In this episode of the Krash Course Roller Derby Podcast, we share a client's Study, Practice, Teach intensive on building a stronger mental toolkit on and off the track.

We talk about how negative thought patterns can impact confidence, performance, and joy in roller derby, and how Socratic questioning can help us challenge those thoughts instead of letting them run the show.

We cover:

  • why mindset work matters as much as physical training
  • how cognitive distortions show up in derby
  • the thought, feeling, behavior cycle
  • how to question negative self-talk in real time
  • why “I suck at this” is rarely the full truth
  • how to create space between a thought and your response


Key takeaway: our thoughts are not always facts. When we learn to pause, question the story, and look for what’s actually true, we become more resilient athletes and stronger humans.
