Stop Waiting for Life to Calm Down: Slayher’s Story of Progress, Balance & Derby

Thu, 10 Sep 2026 04:00:00 -0700

What if the secret to becoming a better roller derby athlete isn’t finding more time, but learning how to make progress inside the life you already have?

In this episode, Head Coach Original Cyn sits down with Heather “Slayher” Damron to talk about navigating derby alongside parenting, career changes, divorce, injury recovery and all the chaos that doesn’t conveniently disappear just because you have athletic goals.

Slayher shares how coaching helped her stop waiting for the “right time,” build training around her actual life and discover just how connected everything really is. From earning a coach’s award in her first game with a new league to receiving praise from higher-level skaters, she found that her biggest breakthroughs came from focusing on the process rather than chasing perfection.

Cyn and Slayher dig into off-skates training, fueling for performance, learning from mistakes, asking for support and why prioritizing yourself isn’t selfish. As Slayher puts it, “It’s not selfish, it’s supportive.”

The big takeaway? Stop waiting for life to calm down. Build your goals around the life you’re living right now.

Roller Derby Mental Fortitude + Bench Energy During Games

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 04:00:00 -0700

Getting benched, pulled from a rotation, or asked to carry more responsibility can quickly affect your confidence and performance. In this episode, Head Coach Cyn explains how to mentally prepare for every role on a roller derby team without letting your lineup define your value.

We cover:

why your role can change without your value changing
the mental challenges faced by primary, supporting, and ready athletes
how to reset after mistakes instead of carrying them into the next jam
how supporting players can measure impact instead of attention
how to stay engaged and prepared while waiting on the bench
the three mental skills every athlete needs: presence, ownership, and contribution

Key takeaway: your role is a temporary assignment, not your identity. High-level athletes train themselves to stay present, contribute to the team, and remain ready regardless of how much track time they receive.

Building a Stronger Mental Toolkit On and Off the Track

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 04:00:00 -0700

In this episode of the Krash Course Roller Derby Podcast, we share a client's Study, Practice, Teach intensive on building a stronger mental toolkit on and off the track.

We talk about how negative thought patterns can impact confidence, performance, and joy in roller derby, and how Socratic questioning can help us challenge those thoughts instead of letting them run the show.

We cover:

why mindset work matters as much as physical training
how cognitive distortions show up in derby
the thought, feeling, behavior cycle
how to question negative self-talk in real time
why “I suck at this” is rarely the full truth
how to create space between a thought and your response

How to Ask for Help at Roller Derby Practice Without Feeling Like a Burden

Thu, 28 May 2026 04:00:00 -0700

In this episode of the Krash Course Roller Derby Podcast, we talk about how to ask for help at roller derby practice without feeling like a burden and why staying quiet might be the thing holding your progress back.

We cover:

why skaters avoid asking for help (fear of looking bad, slowing practice, or losing opportunities)
how not asking leads to slower progress, overthinking, and disconnection from your team
the mindset shift: asking for help is ownership, not weakness
practical ways to ask for help effectively (be specific, ask at the right time, apply feedback, involve teammates, and stop apologizing)

Key takeaway: the skaters who improve the fastest are the ones who ask questions, take up space, and actively seek feedback.

the four keys to becoming a strong communicator: commit to being heard, communicate from the first rep, build fitness to support communication, and step into leadership

Active Recovery and Recovery Protocols (With Coach Gwennie)

Thu, 14 May 2026 04:00:00 -0700

In this episode of the Krash Course Roller Derby Podcast, we break down what recovery actually means for roller derby athletes and why it is a non-negotiable part of performance, not a luxury.

We cover:

why derby places unique stress on the body (impact, rotation, and nervous system load)
the difference between active recovery and passive recovery
why soreness is not the same as progress
common recovery mistakes skaters make
how to use the “Big Five” recovery pillars: sleep, nutrition, mobility, hot/cold, and nervous system care

Key takeaway: you do not get stronger during training, you get stronger during recovery.

If you want to skate longer, stay healthy, and perform consistently, recovery has to be intentional, not an afterthought.

stop comparing ourselves to pre-break versions
rebuild confidence through small wins
train the movements we are scared of at lower intensity
fix off-skates training so it actually supports derby
detach our identity from single bad reps, jams, or practices

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 04:00:00 -0700

Why most training isn’t translating to performance

Roller Derby Quick Feet Unlocked (With Coach Pia)

In this episode of the Krash Course Roller Derby Podcast, we break down what quick feet and agility actually mean in roller derby and why they matter for both jammers and blockers.

What skaters are really missing when they say they want “faster feet”
How agility shows up differently for jammers and blockers
Why blockers need agility just as much as jammers
The difference between off-skates agility work and on-skates application
Common mistakes skaters make when training agility
Why better agility leads to better decision making under pressure

In this episode of the Krash Course Roller Derby Podcast, we break down how to review game footage like an athlete instead of turning it into a self-criticism spiral.

