Bill Lam is a sophomore who plays football at the JV and Varsity level. He also competes in rugby.
How do you feel your most recent game went?
I feel like we did well, played together well, no penalties, communication can definitely be improved upon.
Why are you so passionate about football?
I love the game, coming from someone who didn’t watch or was involved with the game when younger, loves the environment the game creates, has been really enjoyable for me, and playing and playing the game with people I like the most is a great honor to me.
What motivates you to keep working hard?
The chance to get better, to learn a new skill and to compete the very best I can.
When do you find yourself working the hardest?
Not just during practice but outside of it in the weight room or working on my own, rewatching film to see what can be improved upon.
What do you do when faced with pressure?
Try to adapt to it and not to let it get to me, try to thrive based on whatever is happening.
Where do you want to take your football career after high school?
As of now I’m not quite sure, it would be cool to continue football, doesn’t feel it’s gonna be the right thing for me including my interests
How do you manage your time between football, rugby, and your schooling?
To be honest I’m not good at time management between school, football, rugby, all the practices and working out and whatnot but regardless I try my hardest
With a crushing loss to Mishawaka what will the team do to prepare better for upcoming games?
With over 70 yards in penalties we’re gonna work to bring that down, making sure everyone is in the right spots, making sure the line works with each other and not go for each other’s throats.
How do you respond when you underperform?
I try to get past it and continues to work on myself, “can’t get better if I continue to sulk on the past”
What are your expectations going into this season?
I expect us to do many great things and since Penn has many great players and coaches, I think a lot of good things will happen this season.
