| 178 - Beyond Skill: What It Really Takes to Make a Top 8 World Cup Team | 08 juil. 2025 | 01:18:04 | |
In this episode, I go backstage at the Roller Derby World Cup for interviews with skaters and coaches from USA, Australia, Sweden, Argentina, and Canada. From grueling gym sessions to recovering from injury, these athletes share the physical and emotional work it takes to earn a spot on one of the most competitive rosters in our sport. You’ll hear candid reflections on pressure, preparation, and personal growth—plus some powerful advice they'd give to their younger derby selves. Coaches open up about what they really look for beyond skill: how you take feedback, communication, attitude, and being a true team player. I originally wanted to do this all in one episode, but I split it into two because it was too epic! So come back next time for my World Cup experience recap. How did the World Cup apply the lessons learned from Champs 2024? Watch for the next one, coming soon! Big thanks to Sugars, Bloctopus, Jambi, and Slamazon from Team Australia; Coach Optimus Quad and Wari from Team Argentina; Coach Bille and Fanilla Slice from Team Sweden; Dizzy Izzy, Diamond, Loren Mutch, and Coach Vito from USA Roller Derby; and Coach D-Ray, KT Kaboom, and Cooper from Team Canada for taking the time for interviews during the World Cup and thanks to Dolly (Australia), Michael (USA), and the hero on Canada's instagram for wrangling.

| 163 - Imposter Syndrome in Roller Derby: Lead Jammer or Just Lucky? | 03 juin 2025 | 00:49:33 | |
In this episode, I revisit a topic that’s been echoing through my conversations lately—Imposter Syndrome. I’ve heard it from teammates, podcast listeners, even my own inner voice. Six years after my original episode on the subject, so much has changed—for all of us. I share personal stories, lessons from coaching, and mental tools that have helped me rebuild my confidence through injury, self-doubt, and setbacks. If you've ever felt like a fraud, minimized your accomplishments, or struggled to internalize your success, this episode is packed with real talk and actionable strategies to help you push back on those beliefs. You’re not alone—and you can change the story you tell yourself. Photo by Jason Lome aka lomeranger No World Cup interview this week, but please support Team Greece!

In this episode, I share six ways to build trust and earn respect in your roller derby league. These are lessons I've picked up over the last 15 years as a skater, captain, and now as a coach.

| 155 - Don't THINK. ACT! | 08 avr. 2025 | 00:40:06 | |
How do you create a chemical reaction between yourself and a teammate? How do you create inspiration? Practice is good for developing fundamental skills, but not for deploying those skills under pressure. In a game, things never turn out exactly the way you planned. But there's a way to break through -- improvisation. Photo by Ciara Janae Photography This podcast is brought to you by Roller Derby Athletics.

| 127 - Small League Survival Guide | 16 mai 2021 | 00:53:03 | |
Coach Dan is here! After last week's episode about taking on obstacles, I wanted to follow up a topic we've been wanting to discuss for a long time. What are the challenges smaller leagues tackle regularly? And what can small leagues do to survive? All leagues around the world have been wondering about their mortality as of late, but we fear small leagues will be hit the hardest and since the majority of leagues in the world are small (like our own league), we want to show them some love with this episode. 📷 by Ciara Janae Find our transcribed episodes on our Patreon page at https://www.patreon.com/power4thwhistle.

| 126 - Facing Obstacles Unlocks Your Superpowers! (aka Play the Unplayable Piano) | 25 avr. 2021 | 00:41:26 | |
In this episode, I'm sharing stories of how obstacles pushed people to new creative heights and made them try things they never would have attempted otherwise and how we can relate this to our growth as roller derby athletes and taking on challenges our leagues and teams face regularly (especially after last year, amiright?). Bottom line -- experimenting with obstacles and facing your challenges head on can unlock superpowers you didn't know you had!

Many listeners have been wondering, what is it going to be like to return to play? And how do we help our coaches use the new curriculum? In this week's episode, I was joined by Chili, Coach of Pink Peril Roller Derby in the Netherlands and member of the WFTDA Task Force for the new curriculum, This Is Roller Derby. Chili's league got to return to play for several months last summer and shares the story of the league's challenges. He also elaborated on how he has been implementing the core values of the curriculum for his league while sharing tips for all the coaches out there listening.

| 123 - What if...? (on HBO's "Women of Troy" documentary) | 07 mars 2021 | 00:36:04 | |
What if Michael Jordan's injury in his second season in the NBA was the end of his story and we never heard from him again? This episode is a Story Time with Jackie episode! Based on the HBO documentary "Women of Troy", I'll be telling you the story of Cheryl Miller and the rest of the USC basketball team that changed women's basketball forever. This amazing team made up of Cheryl Miller, Pam and Paula McGee, Cynthia Cooper, and more changed the sport and challenged issues of gender and race. This team got the world's attention and laid the groundwork for being a professional sport today. What if Cheryl Miller hadn't gotten injured and became the most famous professional athlete in the world? How would the world be different? I can't help but compare this journey to roller derby and wonder....what if?... 📷 by USC Athletics You can watch the 1983 Championship USC vs Louisiana Tech on Youtube!

| 122 - Answers to YOUR Questions about the New Curriculum!! (featuring special guest members of the Task Force) | 07 févr. 2021 | 00:39:58 | |
We're moving into a new era of roller derby without minimum skill requirements! This means we can get more people involved in the sport and playing the sport more quickly. But what does that look like? Do we still do tests? Are laps gone forever? This episode will be very beneficial to your team and league as an introduction to the new curriculum. Our guides on this quest are special guests who all worked on the curriculum as part of the WFTDA MSR Task Force. We dive into the history of the task force, the research into how other sports looked at the skill level of their players, the goals, the challenges, and answers to the frequently asked questions about the future of what roller derby will be.

| 119 - Identity Loss and Post Traumatic Growth | 11 oct. 2020 | 00:44:51 | |
This week, I want to talk about Identity Loss after Trauma and Post Traumatic Growth. I think this is a very relatable topic because even though I came to it through concussion recovery, I feel like these ideas are sooo applicable to so many situations in life so I think I can reach every one of you out there with this one and I love it when an episode can touch everyone. Trauma could be a concussion (It's called traumatic brain injury!), any type of injury, maybe being diagnosed with a chronic illness, a traumatic incident in your life or even a world-wide pandemic perhaps. This has been a traumatic experience for many around the world and I’d argue we all have a bit of trauma to one degree or another from living through these times. Any incident in your life that makes you see the world as "Before" and "After" leaves you at a crossroads figuring out who you are and who you can be going forward as a better athlete, teammate, leader, and human being.