We cover:

Why you should never watch footage with no plan
The power of multiple “passes” with different intentions

What jammers and blockers should actually be looking for

The Honest Truth About The Road From Aspiring Athlete to Allstar with Peacewar

Thu, 16 Dec 2021 06:00:00 -0800

So you wanna be an all-star do ya?

Let's be real, it is easy to fall in love with roller derby.

What is NOT easy is turning that LOVE for the sport into actual TALENT.

And I think it is important to understand what it takes to go down the road of pursuing roller derby greatness.

From my own aspiring athlete to all-star journey I learned that there were 3 KEY THINGS I had to surrender to in order to elevate my own athleticism.

1. Surrender to the process.

You're going to suck... until you don't. This may take some people longer than others but each skill and strategy must be learned and your pace is up to you.

2. Surrender to the lifestyle.

Becoming a badass athlete involves living life like a badass athlete. Workouts, fuel, rest. Doing the things you need to do even when you don't feel like doing them.

3. Surrender to the team.

You won't get very far being an individual skater. You might look cool on the track, blasting jammers into outer space but as you elevate to the highest levels of derby, solo players don't win games. Teams do.

There are many hero's journeys of little fresh meat who made it all the way to the top and I am honored to bring you a podcast with one of the derby greats, Peacewar. In this podcast, we dive into what it truly took to go from newbie to Texas Rollergirls all-star.

For The LOVE of SKATE with Freight Train

Wed, 17 Nov 2021 06:00:00 -0800

Skate or Die

Roller Derby Saved My Soul

For The Love of SKATE

I think it is safe to say that if you are reading this email, living life on 8 wheels has impacted your life in a proud way at some point or another.

I know for me, roller derby has altered the entire path of my life.

From smoker, drinker, fast food eater, and lost soul to all star athlete, and changer of other peoples lives, for me that transformation started at the age of 24 when i found roller derby.

Some people were lucky enough to have been practically born on skates.
Freight Train, is an unstoppable force on the track and a fun and undeniable bad ass off the track as well.

I had a chance to catch up with her almost 7 years after our last encounter on the track to talk about the impact that skate has on the evolution of our lives and how our relationship to skating can evolve over the years.

I am so excited to share this episode of the KKP with you

Need To Reconnect? Do This Grounding Meditation

Wed, 10 Nov 2021 00:00:00 -0800

One of the most unexpected benefits of moving to Costa Rica has been losing my shoes and walking EVERYWHERE barefoot.

Being connected to the actual earth has changed so much about my life.

I am more present, feel calmer, and have developed a deeper connection to the planet.

Just by losing my shoes.

Now, if you live in a city or anywhere with a ton of concrete, I dont recommend walking around barefoot as it can be really hard on your bones.

However, DO TAKE TIME TO TAKE YOUR SHOW OFF AND GROUND YOURSELF BACK INTO THE EARTH.

How do you ground?

Simple, lose he shoes, find some dirt or sand or other non man made material and relax in it for a bit.

Sit or stand, it doesnt matter.

Take some time to pause and sink it.

I do this several times a day now both intentionally and unintentionally.

If you arent living in the jungle and walking around barefoot all day, I made you a 15 minute grounding meditation that you can do ANYWHERE outside.

The Reality Behind The "Perfect Body" with Maddy Karlsson

Wed, 03 Nov 2021 00:00:00 -0700

I used to chase "skinny" so I could be happy.

I always thought that LEAN = HAPPY

But the reality is, even at my "skinniest" I still was picking apart every area of my body.

It wasnt until I learned to treat fitness as a form of self care and instead of punishment that I could finally love the body I have while also working towards keeping that body healthy.

I had a great conversation with my friend Madeleine Karlson about body image, self care, and self love and how to work on all 3.

Unlock Your Potential Using Human Design with Yolanda Boyarin

Wed, 06 Oct 2021 00:00:00 -0700

We are all looking for ways to better understand ourselves and how to interact with he world around us.

I have been hearing about human design for YEARS and I have finally gotten the down low on how his whole thing works.

Here is the basic idea:

The Human Design System is a synthesis of ancient and modern sciences, and has proven to be a valuable tool for human understanding.

With Human Design you discover what makes you different from everyone else.

It offers profound insights into your psychology, along with strategies and techniques for making correct decisions and ultimately leading to a life of more ease and fulfillment.

It is not built on belief or faith but is a logical, empirical system that offers you the opportunity to experiment with its mechanics and find out if it works for you.

Once you start experimenting with the knowledge, you may experience changes in your perspective.

Over time, this helps you learn what brings fulfillment. Everyone has a Signature — peace, satisfaction, success or surprise—that comes when they are living in accordance with their true nature.

A lessening of resistance in the form of anger, frustration, bitterness or disappointment is the end result.

I spent some time chatting with Yolanda Boyarin, owner of Manifest Mad Money, who is a specialist in Human Design.

He helped me understand how Human Design works and we chat about the power of Manifestation. Her uncle legit manifested winning the lottery. Crazy story!
