COACH CEEJAY

THE PILLARS IN COACH CEEJAY’S LIFE THAT HAVE LEAD HIM DOWN THE PATH OF SUCCESS ARE: GOD, FAMILY AND ATHLETICS. COACH CEEJAY WAS BORN IN FRANKLIN, TENNESSEE AND RAISED IN THE SMALL TOWN OF SPRING HILL, TENNESSEE. MAINLY RAISED BY HIS MOTHER AND STEP FATHER WITH HIS TWO SISTERS, THE TRANSITION FROM COUNTRY LIVING TO CITY LIVING IN GEORGIA WAS A TOUGH MIGRATION BUT FORGED A FIRE TO BE SUCCESSFUL! COACH CEEJAY’S DRIVE COMES FROM HIS DESIRE TO CHANGE GENERATIONAL CURSES AND PAVE A PATH FOR HIS FAMILY AND HIS JORDAN LINEAGE.

COACH CEEJAY EXCELLED IN GEORGIA BUT HIS INFLUENCES AND AMENITIES WERE NOT THE BEST. HIS FAITH GREW SUBSTANTIALLY AT AGE 14 WHEN HE ACCEPTED JESUS AS HIS LORD AND SAVIOR. SPORTS AND ACADEMICS WERE THE FOUNDATIONS THAT KEPT HIM FROM GANG ACTIVITY, DRUGS AND OVERALL BAD INFLUENCES. THE EXTREME FOCUS AND DEDICATION TO BE DIFFERENT FROM HIS ENVIRONMENT ALLOWED HIM TO REACH ACCOLADES IN GEORGIA THAT PUT HIM ON THE MAP FOR COLLEGE RECOGNITION. UPON LOSING HIS HOME IN GEORGIA, COACH CEEJAY MOVED TO BRENTWOOD, TENNESSEE WITH HIS AUNT AND UNCLE, WHERE HE ATTENDED BRENTWOOD ACADEMY. 

BRENTWOOD ACADEMY REINFORCED HIS FAITH AND PREPARED HIM ATHLETICALLY AND ACADEMICALLY FOR COLLEGE. COACH CEEJAY WAS HIGHLY RECRUITED ACROSS THE NATION TAKING AN OFFICIAL VISIT TO KENTUCKY, CLEMSON UNIVERSITY AND THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA. HE ALSO TOOK UNOFFICIAL VISITS TO AUBURN UNIVERSITY, VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY AND THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE.  IN 2005, COACH CEEJAY WON FIRST PLACE FOR THE 189 LB GEORGIA WRESTLING DIVISION IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA. IN 2006, HE WON FIRST PLACE AT THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP FOR TRACK IN THE 4X1. IN 2007, HE WAS FIRST IN THE STATE FOR 100 METER WHILE HE AND HIS FOOTBALL TEAM WON THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. IN 2009 AND 2010, COACH CEEJAY STARTED FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA AND HELPED TO LEAD THEM TO WIN 2-TIME NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, PLAYING AS A LINE-BACKER FOR THE ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE.

COACH CEEJAY (CHRIS JORDAN) KNOWS A THING OR TWO ABOUT HARD-WORK, DEDICATION, PRIDE, TOUGHNESS AND WHAT IT MEANS TO BUILD THE FOUNDATION OF HIS LIFE ON THE ONE WHO CREATED IT.  COACH CEEJAY IS THE FIRST TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE AND ATTAIN LISTED ACCOLADES IN HIS FAMILY. 

COACH CEEJAY, HIS WIFE DESTINY, AND THEIR 3 BOYS CREATED “FOUNDATION FITNESS OF ALABAMA” IN 2023, ON A LEAP OF FAITH AND WITH THE GOAL OF TAKING HIS TALENTS AND TIME TO INVEST IN OTHERS.
