LOREN MUTCH Special Guest! - 094 - Growing Up in Roller Derby

“It’s so easy to fall in love with roller derby when you’re part of something bigger than yourself that pushes you.”   We have a special guest this week -- Loren Mutch!! After starting out in junior derby, Loren Mutch became a jammer for the Rose City Rollers in Portland, Oregon. She played in the gold medal game at WFTDA Championships the last six years in a row! Mutch was named MVP of Champs in 2014 and won the Hydra with Rose City...four times. Besides being A-MAZING at roller derby and one of the most driven athletes in our sport, Loren Mutch is very sweet, humble, and delightful to talk to.  Topics we discuss in this episode include growing up in roller derby, grappling with being defined by roller derby, remembering your productivity is not equal to your worth, using energy with a purpose on the track, being spicy, the key to speed, and "Mutch" more. ;-)  Find Loren Mutch on Instagram @mutchmayhem and on Twitter @lorenmutch PT4W is LIVE on Twitch on Fridays at 8pm EST.
