How do our left brain and right brain process learning something new? Also would a different way of training our skaters take all the emotional psychology out of the equation and let us focus on learning a new skill?

"Can we skate or what?!?" is what many have been asking.

WFTDA hosted a Skate of the Union to update the community on....everything. The upcoming revisions to Return to Play Guidelines, putting Community over Competition, Regional Recovery, a Covid Recovery Fund, and updates from the ART Project working toward equity and non-racism. I'll do my best to fill you in on what's happening in this quickie episode.

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.

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! Inspired by the Cautionary Tales Podcast by Tim Harford, check it out!

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.

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?...

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.

Where you started does NOT determine how far you will go. Anything IS possible.

This episode is about:

  • my continued recovery from Post Concussion Syndrome
  • how using self compassion instead of a drill sergeant mentality whenever you are making lifestyle changes can help you better on your journey long term
  • how exercise impacts cognitive growth in your brain (wow!)
  • what I've been watching during the break that I really think you'll enjoy.

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.

Power Through the 4th Whistle will be taking an off season until January 2021. Thank you, everyone for listening and sharing this podcast with others and enjoy the massive backlog of content if you need a PT4W fix. :-)

Let's talk about derby names! How do you pick one out? Are derby names necessary? Are derby names outdated? What do derby names mean to you?

Special note: When picking out a derby name, please please take time to evaluate if your derby name could be hurtful to any group of people. If you're not sure, run it by several people of different backgrounds that you trust to help.

This week, I want to go into detail of the different types of concussion symptoms and what different types of specialists you can follow up with in your recovery. In the second half, I talk about advocating for your own health care when you are injured, particularly if you have bad health insurance. I want to help you with avoiding getting shuffled around, asking the right questions, finding out the different options you have, getting multiple opinions, and when you are FINALLY in front of the right specialist, making sure you get the right treatment.

In this episode, Coach Dan and I discuss the newly announced Vision and Objectives that have been released by the WFTDA concerning the future of Minimum Skill Requirements. New curriculum? No more official test?? Program recommended but not required?? What does the future of roller derby look like when the individual leagues determine qualifications for playing derby? What pressure does this put on coaches and leadership? Will more skaters come back to roller derby? Will there be favoritism? And biggest of all, does this mean NO MORE 27 IN 5?!?

"You're leading people. You're not leading data." (Iggy Perillo)

We have a special guest this week! Leadership Coach Iggy Perillo is on the podcast and we talk about helping our leaders in roller derby evolve, how to cultivate new leaders, setting up new leaders for success, and why leading with organizational skills (being the boss of spreadsheets) won't cut it anymore.

This week, I'm doing some story telling and share the top four level up moments from my roller derby career. These were instances where I rose to a particular challenge and something changed in me to make me a more confident, resilient, and mentally tough athlete. By sharing these crucial moments from my own development that have helped me in my daily life, I hope they resonate with you as well.

What are some of YOUR Level Up stories? Please share them with me! It would be good for my soul to hear them. Contact me any of the usual ways. :-)

That's right. This week, I'm talking about Animal Crossing: New Horizons. What effect does this video game have on perfectionists? How about coping with expectations vs reality? How does this game help us with asking others for help? What does this game teach about forming and building relationships? What are YOU doing in your roller derby league that makes people want to move off your island? What can you do to make your island (league) more welcoming to others? Invite Pascal the Otter because we're going for some deep thoughts in this one.

Some of us want to be super duper serious in roller derby and achieve way hard. Some of us don't want to play this sport unless it's fun. How do we find the balance? I share the story of Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal butting heads over their different personality types and experiences with different roller derby leagues and how we tackled this age old dilemma.

If roller derby goes away, are we still friends? Or is this all our relationship is built on?

This week's podcast starts off examining different types of relationships and their foundation. Then our main focus is the FIVE stages of organizational culture that determine what you can achieve together. How do you overcome trust issues, apathy, and sarcasm? How do you put aside egos and constant squabbling to unite for the good of all? How can you use a crisis or common enemy to come together?

