Sweat 60: Jordan Harder
As a young athlete, I was always looking for my competitive edge. What could I do that would set me apart from the competition.
The week before graduating high school, I broke my wrist longboarding. Worried I wouldn’t be able to play college lacrosse in the fall, I put all my focus into learning about the recovery process to heal faster and come back stronger. Through this experience, I realized that I had a passion for understanding how the body worked.
When I started college at Pacific Lutheran University, I enrolled in a sports psychology class taught by Olympic Sports Psychologist- Dr. Colleen Hacker. I knew I wanted to find a way to combine my passion for the body with the mental skills needed to help people reach their goals. After graduating with a BS in Kinesiology and Sports Psychology, I spent time working in Physical Therapy, coaching high school lacrosse, training high school, college, and professional athletes, and helping people reach their fitness and weight goals.
My coaching style focuses on how we can look good, perform our best, and do the things we love for as long as we can.
Athletic Lab: Jen Shen
Jen Shan is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, earning her degree from the University of Southern California. She found her love of physical therapy during her time in the sports medicine internship program at UCLA, where she worked on rehabilitation programs for UCLA basketball, beach volleyball, and track & field athletes. Not only did she love the science behind human movement, she also loved the joy she saw in her athletes when they could finally get back to participating in the sport they loved.
Jen has extensive experience in post-operative and conservative rehabilitation of sports related injuries in active populations, but regardless of diagnosis, she prides herself in being her patients proudest (and loudest) cheerleader throughout rehab! She believes the ability to move your body is one of the greatest and most under-appreciated gifts in this world, which makes her feel blessed to help people get back to pain-free motion.
On the weekends, you can catch Jen listening to live music, travelling, navigating the great outdoors, skiing, and golfing.
