Why I love derby: I love derby because it gave me back something I was missing in my life. I am a mom, a teacher, a wife and I didn't feel I was me. I was always a jock! I was a gymnast for the majority of my youth. I played soccer, softball, and was a diver. I was a diving coach and a gymnastics coach. I missed being physical.
How I found derby: I watched the movie Whip It and then googled roller derby. I found a league in the area and went to their fresh meat night!
