My performance on the track has drastically improved. During a game in August we played with 10 skaters in a hot building. I felt great and got MVJ. I could have played another game. My endurance for the rest of the season has been incredible.
I have a more positive relationship with myself and am now finding it easier to forgive myself and others when things come up. I'm able to come from a place of gratitude way more often than I used to.
I feel more intentional about the decisions I make and who I spend my time with. I'm better with setting boundaries too.
The Krash Course team and community are constantly lifting each other up, listening, and celebrating each other. Being celebrated and celebrating others in this program has been crucial in my growth.
I was stuck in a loop of not feeling like I was doing enough to improve myself and then over compensating for a few days and then being back to the same place.
The changes I've made in my training and in fueling my body have allowed me to become a better skater in unexpected ways. I'm no longer worried about gassing out before the jam is over. I'm better able to focus on track awareness and communication with team mates. It was really hard to know where the jammer was when I was just focused on being strong enough to hold my plow in a wall.
Now I'm not distracted worrying about physical skills or lack thereof.
Krash Course has influenced pretty much every aspect of my life! From the obvious ones like fueling and meal planning to much less obvious ones like the what I read or how I approach getting my kids ready in the morning or even cleaning my house!
My strength and stamina on track were holding me back, and the course helped improve both more than I could imagine!
I went from being a relief jammer (at best) for the B Team to MVP rostered jammer who scored half of the points in our most recent game!
The amount of success I've had was unexpected! I expected to make progress, but not quite so much! The support both from the coaches and the community was a game changer.
Krash Course has been great at helping me create a routine and giving me the mindset to try to stick to it. I feel more like an athlete, which helps me dig down just a little bit more and find the power for one more jam, one more attempt.
It's helped improve my performance at work because mindset isn't just about derby. Having a morning routine and knowing what my meals and snacks are going to be has helped me be able to focus on work a lot more. And when you feel capable on the track, you start to feel more capable off. You realize what it takes to, again, dig a little deeper and push through. One more client. One more hour. One more whatever.
This program has given me confidence to do my whole life better.
Building a solid foundation enabled me to rapidly improve my performance. I was a freshie when I started Krash Course and was on the tail end of a nine week injury that kept me off skates. I was very frustrated, scared of further injury and doubing if I would ever be able to do anything of value in Derby. I am now very close to passing my first assessments to be cleared for contact, and I am very excited.
Being able to talk to my coach and the community about all the big and little things that I found holding me back gave me a better understanding of what was happening in my head. Feeling supported and knowing that people out there care about my progress and how I am doing gave me courage and motivation to continue showing up for myself.
I did not expect the level of genuine support, love and care I got via Krash Course. Thank You!
My performance has improved greatly.
I started KCIT with only a few months of derby under my belt, and shortly into KCIT I sprained my ankle. I not only was able to continue seeing physical improvements as I healed, but because of KCIT, once I was healed I was able to push harder and improve faster.
My balance is better because of all the off skates workouts, I’m finally getting the hang of using toe stops, and because of the amazing KCIT network I was able to skate as a visitor for a month in Hawaii.
Stepping outside my comfort zone gave me the opportunity to learn so much more about becoming a better jammer. I wouldn’t have accomplished any of this without KCIT
Before Krash Course I would fall into fight or flight mode on the track and it was like everything I knew would just disappear also I would burn myself out alot!!
But when I joined Krash Course they helped me slow down and take care of my body and helped me realize the importance of not overdoing it!!
I finally made it onto my team as a jammer!! Krash Course helped my performance all the way around. I have better footwork and can juke as a jammer and when I block I can actually take hits now and still hold the jammer or reset to keep them and my endurance it amazing on the track now!!
