At 16, Jordan was a rising star athlete with scholarships and a bright future ahead. That all changed in an instant when a tragic accident left him paralyzed, forcing him to confront a new reality and the loss of his dreams. Paralyzed and broken in every sense, his confidence, charisma, and talent felt like distant memories.
Then came the phone calls. “Hello, Mr. Meyer, this is Coach so-and-so from Arizona State. We heard about your accident. Unfortunately, your scholarship was conditional on your ability to play football.” Calls from Colorado State, Texas, Nebraska, Stanford, and more soon followed.
But luckily, that’s not how his story ends.
Eventually, Jordan learned to walk again and even managed to cross the stage at his high school graduation. Yet, in many ways, he is still healing.
Amid the darkness of his struggle, his mother’s unwavering love and support ignited a spark of hope within him. Through her encouragement, Jordan found the strength to redefine his identity and embark on a journey of resilience and self-discovery. Today, he stands as a beacon of hope and inspiration, dedicated to sharing his story with schools and teenagers across the nation. Jordan speaks passionately about overcoming adversity, finding hope in the face of trials, and embracing a new identity beyond unforeseen challenges.
His powerful message resonates with young audiences, empowering them to navigate their own struggles and emerge stronger and more resilient. Through his talks, Jordan encourages teens to find the light within themselves, even in the darkest of times, and to believe in the possibility of a brighter future.
Through it all, he found his voice and became a mental health and trauma counselor. In his work, he has discovered that every student wants to feel loved, to matter, and to belong. He currently serves as TEEN TRUTH’s Best Mental Health Speaker and is a CMHC / CCTP offering counseling services in the Salt Lake City area of Utah.
