Last night felt different.For the first Monday night in months…there was nowhere I needed to be.No lineup to build.No stats to analyze.No field to rush to.No game plan to prepare.And strangely…I realized I already missed it.In Episode 92 of Summit After the Storm, Bart reflects on the emotional ending of baseball season, the unexpected relationships built through coaching, and why some people only walk with us for a season… but still leave a lasting impact.This episode explores:⚾ The emotional end of youth sports seasons⚾ Leadership, coaching, and relationships⚾ Why teams become family over time⚾ The parents, volunteers, and support systems behind every season⚾ The connection between baseball and climbing Kilimanjaro⚾ Learning to appreciate seasons before they endBecause sometimes the greatest gift isn’t the championship.Sometimes it’s simply getting to share the climb with other people.Featuring reflections inspired by an Anaïs Nin quote about how people create new worlds within us through shared experiences and connection.🎙️ Summit After the Storm with Bart WilbanksLeadership.

Before the playoff game even started…I brought a huge cooler full of ice and water because I believed we’d still be playing Monday night in the championship game.We didn’t make it.But that’s not the part I can’t stop thinking about.In Episode 91 of Summit After the Storm, Bart reflects on youth baseball, leadership, belief, disappointment, and why great leaders often believe in people before the scoreboard ever does.This episode explores:⚾ Speaking confidence into others before results appear⚾ Leadership during uncertainty⚾ Why belief changes teams and people⚾ The emotional reality of playoff sports⚾ Why relationships matter more than recordsAnd after the season-ending loss…the kids grabbed the cooler anyway.Ice water everywhere.Parents laughing.Kids celebrating.One final moment together.Because sometimes belief still matters…even when the outcome doesn’t go your way.🎙️ Summit After the Storm with Bart WilbanksLeadership.

Everyone expected us to lose.We were the 5 seed facing the #1 team in the league.And after falling behind 5–0 early…even our own players started believing the game was over.But then something changed.In Episode 90 of Summit After the Storm, Bart shares the emotional rollercoaster of a dramatic 13–13 tie against the best team in the league and the leadership lesson hidden inside it:Sometimes the greatest victory isn’t the scoreboard…it’s belief.This episode explores:⚾ Leadership under pressure⚾ Youth sports and confidence⚾ Momentum swings and resilience⚾ Why belief changes performance⚾ The mental side of competition⚾ How adversity reveals identityFrom bases-loaded pressure to a game-saving catch in foul territory, this became more than a baseball game.It became proof.Proof that fear can be overcome.Proof that underdogs can compete.Proof that sometimes a tie feels like a breakthrough.Because before people can win difficult battles…they first have to believe they belong in them.🎙️ Summit After the Storm with Bart WilbanksLeadership.

I almost checked my son out of school early for baseball practice.And honestly…it turned into a much bigger conversation about childhood, parenting, memories, and what really matters years later.In Episode 89 of Summit After the Storm, Bart shares a story about balancing academics, dyslexia support, baseball, and family priorities after a local coach invited Noah, Rhys, and Skyler to a special practice session.That moment triggered a childhood memory Bart never forgot:A fishing trip with his father…an argument about homework…and one simple sentence:“The homework can wait.”This episode explores:⚾ Parenting and balancing priorities⚾ Childhood memories that shape us forever⚾ Why connection matters more than productivity⚾ Raising kids in a high-pressure world⚾ Leadership lessons from family and baseballBecause years later…kids may not remember every assignment.But they will remember how we made them feel.🎙️ Summit After the Storm with Bart WilbanksLeadership.

A former player quit our baseball team a little over a week ago.Yesterday…I stayed at his school event just to tell him something simple:“I still care about you.”In Episode 88 of Summit After the Storm, Bart shares a deeply personal story about youth sports, anxiety, leadership, compassion, and why people need to know they matter beyond performance.After learning the quiet battle one young athlete had been fighting internally, Bart reflects on:⚾ Anxiety and hidden struggles in kids⚾ Leadership beyond wins and losses⚾ Why encouragement matters more than we realize⚾ The importance of showing up for people⚾ Caring about the person more than the performanceBecause sometimes the most important moments in leadership happen far away from the scoreboard.And sometimes the greatest thing we can give someone…is simply presence.🎙️ Summit After the Storm with Bart WilbanksLeadership.

Yesterday I discovered something I never expected.35% of Summit After the Storm listeners are from Japan.And across all podcast platforms, ~45% of this audience is from Asia.Honestly… it stunned me.This podcast started as simple stories about storms, mountains, leadership, faith, resilience, family, and the lessons I learned climbing Kilimanjaro.And somehow…those stories traveled halfway across the world.In this special short episode, Bart reflects on:🌍 The unexpected global reach of the podcast⛰️ Why struggle connects people across cultures🙏 Faith, resilience, and universal human storms✈️ Traveling the world while never having visited Asia… yet🎙️ An invitation for listeners across Asia to share their storiesBecause mountains may separate us geographically…but storms connect all of us.If you’re listening from Japan or anywhere in Asia, Bart would love to hear from you:bart@summitafterstorm.com🎙️ Summit After the Storm with Bart WilbanksLeadership.

We were three outs away from winning.Up 6–4.Then everything unraveled.Routine mistakes.Missed fundamentals.Carelessness under pressure.In Episode 87 of Summit After the Storm, Bart reflects on a heartbreaking 8–7 baseball loss that became a deeper lesson about leadership, discipline, focus, and life in the valley between the summits.Because most failures in life don’t begin with catastrophic moments.They begin with small lapses repeated over time.And eventually…pressure exposes everything underneath.This episode explores:⚾ Leadership during setbacks⚾ Why fundamentals matter in sports and life⚾ How adversity reveals character⚾ The danger of losing focus⚾ Why valleys often shape us more than victoriesFrom youth baseball to Kilimanjaro, this is a conversation about perseverance when life gets harder and the climb gets steeper.Because the summit may get the picture…but the valley builds the climber.🎙️ Summit After the Storm with Bart WilbanksLeadership.

We celebrate the milestones.21304050But what about everything in between?In Episode 86 of Summit After the Storm, Bart reflects on Mother’s Day, celebrating his mom, helping host a hilarious 40th birthday party, and the realization that life is mostly lived in the valley between the summits.The laughter.The memories.The people around the table.Too often we become so focused on achievement, success, leadership, and reaching the next mountain that we forget to enjoy the climb itself.This episode is about slowing down, being present, celebrating the people beside you, and remembering that joy is part of the journey too.Because one day, the moments we treasure most may not be the summits at all…but the laughter in between them.🎙️ Summit After the Storm with Bart Wilbankssummitafterstorm.comLeadership.
