I think the most important trait is courage.
Why?
Because fear is ubiquitous.
Fear has the ability to be present in every realm of a human’s life.
Family, friends, work, romance etc.
From the very trivial (precariously stacked dishes) to the extremely important (having a tough conversation with a loved one).
Also it never goes away. It doesn’t matter how many blog posts I write, I’ll still feel a jolt of fear that others may read this and judge me.
I would bet Johnny Sexton feels the same every time he steps up to take a kick. The fear of the missed conversion keeps him practicing and forces him to focus.
Therefore I would like to put forward my opinion that courage is the most important trait.
