It usually riles them up even more when I just smile and keep playing my game.

While they may think they are the ones getting under the other teams skin, I think they make themselves more vulnerable by being explosive and emotional.

Also, these same players all said "I let my hips talk shit in my game." I totally and utterly agree with them.Elektra Q-Tionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03732580444053444826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370556203694333428.post-81379571277950844132013-07-26T08:22:26.470-04:002013-07-26T08:22:26.470-04:00yes, Jonas!

Tot...yes, Jonas!

I can talk the talk and not lose sight of the game. But there will be players who do talk and don't focus. I just had this convo the other night with my teammate about this, I may have to work on inserting my talk game at appropriate times.chrstyb72https://www.blogger.com/profile/06593100527817208752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370556203694333428.post-14312661648535168472013-07-25T13:42:52.083-04:002013-07-25T13:42:52.083-04:00of note: if a person can, indeed, talk shit and sk...of note: if a person can, indeed, talk shit and skate then it can be used as an advantage. trash talking during sports competition has a pretty long and rich history... some players use it as a tool to get in their opponent's head. i only mention it because i think derby, in general, could make use of a thicker skin. we play a collision sport and it's not all friendly all the time. <br /><br />i will mention that experienced trash talkers leave it on the track. i've been involved in plenty of bouts where someone comes off like they're my sworn enemy and they hate the sight of my face... then after the bout it's back to derby family friendliness...Jonas Downerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12845891748257336190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370556203694333428.post-21279062181659213452013-07-25T11:08:30.345-04:002013-07-25T11:08:30.345-04:00I loved this!
