During his time as an undergrad, Taylor worked as a Strength Coach working with Football and other team sports at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School. Upon graduating, Taylor became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS). He then went south to be an intern coach at the Division 1 level.
