Impossible? Don’t tell Jordan Clark that

BY ALEX K.W. SCHULTZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

It was a shot heard ’round the world — ’round the La Liga world, at least. e shot also happened around the world, o the northeast coast of Spain, every bit of 5,000 miles away from the cozy suburbs of Denver.

On Oct. 2, 2021, in the 17th minute of a match between the Alaves and Barcelona women’s soccer clubs at Johan Cruy Stadium, Alaves’ Nerea Nevado dropped a corner kick into a cluster of players camped outside Barcelona’s goal. e set piece was headed into the upper left corner of the cage, past a diving Barcelona goalkeeper, for a 1-0 Alaves lead.

is was no small thing. Consider: Barcelona hadn’t conceded a single goal up to that point in the season, dismantling its four previous opponents by a combined score of 26-0.

Also consider: Barcelona didn’t lose a single game that season, stomping to a 30-0 record and outscoring the opposition 159-11 on its way to a third consecutive La Liga crown (Barcelona went on to win the La Liga title the following year as well).

Needless to say, scoring against Barcelona, an eight-time La Liga and ninetime Copas de la Reina champion, is a big deal.

You could easily call a moment like that “surreal” or “unbelievable” or one of life’s “top moments.” at’s what the one who put the ball in the net called it, which was certainly warranted in and of itself but especially after everything she’d been through.

Her name: Jordan Clark, a Littleton resident and underRidge’s assistant boys tennis coach.

“To have that moment nally come through and be the rst one to score against them, it was just total elation bursting out all in one second,” Clark said. “ e most unreal moment I could’ve imagined in my soccer career thus far, for sure.”

Listen closely. “ us far,” the soonto-be 34-year-old said. at’s right, the sun hasn’t set on Clark’s soccer career just yet.

Signed with Swedish club

Clark recently inked a contract to play for Sweden soccer club Vetlanda for the 2023-24 season. She’s set to leave for

CITY OF CENTENNIAL

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Tuesday, July 11, 2023, the Centennial City Council passed on first reading:

ORDINANCE NO. 2023-O-08

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CENTENNIAL, COLORADO APPROVING A VACATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY

DIRECTLY WEST OF SOUTH BLACKHAWK STREET SOUTH OF EAST ARAPAHOE ROAD ADJACENT TO LOTS 1, 2, AND 3, BLOCK 1, CENTENNIAL EAST CORPORATE CENTER FILING NO. 2 AND LOT 1, BLOCK 1, CENTENNIAL EAST CORPORATE CENTER FILING NO.

CASE NO. VACP-23-00001. The full text of the ordinance is available for public inspection in the the Nordic country on Aug. 5.

“I keep having to come to these potential crossroads where I have to almost `face my mortality’ as a professional soccer player,” Clark said. “I believe in it. I know I can still play. It’s just a matter of whether an opportunity’s

“If I just keep my head down and keep working hard and trying and hoping and believing that something’s there, so far, it’s worked out.”

Hard work, hope, belief, a neversurrender mentality — those are what have fueled Clark her whole life.

She started as a true freshman at the University of Akron in Ohio. Despite tearing her ACL the following year and redshirting, she went on to become a two-year team captain as an upper- at opportunity came from across the Atlantic, in Karlsruhe, Germany, home to second-tier club Karlsruher FC. Clark was the team’s leading scorer in 2013-14. Impressive, yes. Even more impressive: She played the whole season on a broken ankle.

In 2012, a month before she graduated from Akron, the U.S.’s top-level professional women’s soccer league folded, forcing Clark to look elsewhere for an opportunity to continue playing the beautiful game.

“ at might not have been the wisest decision,” Clark said, chuckling.

After returning to the states, Clark participated in numerous tryouts for the new National Women’s Soccer League, but the answer was always the same: “I got told I did really well, but there was always some reason why I wasn’t going to get signed on and picked up.”

A few years later, Sola Abolaji, Clark’s connections-rich trainer, said there was a potential opportunity for his pupil in office of the City Clerk. The ordinance may be obtained by contacting the City Clerk, 303-754-3324. The full text of the ordinance is also available on the City’s web site, www.centennialcolorado.com.

To comment virtually during the public comment

Austria. Clark boarded the rst plane she could get on. She landed in Vienna on her 32nd birthday.

Same story, though. “I played for several days. I played against Bayern Munich in a scrimmage. e coach said he wanted me, but the club had di erent reasons — nances, paperwork, whatever it was — for not being able to take me on.”

Clark stayed in Austria for a week with “nothing on the horizon,” she said. at is, nothing but hope, belief and a never-surrender mentality.

Future hopes

Clark said she ultimately wants to start her own sports academy and teach athletes young and old about important sports concepts like decisionmaking, reaction time, vision, recovery and pain management (Clark studied nursing as an undergraduate student and sports science and coaching as a graduate student at Akron).

She’s also refusing to completely let go of her long-held dream of playing for the U.S. women’s national team, which might sound crazy to some given that she’s closing in on her mid-30s. But Clark has turned crazy into reality many times before. She’s overcome broken bones and torn ligaments. She’s silenced a lot of naysayers. And, remember, she’s scored against and wounded the Barcelona machine when most others have only dreamed of doing so.

It’d be foolish to count her out at this point.

“Where I’m at now age-wise and experience-wise, it’s very, very unlikely,” Clark said of playing for the national team. “But I’m not taking it o the table completely, just because I’ve already done some impossible things. I can’t not believe in the impossible a little bit.” period, interested parties may call 855-436-3656 and, when prompted to, press *3 to be entered into the speaking queue.
