Discovering rugby at age 8 through his father's influence, Lyndon Bailey found freedom on the pitch that contrasted with his role as a football lineman, allowing him to showcase his natural speed with ball in hand. While beginning as a fly-half, Bailey grew into a lock forward where his physique proved ideal, developing particular expertise in lineout jumping. His rugby career has progressed through the Los Gatos Lions, San Mateo Wolverines, California Grizzlies, USA Junior National Team, and currently Western Washington University. Bailey's rugby achievements include captaining his state team and earning selection to represent his country internationally. Beyond rugby, he contributed to his high school football team's success as Division 2 state runners-up in California. Bailey balances his academic studies in business at Western with his athletic commitments through disciplined time management, while maintaining dual goals of elevating Western's rugby program to D1A success and representing the United States in the 2031 Rugby World Cup. Family support, particularly from parents who drove him over an hour to practices multiple times weekly and a brother who "paved the way" athletically, has been fundamental to his journey as he continues developing skills that will serve him in both his sporting and professional future.
