About this episode

Lily Gaskell shares her journey into roller derby and the importance of taking chances while also discussing her passion for chocolate and training.

Listen to this episode and learn the power of chocolate! A sweet special guest this week -- Lily Gaskell! Lily steered away from sports as a young person and found roller derby at age 19 following her sister's lead into the sport. Lily has skated for Sheffield Roller Derby, Rainy City Roller Derby, and as co-captain of Team England at the Roller Derby World Cup last year. Lily's lessons of taking chances, being brave, and going for the life you want are an inspiring listen. Besides derby, Lily loves making chocolate, has a t-shirt business, being a personal trainer, and will perform at your wedding if you ask nicely. ;-) Strike the Forge is a 12 week training program for contact athletes that will help you with plyometrics, agility, strength conditioning, balance work, recovery, anything and everything you need to go along with your on skates training.