This week continues the multi-part series on Michael Jordan, Phil Jackson, and the Chicago Bulls. As I share the story of championships 2 thru 6, we see Michael Jordan's continued evolution as a leader when leadership by example is no longer enough, finding fuel to drive him in each battle, Phil Jackson's creative coaching and encouragement of a journey of self exploration for his players, the "enemy's gift", and the steps to self-actualization.

What does it mean to be relentless? What would it be like to shed your fears, failures, and worries about the expectations of others? What would it be like not to hold back anymore and be true to yourself?

This week is part 1 of two episodes inspired by The Last Dance, the documentary that explores the career of Michael Jordan and the championship journey of the Chicago Bulls.

This episode, I spoke with Punchy O'Guts of 4EYES Coaching + Publications. Punchy is invested in using positivity, compassion, and forward-thinking to connect with, challenge, and inspire athletes. Punchy has published FIVE manuals for training those in roller derby as well as several articles in Five on Five Magazine.

This conversation focuses on a curriculum for safely returning to training on the track. What should we watch for? How do we know when our skaters are ready for the next stage? (apart from WFTDA guidelines, of course)

Then we turn to the topic of Inclusive Coaching. To quote Punchy's blog: "Coaches have an incredible amount of power. It’s so important to acknowledge the power we have and use our leadership role to make derby culture more inclusive and safe. We can make intentional decisions so that our behavior, decisions, and language are not focused on creating a space that is only safe for white, cis folks. We must actively choose to create a space that is inclusive and safe for marginalized folks."

We need to address racism in ourselves and in our teams and leagues. Don't juke around it. Break through the wall. It's a harder path and can be really uncomfortable at times, but we can come out stronger on the other side. Do the work.

In this episode, I talk about the broader meaning of words we have heard for decades. We can't go further in our pursuit of Anti-Racism in roller derby and our lives until we understand more about what these words mean. I'll be sharing a couple examples of what this looks like in roller derby and want to give a trigger warning in advance for any BIPOC who don't have the space to deal with that right now. I believe changing our systems and way of thinking about racism has to take place before we can go on a mission of recruitment for people of color to join our leagues. We can’t bring them in until we take some meaningful steps to make our house better before we invite people over. There are cracks in the foundation and we’ve been throwing a rug over it and not noticing they exist. Then I’ll go over some examples of how to approach meaningful interactions to help correct these problematic situations one on one. How do we talk to someone when they say something racially problematic? And how can we receive this information graciously when we make a mistake ourselves? Let's hold each other accountable and move forward together.

This week, we get to learn about the inspirational journey and competitive mindset of Erin Jackson.

Erin Jackson is a jammer for Jacksonville Roller Derby AND Team USA Roller Derby. Erin grew up in inline speed skating with many national championships and was named Female Athlete of the Year for Roller Sports three times. Months after learning to ice skate, surprising everyone including herself, she qualified for the 500 meters long track speed skating event at the 2018 Winter Olympics. It was also announced in early May that Erin is on the US Speedskating Long Track National Team for 2020-2021. Did I mention she’s doing all of this while furthering her education?

“Don’t stop having conversations because it’s uncomfortable. I’ve been uncomfortable 32 years of my life. It’s ok for white people to be uncomfortable for the next couple years if it means that everyone is going to be equal and not judged because my skin is different...

Social Media has given people this keyboard warrior mentality where they just say awful things about human beings. Ok, this person messed up and they’re trying to remedy it. NOPE! Once this person, always this person and there’s no rehabilitation and you’re awful and you should jump off a cliff. What in the world has our community and culture come to?...I think the issue is that we’re calling people out with no resolution.”

Please share this episode...the message is really important.

This week's topics are racism and call-out culture in the world of roller derby. The special guest is Baller Shot Caller. Baller has played for Gold Coast Roller Grrls, Atlanta Roller Derby, and Team USA Roller Derby and has been voted as captain for all three. She excels at jamming and blocking and often plays as pivot and is a traveling coach with Tuff Love Coaching.

