Yes, he proved himself in the field leading Athenian forces in several battles. He was also a good strategist who, at the beginning of the 27 year war withe the Peloponnesian alliance laid down rules that Athens would defend thir city walls and harrass the opposition with its fleey from this secure base.

This worked for a few years until Pericles died. His successors deviated from this policy into adventurous actions and eventually lost the war. We don't know if Pericles would have been more succssful had he lived.
