Kyle Ortman

Head of Performance

I joined Chicago City January 2022 after working with P2 for multiple years.


Chicago City and I shared the same values and goals. City has also allowed me to begin a new journey in my passion for strength and conditioning.


Growing up in Ohio I had a family of college and elite coaches in my family. This allowed me to understand and learn concepts of the game quickly. While in Ohio I played for CUP, ODP, and the Crew Academy. In high school my family moved to Illinois where I played for the Fire Academy. During my time playing soccer I was also heavily involved in cross country/distance running competing in the Junior Olympics for multiple years. While my mothers side introduced me to soccer, my Dad gave me my passion for fitness and challenging myself to be always in shape/fit.


After playing in college for a few years I opted to join the Air Force to follow my families foot steps, where I worked with the B-2 bomber and nuclear weapons at Whiteman AFB Missouri. While in Missouri I finished my degree at Missouri State and begin coaching with Sporting Springfield.


I have now been in Chicago for about 5 years and live here with my Fiancé Valerie, dog mila. We are expecting our first child to be born in early October!
