Jorda James '26 Recruiting Profile

Hello, I'm Jorda, and I'm excited to share my journey and passion for soccer with you.

My soccer journey began five years ago.

In the 2022-2023 Alberta Youth Soccer League (AYSL) seasons, I was my club team's top scorer and the league's second-top scorer. Please check out my video showcasing the variety of my shots. At times, I’ve had the opportunity to play the #10 role, utilizing my ball control and vision to create scoring opportunities for my teammates. In addition to playing for my club, I was selected to participate in Alberta’s High-Performance Program. As a squad of 2006-2008 born players, we competed in Alberta’s League1. This experience allowed me the opportunity to play against university players, where we placed 3rd amongst 7 teams in Alberta’s overall standings. Competing in both leagues has strengthened my individual performance, but also fostered my belief in the power of teamwork and camaraderie.

But my journey extends beyond the soccer pitch. I have a love for music and have been playing the piano for seven years, earning honors in my 2023 and 2024 piano exams. I've volunteered my musical talents by performing at coffee shops, retirement homes, and recreation facilities. I've also taken part in volunteer work with my teammates, collectively raising thousands of dollars for our local food bank.

Outside of soccer and music, I love travelling, connecting with friends and family, reading suspense thriller books, and exploring the outdoors. Give me a beach and a beautiful sunset and I’m there!

As I continue to develop my soccer skills and gain invaluable experience, my goal is clear: to contribute my talent, dedication, and team spirit to a collegiate soccer program.

Thanks for reading my profile!