To celebrate our very special 100th episode, I am giving an audio letter of gratitude to Bonnie D. Stroir. She inspired me on my path to becoming a better athlete, teammate, leader, and human being.

I met Bonnie D. Stoir in 2013 about a month before she retired from roller derby after skating and coaching for over a decade. Bonnie D. Stroir was the first full time traveling roller derby coach and she spread her lessons all over the world, but it was more than just skating. It was about bettering yourself as a person in interpersonal communication and conflict management, treating yourself with compassion and improving your ability to learn, and developing leadership skills to inspire others and pulling the greatest potential out of the people you lead. In this episode, along with my sincere thanks, I am sharing lessons I learned from her that made the biggest impact on developing myself and others over the years to become as awesome as we could be in one lifetime.

When we met, I was at a crossroads in my derby career and wasn't sure if I'd make it another season. She opened my eyes to new ways of leading, communicating, and learning that gave me hope for the future again. If our paths hadn't crossed, I don't know if this podcast would exist.

People love complaining. It seems harmless, it connects us as human beings when we can vent to each other or agree with each other on social media. Venting seems to make us feel better. It makes us feel less alone. But what does it really do? You might get a positive boost from that connection but what happens afterward?

We can improve our health and wellbeing, enhance our relationships, encourage healthy sleep, heighten feelings of connectedness and so much more...through the practice of gratitude. I'm going to take you through the science based research on the topic and all the benefits and share ways to express gratitude that go beyond the homework assignment of keeping a journal and are more sustainable for your life.

Releasing this special episode with Double H a day early!

In this episode, we discuss the future of roller derby and the big questions that are always being asked. Should roller derby be an Olympic sport? Will roller derby become a professional sport? Will there be a future where I tell someone I play roller derby and they DON'T ask if I elbow people? What's with the pay gap for women's sports and how is the pandemic affecting this? And the big one -- what does the return to play plan look like and when can we start playing roller derby again?

Erica Vanstone (Double H) is the Executive Director of the WFTDA. Erica previously acted as the organization’s Chief Media Officer, where she developed the mission-forward broadcast program, WFTDA.tv. After working in the film and television industries for more than a decade, Erica began a career in nonprofit management and sports. She has acted as an announcer for the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, the Arena Football League, and more. Erica is dedicated to expanding perspectives of inclusion around women’s sports and is shaping the WFTDA vision for transformation as it continues its mission to improve and grow the sport of roller derby and its service to the derby community.

Where do I even begin? Bonnie Thunders has accomplished sooo much in this sport! Teams and players change their strategy and playing style to defend against her jamming. Bonnie makes others into better players by bringing it every day. Bonnie started playing roller derby in 2006 with Gotham Girls Roller Derby, later transferred to her current team, Rose City Rollers, and played with Team USA in the Roller Derby World Cup every year it has happened. Bonnie has competed at the TOP LEVEL of our sport setting a standard for us all for over a decade. Bonnie is goals.

Topics we discuss in this episode include the importance of fundamentals, creating challenges for yourself at practice so you can win games, how her mental toughness has helped her rise to the occasion again and again, and the evolving lessons she has learned over the years about leadership.

Do you feel like you don't quite "fit in" with your team or league? Do you struggle as a leader influencing your teammates? Do you find yourself in conflict more than collaboration? This week, I'm sharing lessons I learned from Dale Carnegie's book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People" written in 1936 that have helped me grow as a teammate and leader in roller derby.

I researched the history of the sport of roller derby from 1935 to 1999. From Leo Seltzer and Transcontinental Roller Derby to RollerGames of the 1980s... What a strange journey our sport has had! The endurance races, the staged fighting, the Alligator pit, RollerGames the video game...there is SO MUCH to unpack here.

“It’s so easy to fall in love with roller derby when you’re part of something bigger than yourself that pushes you.”

