The Commonwealth Games in Glasgow are officially underway. New Zealand's scaled back team of 114 athletes have been welcomed at an opening ceremony, led by flag bearing weightlifter David Liti and baton bearing judoka Moira de Villiers. The country returned 50 medals at Birmingham four years ago, 20 of them gold. Chef de Mission Nigel Avery told Mike Hosking he doesn't have a medal goal – instead their goal is to make sure every athlete succeeds to their level. He says they know some will get on the podium, and they hope there's a lot of them, but they don't think about specific numbers. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week Brian and Harrison intro the show by covering all the major topics in their lives and within the AFL, including: The unfortunate footy headlines of the past week, the upcoming Glasgow Commonwealth Games, the FIFA World Cup, the Alex de Minaur secret wedding, and the LeBron James trade situation. Finally, Brian shares a crazy untold story comparable to Josh Worrell's recent incident.  Their guest this week is Olympic gold medallist, cycling commentator, and all-round good bloke, Scott McGrory. He joins the boys for one of the most remarkable stories we've heard on the podcast. Scott's sporting journey reads like a movie script. After winning a bronze medal in the Team Pursuit at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, he endured a 12-year wait before returning to the Olympic stage. Then came the fairytale, winning gold alongside Brett Aitken in the Madison at the 2000 Sydney Olympics in front of a home crowd. But what makes the achievement even more extraordinary is what Scott was carrying with him at the time. Just three months before those Games, he and his family suffered the heartbreaking loss of his 11-month-old son, Alexander. Scott opens up about navigating unimaginable grief while continuing to pursue his Olympic dream, making for a powerful conversation about resilience, perspective, and the people who helped him through it. The boys also dive into Scott's life beyond competing, including his role as a high-performance coach, how elite cyclists are developed, and what it takes to identify and nurture future champions. As a former Australian Olympic team selector, Scott also lifts the lid on the selection process and the difficult decisions that come with choosing athletes to represent the country on the world's biggest stage. There are plenty of laughs mixed in too, with Scott's down-to-earth nature and great sense of humour shining through throughout the chat. Inspiring, insightful, and full of perspective, this is an incredible conversation with a man who has experienced the highest highs and the toughest lows, and handled both with remarkable grace.

Claudia Hollingsworth is one of the most exciting middle-distance prospects in Australian athletics history. And when you look back upon her career, there’s little wonder why. By 16 years old, Claudia was already competing against open-age fields and just a year later made her international debut at the World U20 Championships. By 19, she was crowned the Australian National 800m Champion and went on to make the Olympic semi-finals in Paris, setting her up for success on the global stage against the world's absolute best in the Diamond League. Now, she’s back on the track, shattering under-20 records and sharing her pure love for running after overcoming early career racing setbacks.

Episode 78 - Preparing for Glasgow with Kelsey Cottrell, Selina Goddard & Teri Blackbourn The Road to Glasgow continues as DJ sits down with three of the leading women in international bowls: Australia's Kelsey Cottrell and New Zealand representatives Selina Goddard and Teri Blackbourn. Kelsey is preparing for her fourth Commonwealth Games after previously winning bronze, silver and gold on the Commonwealth stage. She discusses the challenge of earning selection in a reduced Australian squad, balancing international competition with family life and preparing to skip under the pressure of a 30-second shot clock. She also explains why her preparation has become highly specific, from practising on carpet and using her Glasgow bowls to working on quick decision-making, pre-shot routines and the tactical demands of the shortened format. Selina returns to Glasgow, where she made her Commonwealth Games debut in 2014. She shares why her preparation remains firmly process-focused rather than outcome-focused and explains the importance of adaptability, deliberately practising on unfamiliar rinks and making every minute of limited preparation time count. Teri prepares for her first Commonwealth Games after an incredible rise through the outdoor game, which has already included a world championship and a World Cup singles silver medal. She discusses balancing bowls with work and family, the value of her indoor bowls background and what it means to have her two boys travelling to Glasgow to support her. Simon and DJ then break down the major lessons club bowlers can take from these elite athletes, including: • Being event-specific with your practice• Focusing on your process rather than the result• Training yourself to adapt quickly• Changing rinks, lengths and conditions during practice• Preparing for the pressure moments before they arrive• Trusting your technique and established routines• Making every bowl count in a shortened format With the Glasgow Commonwealth Games fast approaching, this episode provides a fascinating look behind the scenes at the preparation, sacrifice and mindset required to compete on one of bowls' biggest stages.

Wow. We've aways known how much of an incredible athlete Paige Hadley is, but in Super Netball round nine on the Mother's Day weekend, she defied expectations to make it back onto court just 10 weeks after giving birth to her baby boy Tully. In this raw and emotional interview, the Aussie Diamonds midcourter and NSW Swifts longest-serving player speaks about the support of her own mother and her partner Jordan and how her speedy return wouldn't be possible without their help. She reacts to the hurtful, negative commentary that has surrounded her journey, whether it be people doubting she'd be able to compete again at the top level or people suggesting she should be at home instead with her baby and stick to being a mum. Hadley also shares her goals regarding the upcoming Glasgow Commonwealth Games and whether she is aiming to be selected for that major tournament.We thank Paige for being so vulnerable and opening up on such personal topics on The Netty Life. This might just be our most favourite interview yet.
