The Lost Lectures

This is Rollerderby

In her personal and passionate talk Courtney shares her love for the sport that is ‘for the skaters, by the skaters’. With all its bumps, scrapes and stockings, it’s a sport that empowers women, demonstrates incredible athletic ability and commands a huge following of passionate players and fans. Media owners take note, it’s a serious business: one deserving of some much due recognition.
