Podcast host Megan Weaver recaps the end of her softball season, noting burnout after coaching about 61 games while parenting three kids. She confesses a tech mistake: a great guest interview was lost when a Zoom recording auto-deleted after 30 days, and she explains processing frustration by allowing emotions, taking a pause, and moving forward with a new episode. The main topic is what athletes and coaches should do when a season ends: take 48–72 hours (or more) to decompress, then complete an end-of-season audit. She recommends three reflection questions: whether you enjoyed the season and why (checking facts versus negative stories), what you did well and proud moments, and specific, attainable goals to improve next year. She encourages celebrating wins, taking a real break, and references episode 14 on goal setting with her daughter Cora as Cora shifts to soccer tryouts.
