Power Through the 4th Whistle Roller Derby Podcast

• 185: The Wheel Deal Documentary

  In this episode, I talk to Super Smash Ho aka Nicole Doucette, producer of The Wheel Deal roller derby documentary focusing on the Terminal City Roller Derby league in Vancouver, BC, Canada. This project is a seven episode series, newly released on youtube, free to everyone!This documentary brings to light a very common challenge in roller derby – competitive vs fun in an amateur sport. The age old question: if people come to this sport for different reasons, how do we accommodate everyone and get their needs met? How can we make roller derby more accessible for everyone for the long term health of our sport? These questions and more!Smash’s intro to roller derby was actually through Rolla Skate Club in Vancouver founded by Lulu Demon and BiznessTime (formerly Booty Quake). Rolla Skate Club is a rollerskating center and fitness gym where you can do anything related to rollerskating and short track roller derby!

• 184 - Break FREE of the Perfection Trap

  "We could be freeeee....." This episode is for the perfectionists out there and how we can break ourselves out of cycle of the trap of perfectionism. After injury and self-doubt left me questioning everything, I found myself wrestling with perfectionism, shame, and the fear of not being “enough.” In this episode, I share how I learned to let go of perfection, reconnect with my team, and find strength in imperfection — with a little help from a movie about K-Pop Demon Hunters (maybe you've heard of it ;-) ). Because sometimes, the beauty really is in the broken glass.Photo by ⁠⁠⁠Jason Lome @lomeranger on IGPodcast logo by Liz Mac IntyreWould you like to sponsor this podcast and get your message out to our very smart and cool roller derby audience?

• 183 - Unleash Your Alter Ego

  In this episode, I talk about stepping into character and embracing your roller derby identity and alter ego to give yourself to be competitive and elevate your own performance and push everyone else to their limits. I also talk about team culture and taking care of each other and how your contagious energy can push your team forward or hold them back.

• 182 - What Your Coach Won’t Tell You

  I read a book that made me mad...and then it made me think.In this episode, we uncover the hard truths about competition that coaches often leave out. From shifting your mindset to embrace relentless competitiveness, to understanding how small actions control the margin of victory, we explore what it really takes to win. Learn how to push your limits, balance empathy with toughness, and make your own luck — because winning isn’t just about showing up, it’s about showing up prepared.Photo by ⁠⁠Jason LomePodcast logo by Liz Mac IntyreWould you like to sponsor this podcast and get your message out to our very smart and cool roller derby audience?

• JACKIE DANIELS Special Guest! 181 - Longevity in Roller Derby

  This week, I welcome one of my favorite people and long time heroes in roller derby to the podcast -- Jackie Daniels! During this Jackie-Jackie connection, you'll hear all about her trail blazing career of 20+ years (so far ;-) ) in our sport. Being part of history at the beginning of the WFTDA in one of the first 30 leagues, Grand Raggidy, and what it was like in that 2005-2010 time period when so much was growing and changing. Then through the golden years of skating at Champs with Windy City and Texas, skating for USA in two World Cups, to now being a member of Rockin City in Round Rock, Texas. What does it take to keep a body and mind engaged to keep playing this sport at such a high level for over two decades? Jackie Daniels' attitude of always wanting to grow, progress, and be coached is inspiring and her example of mindful self care and working smarter is something we can all learn from.Follow Jackie Daniels on IG @jackiedaniels07_jdIf interested in coaching, email [email protected] by ⁠Meagen Kopacki - Photographer⁠Podcast logo by Liz Mac IntyreConcussion Roller Derby is hosting MRDA Champs in Salem Oregon on October 10-12th.
