coaches are bastards

Q: Why do derby girls wear kneesocks?
A: To hide the strapping tape.



Like the perfect ballet dancer, the perfect rollergirl is a mythical beast. The human body is not meant to bend and stretch in the ways we do. A coach told me I would not be allowed to skate if I didn't get the pain in my legs checked out by a physio, and the physio opined that I'm a few steps away from giving myself a stress fracture. I have been informed I should "take it easy" for a little while.

...yeah good luck with that.

(Yes, I have a tattoo on my foot. I have many tattoos.)
