From Marching Band to MVP - How Mad Madam Mim Built Confidence, Strength, and a Derby Mindset

Ever felt like you’re doing “all the things” off-skates but nothing’s translating on track? 

Or maybe your heart is pounding with anxiety before practice even starts? DJ Criste—aka Mad Madam Mim—knows exactly how that feels.

In this powerful and practical episode, I sit down with Mim to unpack her journey from random workouts and roller derby overwhelm to becoming an MVP-caliber athlete with game-day focus and legit confidence.

You’ll hear:

• The difference between random workouts and intentional derby training
• How Mim turned anxiety into performance using mindset tools and breathwork
• Why customizing your workouts (even from home!) is key to consistency
• How routines, recovery, and coaching support created lasting change
• What she did to earn her spot on the roster—and become proud to call herself an athlete

If you’re ready to ditch doubt and start training like you mean it, this is your sign.
