Power Through the 4th Whistle Roller Derby Podcast

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. She gives a great perspective on your mindset while injured and ways to help your team and stay engaged from the sidelines. This episode was recorded immediately after the Saturday night game at the 2019 WFTDA International Championship in Montreal, Gotham vs VRDL where Gotham emerged victorious in a close, exciting match up! We also talk about her personal mission to stop the public stigma of living with mental illness and bring awareness by encouraging others to keep talking. Miss Tea Maven is an all around great person (and pretty funny too!). It would be wise to share this episode with anyone you think might need a listen.

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. There are plenty of ways to share your derby thankful message (try to keep it a minute or less): 1. 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.

Time to do another bracket prediction episode! ;-) I'm joined by my friend, Bellatrix LeStrangle and we'll guess which way these match ups are going to go based on some chatting about the seasons these teams have had, the players they have in their arsenals, and the importance of the home team advantage for Montreal.

What is the common theme of the last couple of episodes? It's about choosing your thoughts and taking control of your reactions. Are you going to let situations take you down or are you going to grow and learn from them? How do you get past fear of getting hurt or hurting others playing roller derby? Why should you visualize negative scenarios as well as positive? All these questions will be covered in this week's episode. 📷by David Oliver Photography Visit our sponsor, Bout Betties at https://boutbetties.com/.

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. Listen to Frau Pow on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frau-pow/id1436065528 Frau Pow was started by two roller derby teammates wanting to tackle uncomfortable conversations. They feature discussions on topics that you typically do not want to bring up at the dinner table, with the goal to normalize issues like depression and chronic illness. The hosts share the empowerment and support that they have found in the roller derby community. No prior experience in the sport required! Visit our sponsor, Bout Betties at https://boutbetties.com/.

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! Happy to finally get to it. :-) 📷by Brittany Nolan featuring Roots Visit our sponsor, Bout Betties at https://boutbetties.com/.
