Resilience is briefly defined as "bouncing back". However, elaborately the definition of resilience is "a class of phenomena characterized by patterns of positive adaptation in the context of significant adversity or risk." (Lopez, Snyder, Pedrotti, 2008). Furthermore, numerous individuals in the public eye have overcome hard stuff. In fact, most of us have probably overcome hard stuff as well, thus becoming resilient.Among these Lance Armstrong is one of them. "Lance Armstrong is known by the public as the man who despite recovering from cancer for much of his career won the Tour de France seven times." (Defining Resilience, 2011).
