Laird Hamilton : (4) " When I’ve helped out-of-shape friends get back into shape, the first thing we do is get them more accustomed to struggle. You train hard, which is uncomfortable, and then you get sore – and then you’re uncomfortable because you’re sore. But you have to keep going. " - Laird Hamilton " There isn’t a sport in the world – including swimming – that doesn’t involve the foot, so when we train the whole body, we have to include the complex system of muscles, tendons, and joints around the ankle and foot. " - Laird Hamilton " To me, supplements are a necessity, not a luxury. I think of them as medicine: Instead of asking a doctor to prescribe me a drug when I’m ill, I’d rather take something that can help me avoid getting sick in the first place. " - Laird Hamilton " I love espresso… You could give me five shots of espresso, a quarter stick of butter, a quarter stick of coconut oil and other fat, and I’ll drink that. I could go for five or six hours and not even be hungry at the end. Because I’m burning fat. " - Laird Hamilton
