S1 E38. Syracuse 4 X All American and Professional Skills Trainer Ric "The Beast" Beardsley, Part I.

In our final interview of our inaugural season we had the pleasure of sitting down with the legendary Syracuse defenseman Ric Beardsley!

Ric was a two time high school All American, won gold for the U19 USA Team, and was a four time collegiate All American. Following graduation he founded a lacrosse skills training business that he continues to run to this day. Over the years he has helped many boys and girls achieve their dreams of playing college lacrosse.

In this first installment of our series, Ric tells us of his late mother Angela, who encouraged Ric to play a number of different contact sports, “My mom didn’t want no softie,” Ric explains. Unfortunately, she would pass away from cancer while Ric was in the ninth grade. He dedicated his playing career in her memory. 

Beardsley also recounts the strong influence his middle and high school coaches had upon him as well as describing the intense rivalry his alma mater, Lakeland, had with their in town rivals Yorktown of West Chester County, New York. Sit back and enjoy this high energy exchange, you won’t be disappointed!
