As well as all the physical stuff we have to handle in roller derby, there's a big old mental side that's a little trickier to navigate.
A few weeks ago some of the skaters from my
intake passed their Minimum Skills and crossed over to the Advanced midweek practises, that mystical kingdom where all the hitting happens. This
has happened before, when I was too injured to
be skate, but this time a rescheduling meant I had to miss one of the testing days. And like before, I found myself dealing with
a little personal issue.
Oooh,
what was that? Was that… JEALOUSY?