We have a special guest this week -- Loren Mutch!! After starting out in junior derby, Loren Mutch became a jammer for the Rose City Rollers in Portland, Oregon. She played in the gold medal game at WFTDA Championships the last six years in a row! Mutch was named MVP of Champs in 2014 and won the Hydra with Rose City...four times. Besides being A-MAZING at roller derby and one of the most driven athletes in our sport, Loren Mutch is very sweet, humble, and delightful to talk to.

Topics we discuss in this episode include growing up in roller derby, grappling with being defined by roller derby, remembering your productivity is not equal to your worth, using energy with a purpose on the track, being spicy, the key to speed, and "Mutch" more. ;-)

This episode is about the journey of growth, learning, and rising to challenges as an athlete and human being. I share some framing devices for when you are confronted with setbacks and turning them into challenges. Plus a bit of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance", Stoic Philosophy from Seneca, and....video game mindset.

There's no better way to grow our wonderful sport than by getting other people emotionally invested. How do you do that? With stories. Let's celebrate the history of roller derby by sharing stories of major accomplishments, rivalries, and fierce competition.

This is the story of the highest scoring jam in roller derby that is NOT on the greatest of all time list...but it should be. Because it features two of the best teams in the world duking it out at the highest levels of game play at a medal game at Champs.

This week, we are joined by Bork Bork Bork of Windy City Rollers. Windy City had large turnover in 2015 and made organizational and cultural changes to rebuild their league over the next FIVE YEARS. (Yes, it takes a LONG time to rebuild!) Bork shares how it was done and the important areas of focus in the process as well as ways to stay better organized as a league.

Plus that BIG question -- how do you get people to do things they don't want to do and help out with the league?

Why do I talk about Harry Potter in this episode?!??! You'll have to listen to find out. ;-) Continuing from our last episode of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, this episode focuses on asking for help. Why do we struggle with this in general? Is it a badge of honor to do it all on our own? Is admitting we aren't perfect or have it all figured out so bad? Let's talk about how asking for help can make you a better skater, teammate, league member, and human being and all the positive benefits.

"Here we stand

Worlds apart

Hearts broken in two, two, two

Sleepless nights

Losing ground

I'm reaching for you, you, you"

World in crisis? No matter! Power Through the 4th Whistle will press on.

This week, I discuss strategies you can use to coach yourself through problem solving and how you react to situations. We are facing heightened levels of emotions in the face of being separated from our normal routine and people we care about. Using different types of psychological distancing and the Batman effect, we can make better decisions for the greater good, overcome any challenge, and strengthen our perseverance.

Plus I share a list of some of my favorite podcasts to distract you and let you escape for a while in three categories: Funny, Fiction, and History/Learning. Check out this post to see the whole list.

Early release for this week's episode to help my wonderful listeners embrace some CALM.

Roller Derby is getting cancelled all over along with lots of social activities. The best thing to do in times of uncertainty is to find things you CAN control. This episode focuses on looking at problem solving in a productive way to help your league and skaters make decisions and act in the interest of the common good.

Should your league cancel events/games/practices? When practice is cancelled, what are some things you can do yourself? How can you train physically and mentally? What should you watch for when watching roller derby footage? What books can up your mental game? All this packed into one episode!

How hard should we be hitting in roller derby? Only necessary force or everything we have? How do you recover from witnessing a scary derby injury? And finally, how do you know if you're really ok to play? How are your perceived OPE (Other People's Expectations) influencing your actions? Today is a deeper dive into mental recovery from injuries where I go over these questions and share 8 tips for your psychological rehab journey.

RUNBACK EPISODE! I’m releasing a fan favorite from past every two weeks in case you didn’t hear it the first time or might be feeling like you need re-listen or want to share it with a friend. I picked this episode because it was of our recent theme of talking about transferring to other leagues.

What are the 3 BIGGEST MISTAKES made when transferring to a new league? And what does that have to do with the zombie apocalypse?!?!?!

