I also trained out my blink reflex as a teen, quite deliberately. I was an ice hockey goalie. Getting scored on by successful saves I had made that bounced out to the stick of an opponent got old. I trained myself to take a hit off my facemask and watch the rebound so I could move and block it. (I was told many times you cannot train out that reflex. Well, I did and make quite a few saves to prove it.)
