Garret Corbett

As an EOD technician for more than 10 years, Garrett Corbett has been exposed to numerous
blasts and detonations causing loss of consciousness and impacting his head. This causes him to struggle every day with cognitive, memory and sensory problems. He received multiple
awards in his career but says that his greatest achievement is being a father. One thing he learned
since being a part of AFW2 is that going it alone is not always the best way to recover. He said,
“I’ve learned that sharing and growing with others will return better results than trying to go about
things on your own. Life is one big journey and the big picture is what is most important.” He uses
adaptive sports as part of that journey and says, “It has shown me that even with injuries, we can
still learn new things and excel at them. Those lessons carry over to every other aspect of life and
provide a positive growth mindset for recovery.”
