Billy Beggs '22 Recruiting Profile

My name is William Beggs.  I am a defenseman at Archbishop John Carroll High School in Pennsylvania.  I have been playing lacrosse since third grade.  I love playing lacrosse and more specifically defense because of the physical aspect of the game.  I love working together with my teammates and building bonds with new teammates that I have not played with before such as school transfers or underclassmen.  The game of lacrosse helps me develop my physical and mental skills.  Playing lacrosse in college would help me further develop those skills such as quick thinking, self-discipline, and physical strength.  I am a very coachable player.  I listen when coaches or other players give me advice and constructive criticism.  I also try to give advice to my teammates to help them develop their game.  I try to act as a leader off the field as well as on it. One of my goals for my junior year is to be named a captain of my high school team.  I always try my best to set an example for the underclassmen and for my own friends and classmates.  I want to study Aerospace Engineering in college and want to work at NASA after college.  Overall, I feel as if lacrosse prepares you for the real world by, most importantly, increasing your teamwork skills which are an important factor when it comes to jobs, relationships, and the rest of your life.
