A journey that has developed into creating an impactful community, so no athlete has to go through an ACL recovery alone.
As a young athlete, Jordan’s story started with a humble beginning playing soccer. She wasn’t the best, but that helped build up a drive in her to create her opportunities on the field. With every dream comes adversity and Jordan faced it three times in the form of an ACL tear on the same knee throughout her soccer career.
Devasted, feeling every possible emotion Jordan wanted to create something she wished she had during her ACL tears, a community.

In the past few years, the ACL Club has become an inspiring community that making a tough situation a lot less lonely.
