How many times have you heard the word “resilience” over the last couple of years?  A quick check on google and there are 212 million references of the word! 

Resilience in simple terms relates to the speed in which you can move on from a disappointment. Sounds easy but it actually isn’t given our human default is pessimism. As human beings, we do pessimism really well! If anyone has sat in the changing room after losing a major final or even worse, a penalty shoot-out, you’ll know the feeling.  We can be in a sad zone for quite a while.  For some too long.
