It's one of the best qualities to have, the ability to reset after you've taken a hard hit. I've had the pleasure and privilege of seeing the human spirit in full flight in incredible ways.

Die Geschichte hinter diesem Zitat

Drawing on decades of covering world-class athletes — from tennis champions who lost heartbreaking finals to Olympic athletes who overcame devastating injuries — Carillo spoke about resilience with the authority of someone who had witnessed it at the highest levels of human performance. The 'ability to reset' was a sports metaphor that translated perfectly to life. In tennis, you lose a set and you have to walk to the other side of the court and start again with the same opponent who just beat you. In life, the setbacks are different — a failed business, a broken relationship, a health crisis — but the skill is identical. You have to be able to take the hit, process it, and then show up ready to compete again.