This episode was a request from a listener who is trying to decide whether or not to transfer to another league. How do you know if it's the right time? How do you deal with the guilty feelings? Our roller derby community becomes like an extended family which leads to complicated feelings when it comes to making a decision for one's own unique journey. (Prepare for many Fast & Furious quotes about FAMILY.)

RUNBACK EPISODE! I’m releasing a fan favorite from past every two weeks in case you didn’t hear it the first time or might be feeling like you need re-listen or want to share it with a friend. I picked this episode because it was one of the first on the list of episodes I recommended in episode 84 (GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD!) for helping with improving mindset.

How do you make something that is uncomfortable for you into something that's ok? Being ok with looking silly? Being ok with failure? Being ok with falling? This episode focuses on how to break through discomfort to become stronger, more agile, more well rounded as a roller derby player and a human being. Get comfortable with any skill, any type of floor, any temperature, any position on the track!

This week, we are talking about communication and coaching indicators with Nadia Kean (Smarty Pants) of the Strong Athletic Podcast and clothing brand. How can coaches and players more effectively communicate with each other? What should a coach look for to see if a drill is working? We even go on a tangent discussing and questioning the effectiveness of the 27-in-5 time trial test for minimum skills in roller derby.

Nadia has been teaching and coaching athletes for nearly 20 years. Nadia started in banked track roller derby (taking on the derby name Smarty Pants) with Texas Roller Derby (TXRD), then moved into flat track roller derby with Texas Rollergirls (TXRG), and competed at the highest levels at WFTDA Championships and at multiple World Cups as a part of Team USA Roller Derby.

Nadia is currently working on a book on coaching (which we talk about) as well as the Strong Athletic Podcast which focuses on many aspects of being in sports including building the relationship between coaches and athletes. The goal of Strong Athletic is to get humans into sports and to help keep them in sports. The clothing brand is built upon the principle that you don't need anyone's permission to be an athlete and you can celebrate being Strong Athletic by wearing the words proudly across your body.

This episode is about accepting responsibility, opportunities to learn and improve, and how to EARN YOUR SPOT. In 2020, let's take on more ownership and deal out less blame. Let's embrace having high standards AND self compassion. It's always ok to make mistakes as long as we don't make excuses and instead learn our lesson and move on. #bemorebetter2020

In the beginning, I read out some of the amazing comments and messages shared after the episode on Body Positivity with K Woo as well as some follow up thoughts she shared. Hey all of you out there going through a tough time in your head -- you are not alone. You have a support system right here that is ready to show the world what athletes look like (spoiler: they're all shapes and sizes and not a type!).

January is a rough time of year for many of us as advertisers keep throwing special diets in our faces, telling us we aren't good enough, that we need to hit some number on a scale for gasp the dreaded full of it BMI. This week's episode is here to tell you that YOU are strong and beautiful as you are and we care a lot more about the awesome you can do on the track!

Listeners asked and we made it happen. K Woo is our special guest this week! K Woodward is a skater for Arch Rival Roller Derby with a fascinating, inspiring, and empowering journey to share with us. I've always loved watching K Woo crush it on the track and after this conversation, my heart eyes are bigger than ever for this wonderful human.

Another listener suggested topic this week! How can we avoid having 2-3 people doing everything and getting burned out? How do you bridge the divide between the people who want to change EVERYTHING and the people who want to change NOTHING? How can we better get our ideas across to others? Today's episode is about better communication, picking your battles, and selling your vision.

Feeling introspective is a natural part of the holiday season. This week, I share a list of lessons learned from nature, animals, and travel that have made me look at life differently and help me on my journey to becoming a better athlete, teammate, leader, and especially...human being. I want to share these with you during this time where we all need a mental and emotional reset before facing the coming year. This episode is all feels and was a suggestion from Coach Dan.

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. 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. 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!

The conclusion to the post season awaits in Montreal at the annual International WFTDA Championship! 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. Can anyone dethrone last season's Hydra Winner, Rose City Roller Derby?

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.

