Joe Kennedy –
Taylor’s coaching has been epic. The growth I have had since trading with him is amazing. He works with you and builds you up to be better at every opportunity. Always responds quickly to questions. He has built a team out of the runners he is coaching. Can not say enough good things about him.Looking forward to the future with Taylor as my Coach
Robert Olson –
Taylor is a great coach, he is patient and understands my challenges and limitations. He answers questions quickly and ask how I am doing often. He has created a team environment with his other runners he coaches and I love that. I highly recommend Taylor if you need a coach that will challenge and understand what your trying to accomplish.
