In this episode of the Krash Course Roller Derby Podcast, we talk about how to rebuild trust with our body and skating after time off, whether that break came from injury, pregnancy, work, or life.

We cover five key shifts:

• stop comparing ourselves to pre-break versions
• rebuild confidence through small wins
• train the movements we are scared of at lower intensity
• fix off-skates training so it actually supports derby
• detach our identity from single bad reps, jams, or practices

This is a conversation about rebuilding trust, not rushing a comeback. If we want to feel strong, stable, and confident again, we need proof, structure, and patience.

In this episode of the Krash Course Roller Derby Podcast, we talk with Kat Sabbeth about what it really takes to become a stronger, more confident, more resilient derby athlete on and off the track.

We dig into the five big shifts that helped her stop feeling stuck and start building real consistency:

• showing up for training even when it felt hard
• creating structure and support instead of relying on motivation
• using nutrition to fuel performance and recovery
• rebuilding confidence through small wins
• letting derby growth spill over into the rest of life

We also talk about social anxiety, starting derby later, feeling behind, and how having a system can change everything.

This episode is for any skater who cares deeply, wants to level up, and is tired of feeling like their effort is not translating.

You’re training.

You’re showing up.

But deep down… you don’t feel fully prepared.

Not physically. Not mentally. Not confidently.

And that gap?

It shows up when it matters most.

Inside this live, one of our athletes breaks down the 5 key pieces that changed everything for them:

• What real preparation actually looks like
• Why most training isn’t translating to performance
• How nutrition impacts your energy, focus, and recovery
• How confidence is actually built (not faked)
• And the shift that changed how they show up on AND off the track

This isn’t theory.

This is from someone who lived it.

So as you watch, ask yourself:
Which of these pieces am I missing right now?

In this episode of the Krash Course Roller Derby Podcast, we break down what quick feet and agility actually mean in roller derby and why they matter for both jammers and blockers.

We talk about why agility is not just about speed. It is about reaction time, control, lateral movement, and building trust in your edges so your body can respond without hesitation.

Inside this episode, we cover:

• What skaters are really missing when they say they want “faster feet”
• How agility shows up differently for jammers and blockers
• Why blockers need agility just as much as jammers
• The difference between off-skates agility work and on-skates application
• Common mistakes skaters make when training agility
• Why better agility leads to better decision making under pressure

If we want quicker feet on the track, we have to train more than drills. We have to build the balance, coordination, control, and confidence that make agility actually usable in gameplay.

In this episode of the Krash Course Roller Derby Podcast, I break down what real derby strength actually looks like and why getting stronger is about way more than just lifting heavier in the gym.

Inside this episode, we cover:

• Why derby strength is different from gym strength
• The six principles that make strength translate to gameplay
• Why repeatable power matters more than one big burst
• How confidence is built through consistency, not motivation
• The five systems that help skaters train like athletes off the track

If you have been training hard but still feel weak, inconsistent, or unsure how to earn more track time, this episode will help you understand what is missing and how to fix it.

In this episode of the Krash Course Roller Derby Podcast, we break down how to review game footage like an athlete instead of turning it into a self-criticism spiral.

We sit down with Krash Course Head Coach Original Cyn to talk about why most skaters either avoid footage or watch it once, emotionally react, and walk away feeling worse.

We cover:

• Why you should never watch footage with no plan
• The power of multiple “passes” with different intentions
• How to separate emotion from analysis
• What jammers and blockers should actually be looking for
• How to turn notes into 1-3 clear action steps (not eight pages of overwhelm)

Footage only works if it leads to action.
