089 - Roller Derby is Cancelled. Now What?

Early release for this week's episode to help my wonderful listeners embrace some CALM. Roller Derby is getting cancelled all over along with lots of social activities. The best thing to do in times of uncertainty is to find things you CAN control. This episode focuses on looking at problem solving in a productive way to help your league and skaters make decisions and act in the interest of the common good. Should your league cancel events/games/practices? When practice is cancelled, what are some things you can do yourself? How can you train physically and mentally? What should you watch for when watching roller derby footage? What books can up your mental game? All this packed into one episode!
