Okay, okay, okay, okay….Im going to be honest…I drank A LOT on Friday night and Saturday was the hardest work out of my life. Even though it was a rest day for most of the exercises I almost couldn’t hang. Back story: I am a big winey delicate flower when I’m hung over. Smells bother me, I have hot flashes, people piss me off more - I’ll literally just stare at them with the most blank “omg your so annoying” look ever - and I laugh a lot.
It’s like I’m super bi polar. Anyways, it’s no fun. Well, except the laughing part…that’s pretty fun. But, alas, my friend Lauren, who is doing our fresh meat program, text me at night and asked if I had done My exercises, I hadn’t at that point. after she text me I sucked it up and did my god damn burpees and such. Today our groms (jr team) and our C team, the sea bright sirens, have a bout. Plyometrics and sock derby | Pynk Fitness - wellness for the alternative athlete. Our rec league, Internal Affairs, accepts new skaters at the first 2 practices of every month. These intake practices usually focus on basic on- skates skills – stops, falls, crossovers and all of the other little details that make an athlete proficient on her skates.
The problem with this structure is that it takes some skaters several months to actually play the sport – and as anyone who’s played roller derby can attest, you spend your first year of contact figuring out what you’re doing besides just turning left and bouncing off of people. We spend so much time teaching people to pass their minimum skills assessments that we don’t always get to teach them actual gameplay ‘til much later.
Then there’s the fact that many new skaters haven’t built up their fast-twitch muscle fibers yet. So tonight, we did things a bit differently. I ran a full hour of cardio/endurance, plyometrics, agility, blocking/timing drills and scrimmage completely on foot. Here is the workout in its entirety.

I'll describe the motions of this drill, but here's a small Flash video to demonstrate how it works. Divide your skaters into groups of three (3). You can have as many groups of 3 doing this on the track at the same time as you require. If your group is not divisible by 3, then a group of 4 or a group of 2 may happen and that's fine - the fundamentals are the same. I've seen this work with over 60 people on the track at once, so use this for your mixed skills practice or to warm up for travel team - it's all the same. The key of this drill is that each member of the group of three needs to know and practice what they should be doing at each key point on the track. Approaching the odd corner:The wall begins to contract.
The inside skater moving faster is a natural occurrence with skating a smaller circle. MobilityWOD. Kamikaze Kitten » Progress when you aren’t looking. I’ve been learning a valuable lesson over the last few months about when progress is ACTUALLY made. I was working out A LOT. 6-7 days a week including on skates training. Week after week at the Dynamic Sports Academy I was getting small improvements in my weight lifting, but not really seeing any in my Vision and Cognitive Tests or my fast footwork.
After a few months of this I passed my workout schedule on to the coaches there who suggested I may be doing too much and not allowing my body to make the improvements, and instead was just tiring out my central nervous system. Coupled with not enough sleep and not enough food, some of those workouts were just a plain old waste of time. So I made some changes and after a few weeks of completely going the other way and hardly working out at all (you do what you think about right? - that’s a whole other topic for another day), I think I’ve found a balance. Finally, I have more time to do something that I never scheduled in before. Roller derby injury prevention | getstinkout. Ankle injuries are very common in many sports especially Roller Derby.

What followed was an exchange of emails translated by Kitty Twister, who has a degree in French and was willing to put it to use for a good cause.
