If you're a captain, veteran, or skater who wants to lead better on the track, this one’s for you.

I am joined by Krash Course Head Coach Original Cyn (Team Jewish Roller Derby & Red Stick Roller Derby) to unpack what real leadership looks like inside the pack. Spoiler: it’s not about yelling louder.

We go over: 

  • Why most “communication issues” are actually trust + clarity issues
  • How to give feedback without shutting people down
  • What it means to lead with curiosity (and not judgment)
  • The secret to setting high standards that people actually buy into
  • Why adaptability and not authority is what makes great captains


Whether you’re leading now or want to lead someday, this episode gives you the mindset and tools to get buy-in, elevate play, and build team trust from the inside out.
