Competing in a CIF Golf match as a freshman in high school will always be a standout moment in his life. Going into the match, Bradley was both excited and nervous. Being so young, surrounded by players who were mostly 17 or 18 players, he knew it would be a tough challenge. Despite the pressure, he played exceptionally well and finished 3rd place out of 25 competitors. This experience will always hold a special place in his heart—playing alongside people almost four years older than him and proving to himself that he could have his own in such a competitive environment. The match taught him so much about the level of competition in golf and gave him an early taste of what it takes to succeed at the highest level. It’s a memory and achievement he will always cherish, especially as a freshman in such a prestigious event.
His dad always told him never to stop trying and never give up, reminding him that life will throw its challenges and obstacles along the way. “There will always be bumps in the road, and sometimes life will throw you a curveball,” his dad would say. “But you can still hit home runs, even if it’s a curveball.” These words stuck with him, shaping his mindset and approach to life. He’s learned to embrace adversity and stay focused, understanding that setbacks are part of the journey. Whether it’s his golf game or schoolwork, he remains committed, never wavering in his dedication. No matter the challenge, he keeps moving forward, always striving to improve and stay on task, knowing that perseverance will lead to success.
