Claim to fame? What are you known for? My strange lack of penalties during bouts and ELBOWS HEDDER! smile emoticon
How did your name and number come about? My real name is Heather and Hedder has always been a nickname of mine. So Hedder Hard like “Hit her hard.” Nikki gave me my number, probably because i skated at -200mph when i started derby!
Why derby? How did you get involved? I was recruited in Lakeland by the local derby team but didn’t have the time to invest in it at that stage of my life. When I moved to Sarasota and lacked friends and a workout buddy I decided to check out the local teams. I instantly clicked with the Renegades and the rest is history! 
Most memorable derby moment… When a picture was snapped of me falling during a bout and we couldnt figure out which foot was twisted backward underneath me…how I didn’t break something the world may never know!
Most challenging part of derby for you… The social aspect of it. I am not naturally a social person and it is difficult for me to get outside of my head and my box and put myself out there. My derby sisters do a great job of helping me to open up. (As if they’d give me a choice!)
Favorite part of being a Renegade… being supported no matter what. Knowing that I belong to a super bunch of strong, athletic, classy women that all have the same goal while still being very unique!