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. :-)

This episode was a suggestion from a listener! Why should you become a well rounded player? Why learn both jamming and blocking? How do you become a well rounded player? And finally, does EVERYONE need to become a triple threat? Really??

PLAYOFF SEASON continues!! Time to do another bracket prediction episode! ;-) This weekend is my own post season tournament so I won't be able to watch these games live, but in this episode I'll tell you all about about the seasons these 8 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. In Cup tournaments, some of these games could go either way and there are opportunities for upsets!

A thoughts and feelings episode! One of our podcast listeners whose question I answered in Finding Your Place on the Team followed up with a question that stood out and stuck with me all week...is it worth it? This question can have such a broad scope, this episode is a deep dive into the positives and negatives of being a roller derby skater.

This episode is a recap of the games that took place in Seattle, Washington this past weekend at the International WFTDA Playoffs. There were only TWO upsets all weekend and the closest game was 16 points and I had 13 out of 16 games correct on the bracket. ;-) Plenty of new faces and old faces on rosters and amazing game play to talk about! 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.

I've got stats for points scored by jammers, jams played by blockers, and what players are or aren't on the roster this weekend...hmmm. raises eyebrow There may be less opportunities for upsets this weekend, but we could see some teams that have fallen down in rankings have returns to glory!

I asked and you delivered with questions and messages and I picked the ones I thought would flow nicely together for today's episode. Hopefully I can do more of these in the future. Thank you to everyone who has ever sent in a question or message, I love connecting with you. <3

Today's questions focus on how to level up your game when you want to make a charter, how to fit in when you aren't on the roster yet, and what a travel team coach's place ought to be in a league.

If you enjoyed this episode, feel free to send in YOUR question for next time! :-)

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? E-mail grant@grantporteous.com.

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!

Rankings and Feelings! What affects rankings and what effect does that ranking have on you?

This week's Power Through the 4th Whistle Roller Derby Podcast episode discusses WFTDA's release of the June 30th rankings, 2019 Postseason Seeding and Brackets.

You know it's supposed to be fun, right? Roller derby IS fun. If you are losing the fun in derby, you might be close to burnout. But there's hope!! In this episode, I talk about the 7 SIGNS you might have burnout and 5 WAYS to combat/prevent burnout.

(I was NOT able to find the original post from Sandrine Rangeon's training program from five years ago. I can tell you it's 6 weeks of Hypertrophy, 6 weeks of Strength, and 6 weeks of Power.)

This week I got to sit down and chat with Rachel Rotten across the interwebz! Some of the big topics include league management, being a blocker for over 8 years and learning how to be a jammer in front of the derby world, and living with chronic illness and not letting it stop her from competing at a high level in our sport.

Rachel Rotten is the longest standing member of Angel City Derby's Hollywood Scarlets.

Our first audience participation episode!! We are talking about bout day rituals or game day routines, whichever you prefer. ;-) What are the things YOU need to be successful? I cover the physical, food/fueling, and mental aspects of the days leading up to the bout and game day itself and all the things I've learned along the way and adjustments made for better success. And if you ever wanted to learn how to wash your gear, wheels, and bearings, I'll give you the tips on how to do that too. Thank you to everyone who sent in answers and told me about your game day essentials! And thank you to our past (and future) guests of the podcast who also chimed in with their responses: Lady Trample, Laci Knight, Rachel Rotten, and Optimus Grime.

This week's episode has a brief recap of the events taking place at La Classique Georgia W. Tush tournament in Montreal, Quebec followed by our topic this week inspired by an episode of Get Ya Mind Right by Niyi Sobo -- The Consequences of Being Soft. When you're afraid of getting hurt, afraid of failure, afraid of losses...that's when you get hurt. That's when you lose. But if you're aggressive and hit the hole hard, that's how you win and make big plays. Plus a story of what I learned from playing my first rugby game this weekend!

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.

