CONCLUSION “Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” — Confucius Championship coaches have often talked about how their team showed great resilience. Usually, the point is that team members overcame adversity to achieve their goals. Sometimes the coaches thanked the people who paved the road for good performance. Those people provided the resources and the training to enable success. Resilience is like that. Resources are available to help prepare for, respond to and recover from adverse events. There are resilience coaches out there, too. For almost any adversity your team will face, others have faced a similar situation and bounced back from it. We are all called to be resilient at some point. Will you be ready?
