Coach Taylor has worked in elite performance for over 45 years. His background spans high-performance sport and long-term work with athletes and coaches operating at international and Olympic level.Early in his career, he was mentored within the Soviet sports system, where performance was approached as an integrated neural, physiological, and technical process rather than a psychological one. This foundation continues to inform his work, which examines how timing, rhythm, and neural adaptation govern execution under pressure - and why performance often withdraws even when preparation is correct.
