Analysis of Rebound



Bill Walton came off the scrap heap
to win two world titles in basketball.
Jim Plunkett won two Super Bowl titles in football.
A setback doesn’t mean your career is over.
Also, Stephie Graf came off the injury list to win six
tennis majors in two years.
You are not dead and buried until you are dead and buried.
