About Dr. Weber

Dr. Jordan Weber, EdD

Assistant Professor in the Department of Health & Applied Human Sciences at the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW). Specializing in Adapted Physical Activity — building bridges between movement science, inclusive education, and real-world performance.

UNCW Faculty EdD NPC ×6 FRC Practitioner Kinstretch

Doctoral Hooding — UNCW

Earned his EdD formalizing a career built around movement, inclusion, and applied human sciences.

Professor in Action

At the UNCW Trask Coliseum pool — teaching adaptive aquatics as part of HFE 415 field practicum.

Movement is the medium. Inclusion is the message.

Adapted Physical Education

Jordan has spent over a decade facilitating inclusive fitness experiences — from university gymnasiums to community pools. His TUFF (Train Us Forward Fitness) nonprofit extends this mission into the broader community.

Fitness & Training

Strength & Performance

Science-backed and performance-focused. Glute training, FRC mobility work, and progressive overload as core pillars — all filmed in the home gym built for it.

Training Philosophy

FRC (Functional Range Conditioning) principles guide Jordan's movement practice. CARs, PAILs, RAILs, and joint health are non-negotiables — strength without range is incomplete.

Focus Areas

Glute / Hip Strength FRC & Joint Health Plyometrics Foam Rolling Power Training

NPC Men's Physique — 6× competitor. The stage demands every tool: nutrition, periodization, posing, and mental edge.

Teach Hub — APE & Education

HFE 415 — Adapted Physical Activity

A comprehensive university course integrating UDL principles with real-world field placements. Students complete gym labs, aquatic labs, and peer mentorship practicums — culminating in supervised sessions at "I Can Do It, You Can Do It."

Gym Lab Practicum

Students facilitate adapted fitness sessions with real participants.

Aquatic Lab

Water-based adaptive programming at the Trask Coliseum pool.

I Can Do It, You Can Do It

Field placement site for HFE 415. Free inclusive fitness program for individuals with disabilities — cardio, dance, mobility, resistance training, sport skill learning, and health education. Saturdays at Hanover Gym (next to Trask).

Yoga & Mobility

Mobility 101 — Teaching Athletes

Jordan has brought Kinstretch and FRC principles to athletic populations — using mobility as a performance multiplier, not just injury prevention.

NPC Men's Physique

6× NPC Men's Physique Competitor

Competing in NPC Men's Physique taught Jordan the intersection of science and discipline — periodization, contest prep nutrition, posing practice, and the mental game of peak performance. That same framework now informs how he coaches others.

Prep Approach

Structured macros, progressive training blocks, strategic cardio, and peak week protocols refined over multiple prep cycles.

Stage Ready

From off-season building to competition day — the process is the product. Discipline compounds.

My Story

From the Soccer Pitch to the Lecture Hall

Jordan's journey started on the soccer field at Erie Community College (2002–2004), where he played two years of collegiate soccer while earning his AS in Social Science. He transferred to SUNY Brockport, earning his BS before landing at UNCW — where he's been building ever since.

Over 30 years as a soccer player. Multiple fitness disciplines. A doctoral degree. A nonprofit. A growing brand. The through-line is always the same: movement as medicine, inclusion as purpose.

Education Journey

ECC (2002–04) → SUNY Brockport (BS) → UNCW (Faculty since 2010) → EdD. Now leading Adapted Physical Activity education while conducting peer-reviewed research and running TUFF, a nonprofit expanding fitness access for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
