In this episode of the Krash Course Roller Derby Podcast, we break down what recovery actually means for roller derby athletes and why it is a non-negotiable part of performance, not a luxury.

We cover:

• why derby places unique stress on the body (impact, rotation, and nervous system load)
• the difference between active recovery and passive recovery
• why soreness is not the same as progress
• common recovery mistakes skaters make
• how to use the “Big Five” recovery pillars: sleep, nutrition, mobility, hot/cold, and nervous system care

Key takeaway: you do not get stronger during training, you get stronger during recovery.

If you want to skate longer, stay healthy, and perform consistently, recovery has to be intentional, not an afterthought.
