Luke Apperson has played it all—swim, wrestling, hoops, golf, football & baseball. 110% effort, coachable, and all heart!

Luke loves the thrill of competition, the bond with his teammates, and the constant challenge to improve. Sports push him to grow mentally and physically, while giving him some of his best memories and friendships. Being on the field, court, or course is where he feels most at home.
Luke is inspired by his coaches and teammates who push him to be his best. They’re more than teammates—they’re close friends and like family. Their belief in him motivates him to work hard, lead with heart, and never give less than his best.
After being cut from a team, Luke didn’t give up—he trained harder, improved, and earned even better opportunities. His response showed maturity, grit, and heart. He’s now more focused, coachable, and motivated than ever. We couldn’t be prouder of his dedication and resilience.
