In this episode, we sit down with special guest Jeff Garrett to discuss the challenges of balancing life as professional athletes with family commitments. From missing key milestones like birthdays and holidays to navigating long stretches away from home, we share personal journeys of sacrifice and growth. We also reflect on preseason training, the excitement of upcoming games, and the importance of building strong bonds with teammates.

A special shoutout to our sponsor, Dean & David, for their support. Known for fresh, healthy bowls and delicious carrot cake, they’re helping us fuel up with good food both on and off the court. Be sure to check them out and enjoy their meals just like we do!
