You can’t get last season back. You can make this one the reason last season makes sense.

Last year is fixed in place, and nothing you do now reaches back to change it. What is still open is what it turns out to have been for, and that gets settled by the next stretch rather than the last one. A season of losing becomes the groundwork for something or it becomes nothing, depending entirely on what follows it.

Name one specific thing last year taught you that a good one would not have. Build this season around using it rather than around making up for anything. Then leave the old footage alone except for the parts you are actually working on.
