A supporter's fight for loved ones and the belief in herself with Jennifer Markowitz Not Every Fight Ends at the Bell
-
- Non-Profit
This episode of "Not Every Fight Ends at the Bell" features Jennifer Markowitz, a Haymakers for Hope charity boxing event participant. Jennifer was motivated to participate in Haymakers after her coach said that she could do it and that he believed in her, giving her the belief in herself. Her connection to the cause is personal, as she lost grandparents to cancer and her mom is a cancer survivor. On fight night, Jennifer experienced some issues with her headgear slipping off but kept fighting through it, showcasing her grit and determination. She sees boxing as transformative - it has allowed her to find confidence and empowerment while also connecting more to the passion and anger she feels around injustice.
Quotes:(00:04:12) "That pushed me forward enough. I was able to say, well, if Noel says that I can do this, I can ignore those voices that say, well, You're supposed to be able to run also like a seven minute mile and you're supposed to be able to do this, this, this, and this. And I can't do those things. So therefore I can't, I was able to kind of ignore those little things and focus on the big picture of, well, somebody in this world believes I can do this, so I'm just going to do it."
(00:23:02) "It's been really exciting to discover this other part of me because that you can be more than one thing has been really exciting."
(00:28:17) "You have this big goal. Stay consistent, but focus on one day at a time. Check one box at a time. That's how you're going to get to the end goal."
