He also owns and provides content for the popular soccer training site, www.elitesoccerconditioning.com . Taylor started by providing soccer fitness and conditioning content to 1096 visitors in Jan of 2007 and has grown the site to thousands of visitors monthly.
"I had the opportunity for Taylor to condition my club soccer team. When Taylor trains you can tell he has done his homework. I liked training with Taylor because every time he made us do a drill, he could always tell us how it is going to help us later. He is very educated in what he does, and helped my team as a whole to be faster and stronger. After working with Taylor our whole team started seeing differences in our running form as well. A lot of the time nobody looks forward to conditioning, but with Taylor he would apply the conditioning into games and keep it fun so we always worked our hardest instead of dreading every minute of it."
