Home Season opener jitters.

I am always a little nervous about home openers. I'm sure all athletes experience some of this before competition. The difference in modern day roller derby is that we are not only the athletes, but also the organizers, producers, and promoters of this event. Everything falls on us. Public relations and advertising, coordinating volunteers, setting up the venue, literally everything.

It's daunting. It's a time suck. But if we want to experience the fun part of derby, we have to do the dirty work as well. It's happening this Saturday.
