Playing Career
Growing up in Kittanning, PA, Jordan played on boys teams due to the lack of girls programs—eventually earning the role of captain and leading goal scorer of her high school team.
She went on to play Division II soccer at Clarion University, before continuing her career with Hamilton Academicals F.C. in the Scottish Women's Premier League.
After returning to Pittsburgh, she competed in the Women's Premier Soccer League with Steel City FC before retiring from competitive play in 2021.
Why She Started On the Ball Training
After experiencing multiple injuries during her playing career, Coach Jordan became passionate about one mission:
Helping female athletes train smarter, stay healthy, and reach their full potential.
Female athletes are significantly more likely to suffer serious injuries like ACL tears—but too often, they are not given training programs designed specifically for their bodies.
That's where On the Ball Training is different.

What Sets On the Ball Training Apart
We don't just run drills—we develop complete athletes.
Every session is built around a holistic training approach that combines:
Technical Development
Players receive personalized, high-repetition training tailored to their skill level, position and personal goals.
Strength & Injury Prevention
Sessions include targeted strength, stability, and movement training designed specifically for female athletes—helping reduce their risk of injury and improve performance.
Confidence & Soccer IQ
We create an environment where athletes feel pushed to elevate their game, while simultaneously growing in confidence and deepening their love of the sport! Players are challenged to understand the why behind what we are doing in training so that they can gain a deeper understanding of the game.
A Personalized Approach
Every athlete starts with an evaluation to identify strengths, weaknesses, and goals. From there, training is customized to ensure consistent progress and measurable improvement.
Support Beyond the Session
Player development doesn't stop when training ends!
On the Ball Training provides our athletes with:
- Ongoing feedback
- At-home training guidance
- Video clips and coaching breakdowns
Our players understand that to reach their goals, they need to work on their skills at home. So we are here to support this part of their development as well!