OR if it isn't working, you can e-mail power4thwhistle@gmail.com or send a message on FB, Instagram, or Twitter (please be brief and keep it to a length I can read in a minute or less. ;-) )

This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with Miracle Whips, jammer for Montreal’s New Skids on the Block and Team Canada. We get into a truly memorable and philosophical discussion of how fear of failure, fear of success, and fear of what other people think does NOT truly matter. It’s all about finding your purpose and what will drive you to fight for yourself and your team.

Continuing the conversation from last week, we are talking about major injuries that limit your ability to do anything. We do a deep dive into concussions. And we are going to talk about your mindset if you decide to mount a comeback or step away. There are no wrong answers here, it is whatever is the right thing to do for you and your body, no judgement. I am going to give you stories of people going through some really major injuries and either coming out the other side pursuing something different or defying the odds and returning to the sport they love. (I go into the stories of Tommaso Ciampa and Daniel Bryan at length and included links to short videos below that tell their stories in a beautiful, emotional way if you'd like to learn more.) It's going to get real and heavy at times, but I believe it's an important topic and will have value to someone.

This topic has been on the list since the beginning and it is the INJURIES. How can we do better at preventing them? Once they happen, how do we recover physically? And lastly, what can we work on for mindset with injury recovery? All the emotions and FOMO, how we do deal?

Lady Trample is a special guest on this episode!! The topic this week is Bravery. Bravery is feeling the fear and doing it anyway. Today we are going to talk a lot about responding to fear, how to combat fear, and even which risks are worth taking and which aren’t. Sports can bring out the best in people. You can learn to overcome your self doubts and fears and let your light shine brightly. You end up inspiring others whether you know it or not. But bravery can be small everyday things too. (🎼 "I wanna see you be brave...." 🎼)

A little more about our special guest:

Lady Trample is the founder of Chicks in Bowls. She is an exceptional roller derby jammer who started with Pirate City Rollers, competed in multiple playoffs and championship games for Victorian Roller Derby League, and recently transferred to Denver Roller Derby. She was awarded MVP at the 2017 WFTDA Championship. She played for Aotearoa Roller Derby at the 2018 Roller Derby World Cup where she was named Tournament Fan Favorite.

This week's topic is BEING COMPETITIVE. Avoiding the Dance of the Doomed, Success Disease, and how having a Chip on your Shoulder can be an asset. More of a tough love direction this time. Warning: some ranting ensues! This episode addresses three types of situations and how you can get yourself and/or your team back into a competitive mindset so you can give your all and sleep soundly that night. Give a fox (a cuddly baby fox ;-) ) about being competitive.

"Your team is only as strong as your weakest skater and how your league treats its weakest skaters says a lot about your league."

I heard this statement earlier this week and it's been bouncing around in my brain ever since. Sometimes leagues focus so hard on chasing a dream, a number on a website that says how good they are, that it's a challenge to bring others up with them. And then when turnover inevitably happens, they don't have the next people ready to join the A travel team. More teams are addressing this now with a mixed charter combining A and B levels in larger leagues, but many are still stuck with this problem. And for smaller leagues who will never have many people to pull from, it can mean nearly starting over anytime a handful of people have to step away at once.

This episode is a deep dive mostly into the perspective of a small to mid-size league where I've had the most experience and the tough lessons learned along the way. I share a couple stories of skaters that have inspired me with their dedication. And I talk in depth about how we work to reach skaters of multiple skill levels and what we have learned along the way to value every individual who is a part of our league.

Debuting a new theme song for co-hosted episodes! Coach Dan and Jackie go back and forth between perspectives of coach, captain, and skater about feedback. How should you ask for it? Who should give feedback and when? How often is too much? And lastly continuing in our theme lately, how do we receive feedback without taking criticism as a blemish on our character? How can we rise above cases of poorly communicated feedback?

THANK YOU to everyone who has been sharing this podcast, it is very appreciated and is making a difference! If you haven't yet, don't forget to rate and review on Apple Podcasts and anywhere else that takes reviews.

