Pavlove // Patrick Stump FF

Have you ever heard of "Pavlov's Dog" experiment? It's all about retraining the brain - reacting a specific way to a certain stimulus. Take for example, the stimulus were someone taking a swipe at your head. One of two basic instincts occur: take cover and hide - or fight back.

As a professional female boxer, my instinct is to fight back - it's part of the job description. But conditional training has rewired my brain to be ready for a fight whenever I hear my favorite band, Fall Out Boy. So you better believe I listen to them on repeat before a match.

My advantage puts me on the map, and my growing spotlight seems to attract a particular member of the band. But what happens when not only my brain gets rewired, but my heart as well?

As they say - your greatest strength is also your greatest weakness.
