The Krash Course Roller Derby Podcast
The Krash Course Podcast (formerly Krissy Krash Podcast) is for roller derby athletes who are done guessing and ready to take their performance seriously.
Each episode features honest conversations with experienced skaters and coaches, alongside practical, no nonsense insights on training, mindset, and consistency. This isn’t about hacks or hype. It’s about understanding why hard work often fails to translate on the track, why self coaching breaks down under pressure, and what it actually takes to become a stronger, more reliable athlete.
Krash Course is a roller derby performance training company built by experienced skaters and certified personal trainers. Through structured strength, conditioning, and performance coaching designed specifically for the demands of roller derby, we help athletes train smarter, skate stronger, and stay in the game longer.
If you’re tired of almost being ready and want a system that supports your goals both on and off skates, you’re in the right place.

The Krash Course Roller Derby Podcast
Active Recovery and Recovery Protocols (With Coach Gwennie)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Krash Course Roller Derby Podcast, we break down what recovery actually means for roller derby athletes and why it is a non-negotiable part of performance, not a luxury.
We cover:
- why derby places unique stress on the body (impact, rotation, and nervous system load)
- the difference between active recovery and passive recovery
- why soreness is not the same as progress
- common recovery mistakes skaters make
- how to use the “Big Five” recovery pillars: sleep, nutrition, mobility, hot/cold, and nervous system care
Key takeaway: you do not get stronger during training, you get stronger during recovery.
If you want to skate longer, stay healthy, and perform consistently, recovery has to be intentional, not an afterthought.
