Buy your Commonwealth ticket dad, I will make the selection ✅ This was what Bradley told his dad despite having no idea if he'll make the team! Hello and happy Monday to you, I wanted to share an inspirational story with you Bradley is an elite 400m hurdler, actually, one of the best in Scotland. A few months ago when the qualifying times for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth games were announced, Bradley was half a second away from the standard but he was ready to put in the work and commit so he told his dad to go ahead and buy tickets for the family to come watch him because he was confident he would make it! Let me explain qualifying times. So for 400m, the qualifying times could be say 44 seconds. This means, to even be eligible for selection into the team, you must have ran that time or lower Bradley had to run the standard qualifying time between May and June which is the same time as his Medical School finals at the University of Aberdeen. Not an easy feat! As if Medical School wasn't hard enough 😥 Bradley's dad told me then that he was just working hard, training at the gym, training on the track, training when he's up in Aberdeen studying and training when he's down in Edinburgh with his family. It was non-stop training in pursuit of the dream Names were announced by Team Scotland last week and yes Bradley was included in the team!!! This is extra-special for me because I have known Bradley since he was a young boy in primary school and there was a photo of him and the family at the Commonwealth games in 2014 as spectators watching Usain Bolt but now in 2026, he's going as an athlete Dreams do come true How much are you willing to chase yours? What sacrifice are you willing to make in the pursuit of your dreams? Congrats to all the selected athletes and clubs and come on Scotland!!! On a side note - Bradley was the Sports Person Of The Year award winner last year at The Black Scottish Awards so a worthy win!!! #Glasgow2026 #Commonwealthgames #sports #wellness
