We have a special guest this week!! Miss Tea Maven is an all star jammer who skates for Gotham Girls Roller Derby. She sustained a serious knee injury earlier this year and is on the journey of getting stronger and coming back BETTER than ever. She gives a great perspective on your mindset while injured and ways to help your team and stay engaged from the sidelines. This episode was recorded immediately after the Saturday night game at the 2019 WFTDA International Championship in Montreal, Gotham vs VRDL where Gotham emerged victorious in a close, exciting match up! We also talk about her personal mission to stop the public stigma of living with mental illness and bring awareness by encouraging others to keep talking.  Miss Tea Maven is an all around great person (and pretty funny too!). It would be wise to share this episode with anyone you think might need a listen. Photo by David Dyte ***Don't forget to send in your thoughts for our special Thanksgiving episode!

Want to be on the podcast? I want to hear from YOU!  This time of year in the United States, we take a moment to stop and appreciate the things we are thankful for in our lives...like roller derby! Roller derby has changed our lives in so many ways: physically, mentally, emotionally...we've gotten to meet new people and go new places. What are you thankful for in derby this year? A person? A favorite piece of gear or pair of skates? A shark punching moment? It could be anything that is special to you. There are plenty of ways to share your derby thankful message (try to keep it a minute or less): 1. Voicemail: Leave me a voice message by going to this link on Safari web browser: https://anchor.fm/power-through-the-4th-whistle or look up our show on the Anchor app.  2. Use your phone: Take a Voice memo or video using your phone and send it to me in a FB message: https://www.facebook.com/powerthru4thwhistle/ or e-mail power4thwhistle@gmail.com. I can take the audio off it no problem. 3. Social Media: Post your video on social media and tag @power4thwhistle on Instagram or Twitter or our FB page on FB with the #powergratitude. If you want to make sure I found it, send me a lil message. ;-)  4. DM: If none of these sound appealing, just send a written message on FB or e-mail or DM on Twitter @power4thwhistle or Instagram @power4thwhistle. Deadline is the Tuesday night before Thanksgiving. That way I can edit it together on Wednesday and have it ready for Thursday. :-) This is our second audience participation episode and I’m super psyched!

What is the common theme of the last couple of episodes? It's about choosing your thoughts and taking control of your reactions. Are you going to let situations take you down or are you going to grow and learn from them? How do you get past fear of getting hurt or hurting others playing roller derby? Why should you visualize negative scenarios as well as positive? All these questions will be covered in this week's episode. 📷by David Oliver Photography Visit our sponsor, Bout Betties at https://boutbetties.com/.  Subscribe today using our podcast’s promo code POWER10 for 10% off your first pack!

This is a tough one where the focus is on helping rookie skaters. What happens if you don't pass your minimum skills right away? Is finishing those 27 laps in 5 minutes a struggle?

Bookmark or save this one in some way, I think there’s going to be several skaters and coaches who need this sent to them. This episode was suggestion by multiple listeners!

This episode is a recap of the games that took place in Seattle, Washington this past weekend at the International WFTDA Playoffs. There were only TWO upsets all weekend and the closest game was 16 points and I had 13 out of 16 games correct on the bracket. ;-) Plenty of new faces and old faces on rosters and amazing game play to talk about! And I didn't mention it in the episode because I couldn't find it online, but the MVP for the weekend was Klein of Denver Roller Derby, well deserved with 100% lead and 0 points against for the Crime City game and only 2 penalties ALL weekend.

PLAYOFF SEASON continues!! Time to do another bracket prediction episode! ;-) I'll be getting in the car and driving 12 hours to Pennsylvania to announce at the cup, but for now I'll tell you all about about the seasons these 12 teams have had this year, players to watch, and if you want a preview of what to expect, I picked a game that is available for streaming for each team that really shows what they're about and what they can do in a close match up. This is an interesting weekend and there are some notable roster changes from the regular season that might impact the results and team chemistry during this tournament.  It's cup season, these games could all go either way and the cup bracket is ripe with opportunities for upsets!  If you're at the tournament, come by and say hi! I'll try to post what I'm up to on the socials.

