushing yourself to achieve it, and not settling for less.”

It might be difficult for Jeter to make the brand a huge success. It is because he is not the first person with an athletic background to enter the athleisure industry. But the Captain sure has the backing of people from different fields to change the view of people towards athletic wear.

The Captain, Jeter, is now living his dream!

The former shortstop has spoken multiple times before retiring about how he saw himself as a retired athlete. One thing that always remained the same was his dream to create a family. And also to spend as much time as possible with them. His main focus is his family, and then comes the various ventures he is a part of.
