Hello everyone! My name is Jordan Coates McBride, I am a Men’s Track and Field athlete at the University of North Texas, specializing in both hurdle races. I am identified by my being a vegan D1 athlete and my aspirations to continue in the sport beyond college as a member of the Canadian Olympic/World Teams. I am a Kinesiology Major, with a love for helping others by utilizing my passions in nutrition, mental health, and overall education on healthy lifestyle choices. As mentioned before I am vegan and that coupled with being a D1 athlete, I have a unique opportunity to show the world how I not only balance that but thrive in it as well, just as they could. I use my social media accounts like Instagram (@ jordan.coates_) and YouTube (@ jordan.coates)to showcase this, and use them as a means to continue to be a voice in the sport realm currently and in the future. I would love to get to talk more about my aspirations that this platform can provide me, as I cannot fit it all in a bio.
