Coach Nadia Kean had coached Gotham Girls Roller Derby before I ever even put on a pair of skates. She has been instrumental in getting countless leagues and individual skaters started on the path to Roller Derby success around the world for over 10 years. Her skill both on and off the track made her an obvious choice for a leadership role on Team USA.
