Jordan’s Journey
Hey thanks for reading this! This is Jordan, and yes, I actually wrote this section (along with the rest of the website!)
After a college career where I played football, basketball, and ran track at the University of Oregon, I was drafted into the NFL. I had the chance to play three years in the NFL for both the Seattle Seahawks and St. Louis Rams, which was an incredible experience, considering I picked up a football for the first time as a junior in college!
I now serve as a sports broadcaster for Pac-12 Networks, CBS Sports Network, and I also do the occasional play by play for Nintendo! However the Just Kids Skill Camps are my greatest professional passion.
Lessons That Last Beyond the Field
Sports have played a huge role in my life ever since I can remember. The lessons learned through practice, failure, effort, and competition shaped me into the man I am today.
Growing up, I’ll never forget the joy I had going to various sports camps during the summer and the lasting impact they had. Some of my life’s fondest memories were from those camp experiences shared with my friends and the relationships built with my coaches.
“There lies so much potential for positive influence in just one short week.”
After a very blessed athletic career thanks in part to those camp experiences, I am honored to be in a position to return the favor to the kids across the west. It is truly our passion to teach, encourage, and interact with our campers every year. We are fueled by the fact that there lies so much potential for positive influence in just one short week.
