Power Through the 4th Whistle Roller Derby Podcast

PLAYOFF SEASON continues!! Time to do another bracket prediction episode! ;-) I'll be getting in the car and driving 12 hours to Pennsylvania to announce at the cup, but for now I'll tell you all about about the seasons these 12 teams have had this year, players to watch, and if you want a preview of what to expect, I picked a game that is available for streaming for each team that really shows what they're about and what they can do in a close match up. This is an interesting weekend and there are some notable roster changes from the regular season that might impact the results and team chemistry during this tournament. It's cup season, these games could all go either way and the cup bracket is ripe with opportunities for upsets! If you're at the tournament, come by and say hi! I'll try to post what I'm up to on the socials.

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?

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 Is awarding MVPs an outdated practice?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. We are joined by special guests this week from the Small Town Outlaws, Violet Rage and Tabby Katastrophe! Visit our sponsor, Bout Betties at https://boutbetties.com/.
