Casey Kelly '22 Recruiting Profile

My number one biggest influencer is my father, Holy Cross Hall of Fame 2019 for Lacrosse.  My dad introduced me to the game of lacrosse when I was about 6 years old.  We love talking about the game, throwing the ball around, shooting, and watching college lacrosse and the PLL.  

I've heard from my coaches that I rise to the occasion, that I give it my all, that I go 110%.  I am also a leader, and I like to take charge of my team so that we all play the best.  I'm captain of my team for the junior year, and senior year as well.  I'm told that I am a polite person to adults and that I am respectful to my friend's parents.   I study and try really hard in school.  

I believe I would be a great team player on a college-level team.  I love playing hard.  I love the game.  I do what is asked by my coach, and more.  One of my coaches told me that I am "a coach's dream player".   I am proud that I have learned how to be a great team player.  I think that is the MOST important part of being a good player, being a team player.   Rising to the occasion, and doing whatever it takes to get a win for my team.  

I have learned through lacrosse that I can handle stressful situations really well.   I know how to deal with different personalities, and to be a peace-keeper when times get heated.
