Hello my name is Braden Luedeker. 

My goals and aspirations at the collegiate level are to win a Heisman trophy, to obtain a Masters Degree, to graduate at the top of my class, and to form a brotherhood that lasts a lifetime. I have a heart that desires to please Jesus Christ in everything I do. I thrive and perform under pressure. I'm relentlessly dissatisfied with my current performance leading me to continuously strive for improvement. My workout routines consist of 5AM workouts with a trainer 5 days a week, plus working with a track coach one additional day per week. These workouts are in addition to my school workouts. I hold academics and football at the same level. For me it's not about thriving in just athletics, but excelling in the classroom as well. While I am currently in the top 10% of my class, with hard work I will graduate in the top 5%. I constantly seek the opportunity to take honors courses or collegiate level classes during the Summer. For example, I completed two Harvard courses during the summer entering my freshman year. These classes were Rhetoric Art of Persuasion, Public Speaking and Foreign Policies. I will be enrolling in dual credit courses this Summer and during both my Junior and Senior years.
