Say Hello to Taylor! - For U Fitness

I describe myself as a fun, energetic and person driven to better other athletes lives!

My name is Taylor. I am from a small town in Oklahoma called Sasakwa, but have recently moved to Austin for an Internship at UT.

I hold a Bachelor’s in Exercise Science and am currently pursuing in Sports Administration at East Central University in Oklahoma.

While at ECU, I played softball and was a part of our conference winning team. After hanging my cleats up, I became a Graduate Assistant Strength and Conditioning coach at ECU. I had the pleasure to personally run the softball, baseball, men’s and women’s cross country and soccer lifting and speed and agility programs.

I have a passion for sports and what it takes to make an athlete have that drive and passion for their sport. I want to make them love the process of becoming a better athlete and of course teach them to prevent injuries. My goal is to bring the energy and create a culture with the young athletes to carry on into their future careers.

In my free time I enjoy lifting and eating. When I am back in Oklahoma, I enjoy hunting and being in the woods.
