People find it pretty novel that we work with the Gore Gore Rollergirls. It’s a campy fledgling sport that is modeled on an even campier fledgling sport from the late 1970s. We find it novel too, since most of the girls are hilarious. However, they’ve also got a ton of fight in them. More importantly for us, they’ve also seen how a proper strength and conditioning program can pay off.

We went to watch the girls compete last weekend and witness first-hand how their game is improving. Jam after jam, the ladies out-maneuvered, out-paced and out-conditioned their opponents. In particular, I could see how their increased power helped them stay on their feet when getting shoulder checked. There were several occasions where the women on the other team looked legitimately confused as to why their opponents weren’t going down.

Way ahead by the final period, the Gore Gore Rollergirls continued to push themselves. As tired as they were, they knew that they had strong recovery mojo. Using this newly developed attribute to their advantage, they  further increased their lead, ending the game with a score of 151-71. For the mathematically challenged out there, that’s more than double. What I’m trying to tell you is that they kicked ass.

Next stop: the finals.
