What defines sporting courage?

The word courage, derived from Latin ‘cour’ meaning heart, refers to those brave enough to embrace their imperfections and accept them as advantageous.

You could add the capacity of teams to embrace vulnerability, yet willingly act, even when circumstances offer absolutely no guarantee of success.
