Highly recommend this speed coach. After just one session, he immediately identified weaknesses in my kids’ sprinting mechanics and explained exactly what needed to improve. He challenged them the entire workout, kept them engaged, and gave them specific homework and drills to work on. You can tell he really understands speed development and doesn’t just run kids through random exercises. My kids left motivated and encouraged. - Nate
We are so grateful for Coach Taylor’s insight and support today. He provided a clear, well-structured training plan tailored specifically to Kenny’s needs leading up to Nike Nationals. His attention to detail and thoughtful adjustments gave us direction and confidence going into this crucial training window. His knowledge, responsiveness, and encouraging approach make a huge difference. Highly recommend Coach Taylor for any athlete looking to reach the next level. - Shera
Coach Taylor was great! My daughter already feels like she has a better understanding of the foundational aspects of pole vaulting after only one session, and she really appreciated his direct but supportive and positive style of coaching. We look forward to more sessions with Coach Taylor! - Trisha
Coach Taylor has been great. He is coaching my two kids. Both throw shot put and discus, but they have different strengths and weaknesses. Coach Taylor provides analysis on exactly which areas each athlete needs to focus on improving the most. He then targets those areas with both in person training and detailed instruction on what to work on in between coaching sessions. I highly recommend his services. - Carmen
Coach Tayler is the perfect coach for my son. My son is in competitive soccer and a gets a lot of injuries. Coach Taylor evaluated Noah and saw that Noah's sprinting is being affected by past injuries. One side was stronger than the other. Coach Taylor then created a program to teach him how to run and to strengthen his right side. Noah's running coordination has improved immensely. - David
I was looking for a long jump coach for my daughter and found Coach Taylor here on CoachUp. His has the ability to breakdown everything and make it so simple that anyone will be able to understand. My daughter picked up so much and so many pointers in her 1st session with you compared to pass training. I also appreciated his ability to see her errors and to correct them shower her the proper way. Myself as a parent also picked up on some techniques that I can help her with at home. I am truly excited to embark on this training session with you. I am truly able to see the possibilities my daughter can have in the long jump and sprinting. I can’t wait to see the improvements in her time for both this outdoor and next indoor season. I would highly recommend anyone reading this review to give Coach Taylor a try. - Belgica
After one session with Coach Taylor, we were very impressed with what we saw. He was able to work with our 11 year old daughter on improving her long jump and running. He was very thoughtful on his approach. He also did a great job explaining things to her when she had questions. He was able to identify areas for improvement and create an individualized plan to help her achieve her goals. We have signed up for more lessons and look forward to seeing her improve under the guidance of Coach Taylor. - Hemal
This was our first coaching session with Coach Taylor. Coach Taylor made an immediate impact on my daughter, improving her performance on drills and stretches and what to focus on when practicing her long and high jump. Coach Taylor also gave Erin a better understanding on her distances and footwork. After one lesson, my daughter was ready to come back feeling confident she could excel in this sport with Coach Taylor's help. We have already scheduled a second lesson. Highly recommend a lesson with Coach Taylor. - Sarah
My son has worked with Coach Taylor two times now - and both were very good. Coach Taylor immediately identified reasons (technique) why my son was not running as fast as he could and should be - and advised him on ways to correct this; along with showing him different exercises that would further increase his speed. My son incorporated those techniques at a recent soccer practice/camp and noticed an immediate improvement. I was present for part of the practice and also noticed several sprints where he appeared to run even faster than I've previously seen him run. He told me afterwards, "Dad, I did what Coach Taylor told me and I could tell the difference." - Darren
My son had a great first session with Coach Taylor. During the initial hour a lot of progress was made via sprint assessment, proper stretching techniques, sprinting block setup and alignment, and sprinting workout. Coach Taylor provided great feedback and recommendations during and after the session, thus, important and valuable elements if my son were to continue on with the sport. I would recommend Coach Taylor to anyone that is looking to improve their performance as well as developing the correct techniques to compete in the track and field sports. - T
