A Curve does not exist in its full power until contrasted with a straight line.

About This Quote

In mathematics, the term "curve" refers to a figure that is not a straight line. The word is derived from the Latin prefix "curve", meaning a bend or turn. In other words, a curve is a variation in a line or a series of lines that have been bent or turned. A curve can be defined as a smooth and continuous function of one or more variables. In the world of sports, the same thing applies.

A great quarterback is able to perform at an excellent level when he faces an aggressive defense that has multiple blitzes and coverages that force him into uncomfortable situations where he must improvise and make split second decisions that will either lead to touchdowns or costly turnovers. Likewise, the best teams in professional sports are able to overcome adversity due to their ability to adapt and find ways to win despite tough odds.
