“I don’t want losing to be my fault. I don’t want it to be on me. I want to make sure my stuff is correct. When it comes down to it and I’ve got to go mano y mano to get a stop, my team counts on me to do it. So I get a regimen which will prepare me and I go do it.”
His regimen includes smart eating. Garnett has a private chef in the off-season who prepares good, healthy carbohydrates and protein meals.
“People ask me all the time, ‘Do you love running on the beach, on the sand?’” “Nah, but I do love getting better.”
Getting up early before the sun rises is the hardest part of his workout. “I hear that alarm and I know I’ve got to put one foot down, then the other, wash my face, brush my teeth, and shower,” he says. “Once I hit the sand, I’m good. The air hits them lungs and you see the sun coming up.”
“We don’t worry about who’s the underdog or who’s favored. That’s just somebody’s opinion. What we worry about is getting our chemistry right. That’s what wins.”
“When you chase a dream, you chase it wholeheartedly. Once you capture it, you embrace it. You know what it feels like, you know the steps it took to get there. You know what it took to be able to scream”
