My athletic highlights are a lesson in determination for my students; through hard work, I've gradually improved my standard of play for over 25 years. Starting from a successful club career in Northern California, I played defender for the UC Berkeley club team at the collegiate level. After college, I played midfield for various amateur & semi-pro clubs in Los Angeles, before eventually securing a starting position as a center back and occasional striker at my current club in the LA Muni League's, Super Metro Division. With multiple top finishes in the division, our club, through loyalty and hard work, has secured a birth in the UPSL. Onwards and Upwards!
If you love the game and want to improve your standard of play, contact me! I'll help you, or your child, create a foundation from which to grow and succeed.
The ball will always be on the foot of any student I coach. Sessions flow from ball control, to control under pressure, to control with pace, to advanced tactics. Each session is adjusted for the level of the player being taught. From warm-up to the final minute my students will always have the ball at their feet, maximizing touches per session. They will leave with better control, composure, and pace.

Coach Taylor packed a huge amount into my daughter's first session and she was able to practice and apply it immediately. Totally worth it and will definitely be a game changer for her. Thank you!

We feel so lucky to have found Coach Taylor!! My 10 year old son and 12 year old daughter both practice with him and they love it. He is fun, positive, patient, he keeps things moving and my kids are totally engaged. They feel confident and look forward to every session!!
David (CoachUp client)
Our first session with Coach Taylor was great. He was on time, organized and enthusiastic. Obviously knows the game inside and out. My son enjoyed the session a great deal. Couldn't be happier with Coach Taylor.
Tom (CoachUp client)
Coach Taylor is simply amazing...I love his high energy, his drills are ready to be used in games, he is always positive and he's patient when my 3 kids are learning a new move...but most of all he shows them how to make the most of their ability. My family loves this guy!!
Monte (CoachUp client)
Coach Taylor is doing a great job working othe things that his player needs to elevate his game -- some of these skills are one pointed out by his club coach. Coach Taylor is also setting up a plan for his student to practice these moves on days he is not with Coach Taylor.
Michael (CoachUp client)
Coach Taylor is really good, he have told me many things that I didn't know. He got me a lot better at soccer.
