About the episode
Can Boxing be a meditation?
Steph Kent joins Julie and Todd today to answer this question. In this episode, you will hear three really exciting rounds about why Steph decided to fundraise for cancer research, how she found out about Haymakers and accidentally signed up for a fight. Plus, Steph shares how she confronted her feelings to quit and the amazing idea she had to honor someone in a fight.
JUMP STRAIGHT INTO:
(01:40) - Round 1: Meet Steph, California, Kent - “I don't wanna be reacting to that when it happens. I wanna do everything I can to get rid of this awful disease ahead of time. So, Inspired me to do, um, some sort of fundraising.”
(09:15) - To quit or not to quit - “The temptation of quit is just kind of all around you all the time. But that's the really remarkable thing about Haymakers for Hope they teach you how to sort of channel all these feelings of discomfort and put them onto a cause that's bigger than you.”
(16:27) - Round 2: Fighting for research - “The feeling of being really helpless and feeling like there was nothing to do other than wait is, you know, what sort of initially led me to look for a way to fundraising it for cancer research.”
(22:25) - Round three: Before the bell - “My haymakers fight was wonderful and I didn't have that feeling, that sense of having done everything I could, but it would've been even better if I could just really step out there saying, I gave it absolutely everything I had.”
(26:50) - After the bell: How has boxing continued to be a part of Steph’s life - “Boxing is just the most, uh, incredible mental training for, I always tell people who are, um, who are surprised that I do boxing that, uh, it's really more like chess or like meditation than it is war.”
Not Every Fight Ends at the Bell is presented and produced by Haymakers for Hope, in partnership with StudioPod Media. Our producers are former fighters Jordan McMillan and Julian Lewis.
