As a coach, it’s easy to let cheer consume your every thought—but at 
what cost? In this episode, we dive into the reality of stepping away 
mid-season, why it’s not only possible but necessary, and how taking 
time for yourself can actually make you a better coach. 
 
Danielle shares her personal experience of getting away, the steps she 
took to prepare her teams, and how she returned feeling refreshed, 
excited, and more in tune with what truly matters. From making 
memories with family to gaining fresh perspectives from her athletes, 
this episode is a reminder that cheer is a part of life—not all of it. 
 
Tune in as we unpack the mindset shift that every coach needs to hear!
