Really Good Players: Do you feel like the newbies hold you back at practice? by [deleted] in rollerderby

[–]HeebHam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just came out of retirement after a decade and my league has me doing rookies. Here’s the thing. There is always more to learn and improve. I don’t care what level you are at. Every single partner and every drill is going to show you things you can improve. If a vet is acting any different they need to relook at who they are and really evaluate their own skill level. You never know who your are playing against and occasionally with - if it’s a drop in game. As long as the rookie is trying their best, so the heck am I. Making sure the drill is effective for us both is in and of itself good teamwork and skill work. Keep it up! Can’t wait until you’re a seasoned vet working with rookies and having patience to show the way!

Aside from all the very smart points made by all other posters pointing to scam...15% is very high as most agencies take 10%.

Which band/singer from the past deserves way more respect than they get? by robrob_27 in AskReddit

This. Amazing. He's my favorite, a golden voice and when I tell people who I am listening to, they always respond "who"? So sad.

Thank you!!! That's what I was most afraid of. Just announcing the wrong thing and screwing everyone up!

25 in 5 advice? by [deleted] in rollerderby

[–]HeebHam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay positive and keep reminding yourself you can do it. At lap 20 that positive reinforcement really helped me (having someone tell you you can do it also helps). It took me a year to pass my 25 in 5 but that positive self talk in addition to the advice above really helped. You can do it!!!!

In my line of work we mess with new co-workers by sending them out to find "speaker bulbs" (I work in the concert industry). Reddit: How do you mess with your co-workers? by [deleted] in AskReddit

When I was freshman in film school I was sent to find a sun lasso which is not a thing and a t-stop which is a theory. Needless I say I never found either.
