Never. Give. Up.

Bio: Born amidst a realm adorned with glitter and pulsating beats, Iggy appeared as a radiant force within the roller derby dimension.

Derby History: Iggy started their roller derby journey with cape fear in 2016 and has worn many hats over the years including coaching new recruits and holding a board position.

Sport History: They played soccer from elementary school until 2012, when they left for the Air Force, but have dabbled in a little bit of everything active including climbing, kayaking, and volleyball.

“Never. Give. Up. I know it sounds cliché but it’s true even if you feel like crap or are getting frustrated with yourself keep on pushing. Go to that practice. Put in that little extra time. You’ll feel so much better and It’s beyond worth it.” - Iggy ImpaleYa