This episode, I was joined by Grant Porteous, Owner/Life Coach & Consultant at Intentional Life Coaching & Consulting to learn about how to conquer and change self limiting beliefs. It turns out there is a LOT of science behind our ability as humans to rewire our brains and set ourselves on new neural pathways to success. We form 90% of our beliefs by age 7 based on experience. You have an experience, you assess the experience, reinforce it with an emotion, and come to a decision or belief about the experience which then becomes wired into your brain and informs your other experiences going forward depending on how impactful it was. Over time, you will see more and more experiences as aligning with your already developed belief and reinforcing it and not notice the evidence that goes against your belief. (Ex: "I'm no good at relationships; Dogs don't like me; Things work out for other people but not for me; If you want something done right, you must do it yourself, etc.) But NO MORE! It doesn't have to BE this way! We are going to cover FOUR STEPS to replace negative beliefs that limit us with positive beliefs that will allow action and give us room to grow and learn. We also talk a bit about visualization as an important way to cement that new vision of what you want in your mind. Have a question for Grant? E-mail grant@grantporteous.com. 📷by ©Mark Sheehan 2012 (This photo perfectly captured how much confidence I had about jamming in 2012, how much I wish I had known how to change my beliefs back then!)

What does an MVP look like? What are the qualities we can all agree on? What are the reasons your opponent might pass you over for someone else? Is awarding MVPs an outdated practice? Is this a "BS award" that doesn't mean anything as some people like to say? Or is this still a worthy goal players can aspire to as a benchmark in their roller derby journey? This episode does a deep dive into the five factors other teams consider when choosing MVPs at the end of a game PLUS four ways you can increase your chances of becoming an MVP yourself if this is your goal.

Our first audience participation episode!! We are talking about bout day rituals or game day routines, whichever you prefer. ;-) What are the things YOU need to be successful? I cover the physical, food/fueling, and mental aspects of the days leading up to the bout and game day itself and all the things I've learned along the way and adjustments made for better success. And if you ever wanted to learn how to wash your gear, wheels, and bearings, I'll give you the tips on how to do that too. Thank you to everyone who sent in answers and told me about your game day essentials!

Tush tournament in Montreal, Quebec followed by our topic this week inspired by an episode of Get Ya Mind Right by Niyi Sobo -- The Consequences of Being Soft.

But if you're aggressive and hit the hole hard, that's how you win and make big plays.

Coach Dan returns in this episode! Together we discuss 7 big ways to lose your team's trust (the 7 Deadly Sins of Coaching if you will). Trust is not something you automatically get when you decide to become a coach. Trust has to be earned. And it can be easily lost if you lose your way and slip up. We'll discuss the flip side, how to avoid these pitfalls and honestly communicate with the members of your team. Next week I am asking for audience participation and we are discussing Bout Day Rituals! Feel free to send in your special bout day rituals/routines in a voice message of 1 minute or less by clicking on the voice message link below.

Continuing the conversation from last week, we are talking about major injuries that limit your ability to do anything. We do a deep dive into concussions. And we are going to talk about your mindset if you decide to mount a comeback or step away. There are no wrong answers here, it is whatever is the right thing to do for you and your body, no judgement. I am going to give you stories of people going through some really major injuries and either coming out the other side pursuing something different or defying the odds and returning to the sport they love. (I go into the stories of Tommaso Ciampa and Daniel Bryan at length and included links to short videos below that tell their stories in a beautiful, emotional way if you'd like to learn more.)  It's going to get real and heavy at times, but I believe it's an important topic and will have value to someone.  Turning a Setback into a Comeback: https://medium.com/@hauntedflowerreviews/turning-a-setback-into-a-comeback-983f7661eff3 Inside Tommaso Ciampa's neck surgery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XFL11cQf0s  Tommaso Ciampa opens up about his injury: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM0mtTMfFhY  Daniel Bryan's comeback: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHobbiH4I4g ("It's wonderful that you're grateful, but you need to fight for your dreams.")  Photo by Soul Collector  Want to know how you can support the podcast?

This topic has been on the list since the beginning and it is the INJURIES. How can we do better at preventing them? Once they happen, how do we recover physically?

