Brandon Beland '16 Recruiting Profile

I hope to have the opportunity to share more about myself but let me give you my important points:  

   I love to compete.  To me competing is both the joy of winning as well as the fear of losing but it's more than that; it's a dedication and commitment I have to what I do.  Whether in school or athletics, I pride myself on being the person that's on time, prepared, and ready to give my best effort.  A big part of this is listening and I take pride in being the most coachable player.  I get a lot of compliments on my lacrosse IQ and I feel this comes directly from all I've learned from others in my 8 years playing this and other sports.

   My lacrosse experience has been a major part of my life since I started playing in 3rd grade.  I don't want it to end.  I love playing the game and want to continue to play at the highest level I can.  To me, being a student athlete at a great university is a privilege that I want to experience.  I recognize it's a huge commitment but I know commitment is not something to fear and in all my year's, it's something I've embraced.

   I want to be part of a great college lacrosse program experience.  I don't want to just be on the team, I want to be a strong player and a major contributor at a school that will give me the best education, most rewarding experience, and the best opportunity in the future.  I know this will start me on my adulthood journey where I desire to go on to a great career where I can also give back to the sport and remain a part of lacrosse and its growth for many years.
