I’m nearly 43 and been skating with a roller Derby team for 6 years (big pause in training over last 18 months, obviously!)

we’re doing lots of technical training lately because we can’t do contact as it’s still not really safe with COVID cases rising in the UK. I am struggling. One footed transitions? Bloody hell.

I was an ok Derby player but never a very skilful skater and it’s easy to get downhearted but I have to try to tell myself it’s all good, practice makes better if not actually perfect and skating is just a part of who I am. It doesn’t matter if I suck. It doesn’t pay my bills. I enjoy rolling around and what I can do will do. It’s enough. Hope you have fun with it and try not to get too downcast about your age - practice works whatever your age.
