My family is my "pit crew" and assist in getting my skates ready for whatever floor I need to play in. I alway try to eat Qdoba for lunch. Specifically a burrito bowl. Sour patch kids for a little boost of sugar. Music is also my motivator and a must listen to get me in derby zone. Also, my extensive bout face makeup ritual. #showtimesynergy