Your overwhelming response to last week's episode on Impostor Syndrome and Perfectionism showed me how much this topic affects all of us and our mindset in training and in life. Continuing in that theme this week, we focus on how to change from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.

Books mentioned in this week's podcast are:

"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert M. Pirsig

"Mindset: How You can Fulfill Your Potential" by Carol S. Dweck

This week, I get personal about my biggest challenge, the biggest challenge for many athletes -- high pressure games where we are against a rival, a team just as good as we are, and something important is on the line. I share 4 STEPS to dealing with high pressure situations because so many of us struggle with this and we are all going to beat it together. This is how we will train to punch sharks!

The podcast I mentioned in this week's episode was the Strong Athletic Podcast with Nadia Kean (Listen to Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/strong-athletic-podcast/id1450441469).

The book I talked about was The Four Tendencies by Gretchen Rubin. Gretchen Rubin also has a podcast called Happier with Gretchen Rubin: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/happier-with-gretchen-rubin/id969519520.

Coach Dan and Jackie dive into questions like, how do you best communicate a new drill to your team who has a variety of learning styles? How do you know if a new drill is right for your team? How to you communicate the drill to your coach/captain/skater who runs practice? And we each share one of our most favorite drills we've stood by over the years.

This episode is a rant that I feel very strongly about. I HATE the word "Showoff". I talk about what it means and the effect it has on others. Why do we get intimidated by others? How do we let ourselves shine as brightly as can? Most importantly, how do we fight human nature and the laws of power to make each other better and come together as a team? And I forget to add the music at the end, lol.

If you want to learn more about things I referenced today:

How do you get your team (not your coach, your TEAM) to trust in you as an option? This week on the Power Through the 4th Whistle Roller Derby Podcast, we talk about how rookie skaters who have passed their skills test can make that transition into getting on a roster.

Merry Christmas!! Today on the Power Through the 4th Whistle podcast, we are doing some mental reps and mental sets. That's right, mindset training. A special Christmas episode that you can listen to on any game day, on your way to practice, anytime you need a little boost of confidence! SAVE this episode. It's a gift!

I'm sharing two of my favorite podcasts and giving you the gift of Niyi Sobo -- subscribe to both of his podcasts, Get Ya Mind Right and the Sports Motivation Podcast. He is a former NFL running back and now motivates athletes and entrepreneurs around the world with practical advice. I'm sharing my favorite track from GYMR, "I can do it", episode 213 (this track is explicit, maybe you don't want to listen with kids in the car). He believes in the power of mental reps, you need to repeat what you want to be true over and over again. Whatever your goals are, no matter your age, it's possible. You CAN do it!

Why do I talk about Harry Potter in this episode?!??! You'll have to listen to find out. ;-)

Continuing from our last episode of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, this episode focuses on asking for help. Why do we struggle with this in general? Is it a badge of honor to do it all on our own? Is admitting we aren't perfect or have it all figured out so bad? Let's talk about how asking for help can make you a better skater, teammate, league member, and human being and all the positive benefits.

What would you do if fear didn't hold you back? Because fear is a liar. And you shouldn't harbor fear. Today I share personal stories of letting fear and doubt keep me from doing what I love and working to overcome fears in derby and life to hopefully help others do the same.

Hi. I’m Jackie Bauer and I LOVE roller derby. So much that I started the Power Through the 4th Whistle Roller Derby Podcast. It’s about the journey to becoming better athletes, teammates, leaders, and human beings.

This is more than passing your skills, gear, and training (though we cover those too)

It’s about:

Mental toughness and mindset in sports

Imposter Syndrome & Perfectionism

Burnout

Becoming a team player

We ask questions like:

How do you come back from losing the big one?

How do you get more playing time?

Is Roller Derby Worth it?

Some episodes we also get a coach perspective with Coach Dan.

You can find Power through the 4th Whistle roller derby podcast anywhere you listen to podcasts and we are @power4thwhistle on the social stuff. Come on by and get some laser beams of positivity to carry through your day! Pew pew!