Coach Taylor was awesome! He made a lot of “on the spot” corrections and fixed my form just by watching me 1x! We worked on my sprints and with in minutes I was able to apply his corrections and cut my time significantly. I am currently in the military and would like to pass my PFT with a perfect score…I feel like working with coach Taylor will help me reach that goal based on our first training session. I am excited To continue on this journey with Taylor as my running coach! 5/5 recommend thus far! - Davina
Taylor was great. Henry felt that he did an excellent job explaining how to do the glide technique as well as exercises to significantly improve his ability to throw. - Chris
Coach Taylor is doing a great job working with my son who is just starting out with the hurdles. After one session, I could tell that my son was more comfortable the next time he practiced with his high school team. I look forward to Coach Taylor helping my son develop his hurdling skills. - Scott
My buddy challenged me to a race in front of our whole group of friends a month ago, and I couldn't back down. We're both in our forties and are generally in good shape, but the race was the 400 meter, which is a brutal event. We agreed to one month to prepare. Given that I was in no shape to do well at the 400 meter, I found Coach Taylor online and booked multiple sessions with him. I'm so happy I did. Coach Taylor customized a running program for me that fit my abilities perfectly. He pushed me exactly when needed, but didn't overdue it. During one session, I pulled a muscle and I thought for sure that was the end of my hopes to make it to the race. On the spot, Coach Taylor changed our routine to get me through the session and by the end, I didn't even feel any pain in the muscle I just pulled. I was clocking in at ~82 seconds at the 400 meter prior to my first training with Coach Taylor. The race took place just a few days ago. Not only did I easily beat my friend, but I finished the race in 68 seconds!!! Coach Taylor is extremely knowledgeable, a great running coach, and just an overall awesome guy. I highly recommend him for Track and Field athletes of all ages and levels! - Eddie
Coach Taylor is exactly someone I am looking for. As for me, even though I have trained with track and field in some clubs for non-professional sprinters, I have no formal technical training. For this reason, whenever I approach any coach and tell them I want very rigorous training on techniques, I either receive news that it is not useful or the coach just let me do whatever I want.
Coach Taylor is totally different. Even though I am called a "baby" in the professional track and field world, he never lowers any of the training's quality and corrects any mistakes, no matter how minute it is. This is the trait of the most outstanding teachers and coaches in this world. I will wholeheartedly recommend coach Taylor to anyone around me, professional or not. - Ran
Video coaching!! High jump!
Taylor has been video coaching my daughter for nine months. Taylor is excellent, Taylor is amazing with her! We have been doing the drills, workouts and exercises he has giving her during the week. I video her doing them, then upload a selection of them, about ten and then we review them during our coaching time.
My high jumper has vastly improved her confidence, her consistency, and her ability to get higher. Taylor was 100% the right choice - Ashlee
Coach Taylor was just what we needed. My son plays a few sports - baseball and basketball right now - and wanted help in improving his speed. In just one session, he came home raving about how much he learned about his old habits and how he can improve. It was so beneficial for him. Taylor is personable, professional and so knowledgeable. Thanks Coach! - Allison
Now my son is meeting with Coach Taylor consistently. He is gaining confidence and working harder. His commitment has shown improvement as well. Coach Taylor has done a great job figuring out how to improve the overall mechanics of my son’s muscular structure and has developed exercises and drills to help my son use his body more effectively to improve his form, speed, and overall effectiveness. We would highly recommend Coach Taylor.
After the fifth session with Coach Taylor my son is gaining confidence and jumping higher than he ever has. I wish track season wasn’t over in high school but so looking forward to seeing my son improve each time he meets with Coach Taylor. Thanks for figuring out my son and building his confidence. Excited for his sophomore year in high jump.
First time meeting with Coach Taylor. He really worked with my son on his approach to the high jump. Looking forward to his next session. - Laura
Coach Taylor is excellent! We knew Coach was an accomplished decathlete and training for the Olympic team, so it was a given that he would be knowledgeable. But, we've really been impressed by his coaching ability, and his approaches to both, the physical and mental aspects of competition and training. Mental toughness is so critical, and there's no question that Coach Taylor's prior and current experience enable him to help guide, support, and motivate young athletes. Soon, we'll schedule our daughter to join our son and Coach Taylor in the workouts. - Rodrick
