Important Lessons for Roller Derby
Before I posted weird lessons. Now, let's talk important lessons. Some of these lessons are personal, some fall into the global category. Cross training is NOT an option. It is, in fact, a requirement. As you progress you are going to find you want to do better, be better, and something needs to be different to make that happen. Most of the time you need to cross train. Talk to your top skaters, find out what they do, work with your coaches and captains to get some things you can do at home or your gym. I also highly recommend checking out Roller Derby Athletics . For years I have sworn by Booty Quakes methods. Do NOT put duct tape on your skates! For the love of all that is holy and righteous, do not put duct tape on the toes of your skates. Get toe covers/toe guards instead. Why? Duct tape will stick, forever, and you will regret everything. It ruins leather and you'll likely be sad. Buy a good helmet! You are going to get a concussion no matter what if you knock you...
