Reid’s coaches and commanding officer also have high expectations of him.
“Private Reid’s selection for the team to the Commonwealth Games is remarkable for a number of reasons,” said Major Kevron Henry, the JDF’s boxing officer.
“He has had relatively little time to prepare given the operational duties required of him as a result of the events in May.
“In addition, his training facilities and resources will probably not be up to the standards of some of his competitors in Delhi. But his accomplishments speak volumes about his own personal strength of character as well as the JDF’s ability to produce fine soldiers who can excel and achieve despite improbable odds”, Henry said.
Reid left the island for the Games last week. He will begin his quest in Delhi on Tuesday.
