MILTON, Mass. – Following the cancellation of the spring seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including Senior Days, the Curry College Athletic Department wanted to give the senior student-athletes time to reflect on their career with the Colonels.
We continue our Senior Reflection web series and today we have Mike Collins (Franklin, Mass.) from men's lacrosse:
Major: Management
Favorite Thing About Your Sport: My favorite thing about lacrosse is the competition. Anyone playing at this level has put in a lot of work developing their skills and as a community, we take pride in that.
Favorite Moment on the Field With the Colonels: My favorite moment on the field was when we defeated Roger Williams in the programs' first ever playoff win. To be a part of program history like that is something I will never forget.
What Being a Student-Athlete Has Taught You: Being a student athlete taught me how to juggle my responsibilities on and off the field while also knowing what my priorities are.
What You'll Miss Most About Your Team, Curry, and Being a Student-Athlete: I will miss a lot about being a Colonel. Most of all, I am going to miss getting out of class, going to the locker room, and seeing all the guys. I am also going to miss winning and celebrating those wins with my teammates.
Plans Post-Graduation and How Being a Student-Athlete Has Prepared You For Your Future Career Goals: I have accepted a job as a Project Engineer for a local general contracting company and I also plan on staying involved in the lacrosse community. Being a student-athlete has prepared me to use my time most effectively and take on multiple tasks at once.
What Advice You Would Give to Future Colonel Student-Athletes: The relationships you will make in the locker room and classroom will last a lifetime. Take advantage of your time on the field and have fun.
