Braden Olsen '26 Recruiting Profile

I am a versatile athlete and have played several sports and positions. I have played soccer, baseball, basketball, and football but lacrosse is the sport I love and am dedicated to. I started lacrosse in 3^rd grade playing midfielder but decided to try goalie in 5^th grade. I quickly learned that goalie is the position I want to play.

I work out almost every day.  My current one rep max lifts are 425lbs for squat, 450lbs for deadlift, and 275 for bench press.

I have strong stick skills, quick hands, and good hand-eye coordination which helps me do well playing goalie. I can pass very accurately and have the stick skills and speed to carry the ball downfield when needed which helps clear the ball quickly after making a save.

I am not a partier and want to attend a school where I can focus on my academics and I have a chance to compete for playing time, adding value to the team's growth.

I look forward to helping my high school team make it back to the State Championships for a third year in a row.  I am also dedicated to continuing my lacrosse career in college.
