Bill Belichick

Bill Belichick, born on 16 April 1952, is best known as an American football coach, but this atlas records him as a lacrosse player. Growing up in Annapolis, Maryland, he played football and lacrosse at Annapolis High School, and lacrosse was his favorite sport. At Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, he played football and also played lacrosse and squash, and he captained the lacrosse team in his senior season before graduating with an economics degree in 1975. His coaching career, which brought a record number of Super Bowl wins with the New England Patriots, began that same year. His lacrosse connection continued through his family: his daughter Amanda played lacrosse at Wesleyan and later became a head women's lacrosse coach, and his son Stephen played lacrosse as well.
