Taylor Kasitz

Taylor’s passion for football and education came together during his time studying our BSc (Hons) Football Science programme. While pursuing his degree, he didn’t just focus on his academic studies, he immersed himself in the professional football environment. He became involved with Plymouth Argyle’s first team, contributing to recruitment analysis. This hands-on experience gave him valuable insight into the strategic side of the sport, developing his analytical skills and deepening his understanding of player development.

At the same time, Taylor worked with the Argyle Community Trust, where he began shaping young minds through PE lessons in schools and coaching across various levels. His involvement spanned the Centre of Excellence and the girls’ academy, allowing him to support talent progression and promote inclusivity in sport.

These experiences laid the foundation for his current role as a coach and mentor within the community department. Today, Taylor works closely with schools, focusing on building social skills and personal growth among students. He leads sessions that encourage teamwork, confidence, and resilience, and he’s also at the helm of the Sports Leaders Programme, which empowers young people to take initiative and develop leadership qualities through sport.

Despite his achievements, Taylor remains driven by a desire to grow. He continues to seek opportunities to contribute to first-team football environments, always striving to expand his impact within the sport he loves.
