George Boiardi - Selfless Leader

At the EAD Academy we are looking to help cultivate leadership in our athletes.  One person that we know epitomized everything we stand for as an Academy, was George Boiardi.  George lost his life playing the game he loved, lacrosse.  Captain of the Cornell University Lacrosse team, George threw himself in front of a shot fired by a Binghamton University player, and was subsequently struck in the chest.  Boiardi later passed away at the hospital.

Despite his many academic and athletic accomplishments, George is remembered most for his vibrant personality, his ability to inspire his peers, his willingness to put others before himself, and his desire to help those around him. He legacy still lives on at Cornell University.  The kind of leader we hope to help create in EVERY sport.

NOBODY ADMIRES AVERAGE.
