My first season as a member of Houston Roller Derby is officially over.
Things went pretty well this year. Two amazing teams and lots [and lots] of learning along the way.
My home team, the Bayou City Bosses, finally pulled it together for a couple sweet wins. As time passed I felt like a member of a new family [cheese!].
And being a member of the Knockouts [our B travel team] was an exhilarating experience as well. 🙂

Physically, I have upped my endurance and
balance. I barely played at the start of the season, then one team
decided that a jammer I should be, and put me in that spotlight. I am so
grateful for that opportunity to prove myself It went a long way. I became more confident and put so much more effort into my game.

I won’t bother you with the mental changes I have experienced, but it’s been a pretty amazing journey.
A big thank you to my league mates for giving me a spot in which I grew as an athlete, as well as a person.

Thanks to Steve Beard for the photo. 🙂
I always knew you'd be a jammer! Consider me your secret cheerleader and fan! Oh, wait–it's not a secret now.
Congrats hun!! Hopefully I'll get to make it to one of your games next season. If you guys ever travel up to Dallas – I promise I'll be there! 😀
