This week's episode is all about roller derby!
Meet Halee Daily, aka #44 The 4closer, a Roseville, California-based roller derby athlete. She has (knock on wood) played injury-free roller derby since 2009, primarily as a dedicated starting jammer on the Sacred City Derby Girls Sacrificer All-Star Team out of Sacramento. From 2011-2016, she was also Sacred's strategy and jammer coach. She set a team record by playing 56 consecutive Women’s Flat Track Roller Derby Association or WFTDA bouts from 2009-2015. This year, she joined the 10th ranked Bay Area Derby All Stars, and competed with them in the WFTDA International Playoffs in Seattle last month.
Halee and I go way back, as you will hear in this interview. We talk about the life-changing community that is roller derby, her evolution as a skater and an athlete, and how she continues to focus on having fun in a fiercely competitive sport.
