Wrenegade

I wish I'd had this book when I started roller derby. If I had, then these are some of the early mistakes I could have avoided:

-Buying crap kneepads
-Buying a second set of crap kneepads
-"Investing" in fishnets
-Being 100% convinced that I was the only person who couldn't T-stop the first time they tried
-Playing a sport while not eating etc. like an athlete

Frisky knows her derby, and conveys a ton of useful information in a manner that is clear and engaging. Much of it will be useful to you whether you've been skating two days or two years. She's also super honest about everything from injuries to how it feels to skate in your first bout. All in all, a fantastic read. Pick it up, strap on your skates, and play some roller derby.
