Happy New Year, and welcome to Episode 20 of Coffee with Kelsey!

This episode is the natural continuation of Episode 19, where we reflected on the lessons, challenges, and wins of the past year. Now it’s time to turn that reflection into clarity, structure, and action for 2026.

In this episode, I walk dancers and parents through how to:

• Close out the previous year with intention

• Set process-focused goals (not outcome-based ones like “winning”)

• Organize the year in a way that supports consistency and confidence

• Build weekly structure that actually leads to improvement

• Stay mentally grounded and motivated throughout the season

This is not about chasing medals — it’s about building habits, skills, and systems that create long-term success in DanceSport.

To support this episode, I’ve created a free Episode 20 Companion Worksheet designed to help you map out your goals, monthly focus, and weekly structure in a clear, manageable way.

You can download the worksheet here:
👉 www.BallroomDanceCoach.com

Use it while listening or revisit it throughout the year to stay aligned and organized.

I also offer goal-setting consultations for dancers and parents. These sessions help you:

• Clarify realistic, process-based goals

• Build a plan that fits your schedule and training level

• Create accountability and structure for the year ahead

Consultations are available via Zoom or in person in Pittsburgh.

Whether you’re a competitive dancer, a parent supporting a young athlete, or someone starting fresh in 2026, this episode is here to help you move forward with focus, intention, and confidence.

Thanks for spending part of your new year with me — let’s make 2026 a year of growth. ☕💪