Lady Trample is a special guest on this episode!! The topic this week is Bravery. Bravery is feeling the fear and doing it anyway. Today we are going to talk a lot about responding to fear, how to combat fear, and even which risks are worth taking and which aren’t. Sports can bring out the best in people. You can learn to overcome your self doubts and fears and let your light shine brightly. You end up inspiring others whether you know it or not. But bravery can be small everyday things too. (🎼 "I wanna see you be brave...." 🎼)  A little more about our special guest:  Lady Trample is the founder of Chicks in Bowls. She is an exceptional roller derby jammer who started with Pirate City Rollers, competed in multiple playoffs and championship games for Victorian Roller Derby League, and recently transferred to Denver Roller Derby. She was awarded MVP at the 2017 WFTDA Championship. She played for Aotearoa Roller Derby at the 2018 Roller Derby World Cup where she was named Tournament Fan Favorite.

This week's topic is BEING COMPETITIVE. Avoiding the Dance of the Doomed, Success Disease, and how having a Chip on your Shoulder can be an asset. More of a tough love direction this time. Warning: some ranting ensues! This episode addresses three types of situations and how you can get yourself and/or your team back into a competitive mindset so you can give your all and sleep soundly that night. Give a fox (a cuddly baby fox ;-) ) about being competitive.

"Your team is only as strong as your weakest skater and how your league treats its weakest skaters says a lot about your league." I heard this statement earlier this week and it's been bouncing around in my brain ever since. Sometimes leagues focus so hard on chasing a dream, a number on a website that says how good they are, that it's a challenge to bring others up with them. And then when turnover inevitably happens, they don't have the next people ready to join the A travel team. More teams are addressing this now with a mixed charter combining A and B levels in larger leagues, but many are still stuck with this problem. And for smaller leagues who will never have many people to pull from, it can mean nearly starting over anytime a handful of people have to step away at once.  This episode is a deep dive mostly into the perspective of a small to mid-size league where I've had the most experience and the tough lessons learned along the way. I share a couple stories of skaters that have inspired me with their dedication. And I talk in depth about how we work to reach skaters of multiple skill levels and what we have learned along the way to value every individual who is a part of our league. 📷 Crow's Feet Photo & Design We love roller derby and talking about roller derby!

Debuting a new theme song for co-hosted episodes! Coach Dan and Jackie go back and forth between perspectives of coach, captain, and skater about feedback. How should you ask for it? Who should give feedback and when? How often is too much? And lastly continuing in our theme lately, how do we receive feedback without taking criticism as a blemish on our character? How can we rise above cases of poorly communicated feedback? THANK YOU to everyone who has been sharing this podcast, it is very appreciated and is making a difference!

Your overwhelming response to last week's episode on Impostor Syndrome and Perfectionism showed me how much this topic affects all of us and our mindset in training and in life. Continuing in that theme this week, we focus on how to change from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.    Books mentioned in this week's podcast are: "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert M.

This week we delve into the FIVE TYPES of Impostor Syndrome and the biggest among them -- Perfectionism. Have you ever believed you're not as good as others think you are? Do you have trouble owning success? Do you worry about being found out to be a fraud? Does this sound like someone you know? This episode is for you. We go for a dive into the different types, where Impostor Syndrome comes from, and how to deal with it and change your mindset.

This week, I get personal about my biggest challenge, the biggest challenge for many athletes -- high pressure games where we are against a rival, a team just as good as we are, and something important is on the line. I share 4 STEPS to dealing with high pressure situations because so many of us struggle with this and we are all going to beat it together. This is how we will train to punch sharks! The podcast I mentioned in this week's episode was the Strong Athletic Podcast with Nadia Kean (Listen to Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/strong-athletic-podcast/id1450441469).

Coach Dan and Jackie dive into questions like, how do you best communicate a new drill to your team who has a variety of learning styles? How do you know if a new drill is right for your team?

And we each share one of our most favorite drills we've stood by over the years.  Photo by Northland Pulp We love roller derby and talking about roller derby!

This episode is a rant that I feel very strongly about. I HATE the word "Showoff". I talk about what it means and the effect it has on others. Why do we get intimidated by others? How do we let ourselves shine as brightly as can? Most importantly, how do we fight human nature and the laws of power to make each other better and come together as a team? And I forget to add the music at the end, lol.   If you want to learn more about things I referenced today: Books -  "The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene "The 50th Law" by Robert Greene Podcast interview with Robert Green on Niyi Sobo's Sports Motivation Podcast   Super Bowl Watching Workout: https://www.facebook.com/powerthru4thwhistle/photos/a.1731696670461753/2030662490565168/ We love roller derby and talking about roller derby!
