Extreme sports are considered not only a pursuit of adrenaline for individuals, despite involving high risk, uncertainty, and danger, but also a reflection of the search for self-discovery, a sense of freedom, confronting fear, and personal transformation. Courage is not defined as the absence of fear, but rather as the ability to act consciously in spite of fear. This courage stems from the dynamic interaction of personality traits, neurobiological responses, and cognitive processes. According to Marvin Zuckerman's Sensation-Seeking theory, these individuals experience a powerful release of dopamine from high-risk activities, which reinforces the behavior. In the cognitive evaluation process, athletes transform threats into manageable challenges, turning fear into a tool for performance. In the context of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory, extreme sports are interpreted as part of the journey toward self-actualization, where the need for safety is temporarily suspended. Furthermore, Csikszentmihalyi's Flow theory explains the state of deep focus in which the athlete's perception of time and self disappears. The Nine-Type Temperament Model (NTTM) defines the high-energy, discovery-oriented, and risk-prone temperament of individuals involved in these sports. In conclusion, courage in extreme sports is a complex psychological phenomenon shaped by the interaction of biological tendencies, cognitive reframing, motivational systems, and the search for existential meaning.
