I am attempting to find an adjective to describe someone who has rebounded from failure and come back even stronger.

The ___ man came back, worked harder, then succeeded after missing the game winning shot.

Best Answer

"Resilient" seems to be a perfect fit.

  • able to become strong, healthy, or successful again after something bad happens
  • able to return to an original shape after being pulled, stretched, pressed, bent, etc.
