E2 Amy Langley-Smith
Manage episode 426426487 series 3583496
Amy Langley-Smith is captain of Kent Roller Derby Team (at time of recording). Roller Derby originates from the USA and if you’ve seen it you will know it is a fast paced, contact sport. Historically, Derbys were put on for entertainment, with skaters being violent for added dramatic effect. Nowadays Derby skaters are passionate about their sport and they have to be tough to win. What I want to know is how do these hardcore athletes train and bout around their menstrual cycles.
Amy opens up about her experiences of periods as a sporty teenager, period proofing her Derby kit and what it is like skating with the boys.
