Roller Derby Mental Notes

New derby goal: actually get an action derby shot without me making an elephant man face!

Personal Mantra - don't hate me, motivate me.

Somedays I just want to give up because I feel like I will never be good enough and maybe I will never be that go to jammer or game changing blocker but if I give up too soon then I'm just guaranteeing it.

The nastiest scars I have from roller derby are the ones I have on my heart.

A derby rush is like a sugar rush but with more aggression!

Wheel Notes...

I didn't think I was the type to be susceptible to abuse until I joined roller derby.

Yes, there are more important things in life then a sport, I just can't seem to fit that stuff in my practice schedule.

Sometimes during rough games the stars on a jammer panty are kind of ironic.

Smile when you get knocked down because you'll be even stronger when you get back up.

Roller Derby takes as much brains as brawn.

Big blockers can say things like "order me a large pizza I got a game this week and need to keep my weight up".

If you are serious about this sport expect to drop as many tears as you will beads of sweat.

Like beauty, derby skills are in the eye of the beholder.

There is no greater sadness then travel team try-outs and an early period.

Hi I play roller derby and I'm DerbyRexic. I totally think I'm better than I am. Turns out this ailment is pretty common :-)
