| 178 - Beyond Skill: What It Really Takes to Make a Top 8 World Cup Team | 08 Jul 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.

| 075 - Pregnancy, Returning to Derby, and Finding Balance in Life as Parents and Skaters with Special Guests Liz and Siren | 08 Dec 2019 | 00:52:46 | |
In this episode, I asked for the help of two of my teammates -- Lizzy Luscious and Siren Song to ask about their experience going through pregnancy, returning to training for roller derby, and finding balance in their new lives as parents. What was it like telling the team? Did they step away from derby or stay close by? How quickly did they return to skating? Roller derby isn't every part of our lives, but it DOES make our lives better. You can carve out time for you and time for family. If you set boundaries, you really CAN have it all.

We have a special guest this week!! Miss Tea Maven is an all star jammer who skates for Gotham Girls Roller Derby. She sustained a serious knee injury earlier this year and is on the journey of getting stronger and coming back BETTER than ever.

Want to be on the podcast? I want to hear from YOU! This time of year in the United States, we take a moment to stop and appreciate the things we are thankful for in our lives...like roller derby! Roller derby has changed our lives in so many ways: physically, mentally, emotionally...we've gotten to meet new people and go new places. What are you thankful for in derby this year? A person? A favorite piece of gear or pair of skates? A shark punching moment? It could be anything that is special to you.

Voicemail: Leave me a voice message by going to this link on Safari web browser: https://anchor.fm/power-through-the-4th-whistle or look up our show on the Anchor app. 2. Use your phone: Take a Voice memo or video using your phone and send it to me in a FB message: https://www.facebook.com/powerthru4thwhistle/ or e-mail power4thwhistle@gmail.com. I can take the audio off it no problem. 3. Social Media: Post your video on social media and tag @power4thwhistle on Instagram or Twitter or our FB page on FB with the #powergratitude. If you want to make sure I found it, send me a lil message. ;-) 4. DM: If none of these sound appealing, just send a written message on FB or e-mail or DM on Twitter @power4thwhistle or Instagram @power4thwhistle. Deadline is the Tuesday night before Thanksgiving. That way I can edit it together on Wednesday and have it ready for Thursday. :-) This is our second audience participation episode and I’m super psyched! | |||

Happy Spooktober! Halloween is almost here! The topic of drama has been on the list for this podcast since the very beginning. But how do you tackle a topic like drama? To give it some stakes we can all (ahem) sink our teeth into? Welcome to the Zombie Apocalypse. I'll be discussing (with lots of help from spooky metaphors ;-) ) the symptoms and situations that lead to drama with tips to combat drama and its effects in your organization. Don't let your family get killed off by zombies! Here are MY RULES for surviving the Zombieland of Roller Derby.

The hosts share the empowerment and support that they have found in the roller derby community. No prior experience in the sport required! | |||
| 067 - Rookie Skater Challenges & Mindset | 20 Oct 2019 | 00:49:13 | |
This is a tough one where the focus is on helping rookie skaters. What happens if you don't pass your minimum skills right away? Is finishing those 27 laps in 5 minutes a struggle? Are you getting frustrated and discouraged when others pass ahead of you? Do you feel left behind? Are you losing motivation and don't want to go to practice anymore? Bookmark or save this one in some way, I think there’s going to be several skaters and coaches who need this sent to them. This episode was suggestion by multiple listeners!

And I didn't mention it in the episode because I couldn't find it online, but the MVP for the weekend was Klein of Denver Roller Derby, well deserved with 100% lead and 0 points against for the Crime City game and only 2 penalties ALL weekend.

| 054 - Change Your Self Limiting Beliefs (with special guest!) | 18 Aug 2019 | 00:53:49 | |
This episode, I was joined by Grant Porteous, Owner/Life Coach & Consultant at Intentional Life Coaching & Consulting to learn about how to conquer and change self limiting beliefs. It turns out there is a LOT of science behind our ability as humans to rewire our brains and set ourselves on new neural pathways to success. We form 90% of our beliefs by age 7 based on experience. You have an experience, you assess the experience, reinforce it with an emotion, and come to a decision or belief about the experience which then becomes wired into your brain and informs your other experiences going forward depending on how impactful it was. Over time, you will see more and more experiences as aligning with your already developed belief and reinforcing it and not notice the evidence that goes against your belief. (Ex: "I'm no good at relationships; Dogs don't like me; Things work out for other people but not for me; If you want something done right, you must do it yourself, etc.) But NO MORE! It doesn't have to BE this way! We are going to cover FOUR STEPS to replace negative beliefs that limit us with positive beliefs that will allow action and give us room to grow and learn. We also talk a bit about visualization as an important way to cement that new vision of what you want in your mind. Have a question for Grant?

| 155 - Don't THINK. ACT! | 08 Apr 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.

| 051 - MVP Psychology | 04 Aug 2019 | 00:58:02 | |
What does an MVP look like? What are the qualities we can all agree on? What are the reasons your opponent might pass you over for someone else? Is awarding MVPs an outdated practice? Is this a "BS award" that doesn't mean anything as some people like to say? Or is this still a worthy goal players can aspire to as a benchmark in their roller derby journey? This episode does a deep dive into the five factors other teams consider when choosing MVPs at the end of a game PLUS four ways you can increase your chances of becoming an MVP yourself if this is your goal.

| 043 - 7 Ways to Lose Your Team's Trust | 10 Jun 2019 | 01:04:50 | |
Coach Dan returns in this episode! Together we discuss 7 big ways to lose your team's trust (the 7 Deadly Sins of Coaching if you will). Trust is not something you automatically get when you decide to become a coach. Trust has to be earned. And it can be easily lost if you lose your way and slip up. We'll discuss the flip side, how to avoid these pitfalls and honestly communicate with the members of your team. Next week I am asking for audience participation and we are discussing Bout Day Rituals! Feel free to send in your special bout day rituals/routines in a voice message of 1 minute or less by clicking on the voice message link below. To send a voice message, go to THIS LINK on a SAFARI web browser: https://anchor.fm/power-through-the-4th-whistle or from the Anchor app itself.
