The US Men’s National Soccer Team is a goal of every young soccer player..

Jordan Morris is part of the 25-man squad taking part in the programs annual January camp located at IMG Academy in Bradenton this year

Jordan is no stranger to the international stage making 39 appearances for the US team with 10-goals but his path to the national team was much different than most.

After the 2014  World Cup, Jordan has been a regular call up for the US. In 2015, after winning the national Championship and player of the year as a junior at Stanford he would leave college for the Seattle Sounders of the MLS.

Growing up in Seattle, this was a dream come true and what many didn’t know about their hometown star, they would soon come to find out.

Jordan was diagnosed at the age of nine with type one diabetes a disorder that affects more than one and quarter million Americans.

"For me there’s just that little extra that I have to think about and Like I said there have been times on the field where I don’t quite feel like myself because my blood sugar is a little bit off so that can be frustrating".

Jordan has used the national and international stage to help create the Jordan Morris Foundation.

"The whole goal is outreach to kids and being able to talk to these kids and let them know the message that diabetes can’t hold them back from doing what they want to do." a

Jordan Morris is living his dream but his presence on the pitch also comes with a powerful message and he is taking advantage of it.

"If I’m able to affect one kids life and just let him or her know that they can accomplish anything they want to accomplish that would make me very happy and proud".
