This episode features Rachel Hogan, an alumni fighter from the Bells of the Brawl 2019 event. Rachel discusses how she got involved with Haymakers for Hope by first attending EverybodyFights gym and taking photos at Haymakers events. She was inspired to sign up as a fighter after seeing her then-boyfriend (now husband) go through the training process.
Rachel talks about the difficulty many women face in embracing the aggressiveness needed for boxing, and how she had to adopt an aggressive "character" during training. Her coach Chris DeVega provides commentary praising Rachel's hard work and positive attitude.
The episode also includes a segment from fighter Luke, who is preparing for an upcoming Haymakers event after battling cancer. He discusses how the training stacks up against other challenges like football camp and cancer treatment.
Quotes:
(00:24:14]) Rachel: "Trust the process. I feel like that's a really cliche thing, but it's true. Trust the process, trust your coach."
(00:31:27) Rachel: "If I had to choose one to photograph over and over and over again, I think I already said it. It would have to be bells just cause something about having all female fighters and like when girls friends show up to cheer you on, like the cheer squad for an all female event is unreal."
(00:33:20) Rachel: "I've definitely gained a level of self confidence and like strength that I always want to continue. Embracing again, like I was kind of not like timid, but I wasn't really a pushing forward in the ring and metaphorically kind of a person. So it's definitely helped me become stronger."
