(BLOOMINGTON) - A season-ending soccer injury changed IU junior Allison Jorden’s life forever, but not in the way she expected.
Samantha Thompson reports that the all-star athlete admits she lost part of herself when she learned the devastating news that her injury would keep her from finishing the 2017-18 soccer season. Suddenly finding herself with unexpected free time, she struggled at first to find a meaningful way to fill it.
Jorden, who has been involved with organizations that support individuals with special needs since she was in high school, decided to harness her energy into the creation of Everybody Plays, an Indiana University club that gives IU athletes the opportunity to mentor people with physical and intellectual disabilities through sport. Since the club's creation, more than 70 IU athletes have participated.
