Derby Diary
A few cool things... 1. I GOT CLEARED FOR CONTACT!! I honestly thought I wasn't going to be cleared because my plow stops are trash, but I was! Meaning I can participate in contact drills at all practices. We've started practicing basic hitting and it's been so. much. fun. 2. I got to try my hand at jamming for the first time tonight, and OH MY GOD I'M IN LOVE. And more than that, I was actually good at it!! One of the other skaters even commented on my footwork, saying it looked awesome. GAH! It was such a confidence boost. Especially after falling a bunch in the blocking drills. Based on these two accomplishments, I'm actually thinking I might be in good enough shape to be drafted come fall (assuming I'm able to pass the scrimmage test). I'm actually letting myself get my hopes up a little.
