Now that I’ve passed on to Scrimmage 101, shit’s getting real. I’m finding myself overwhelmed already with all the things I need to be thinking about at once. For instance: Where’s my team/partner? Where’s the jammer? Am I holding the inside line? Am I within 10 feet of the pack in front of me? Am I about to get my clock cleaned? Hold that blocker/jammer! Was that a penalty whistle? What the fuck is happening?
I think I need to go back to the beginning and hold a viewing of Whip It for myself to remember why I began this journey in the first place and to refocus my anxiety.
Also, I’m fielding suggestions for my derby name. Plays on famous names and pop culture references are my favorite ones. And I’m not against messing around with my own name. If I use your name or a variation of it, I’ll buy you dinner or drinks or make you something special.
So, any ideas?
