Personal Interests:

Garrett is a keen participant, spectator and coach of a wide range of sports.

Soccer has been a constant throughout his life. Since kicking a ball on the street as a child, he has been in countless dressing rooms as a player and pitch side as team doctor. He loves nothing more than being part of a backroom team supporting elite athletes to achieve their best.

He understands the frustrations of injuries for athletes at all levels and loves working with patients to get them back doing what they love. His playing days may be over but he still loves to stay active in the outdoors whatever way he can..
