As the season wears on, it's natural to start feeling a little fried. Jam Slanders offers tips on dealing with burnout, and how to know when it's time to move on.
Greetings, folks, I’m Jam Slanders and I’m here to tell you what to do with your life. I consult with a broad range of skaters, liquors, and knowledgeable media sources (“Always bet on black!”—Wesley Snipes, Passenger 57) to bring you the answers to all of your derby-related questions. I’m here to answer your questions about psychological, interpersonal, and social questions and issues related to playing derby, training questions, and other fun stuff (just not how you can get rid of that itchy rash you picked up at your last afterparty). You can reach me at [email protected].
All questions you pose will be completely anonymous, so feel free to come up with your own fun pseudonym or we’ll make one for you.
