bouncebackability
Ability to recover
Bouncebackability is the capacity to recover quickly from setbacks or adversity.
The word emerged in British sports commentary to describe athletes or teams who rally after falling behind: The team showed real bouncebackability, coming from two goals down to win.
It applies beyond sports to any resilient response to difficulty.
