"Basketball was my ticket to a free education," said Taylor.&nbsp; She finished as TSU's all-time top ten scoring, rebounding and games played.&nbsp; Coach Taylor was born to coach.&nbsp; She even took over the team as captain/coach in her senior year at Texas Southern.&nbsp; After trying to work at a hospital for three years, she could not stand being away from basketball and resigned.&nbsp; "I realized coaching was a passion with me."</P> <P>Coach Taylor landed her first job at Lamar and then in 1991 she went to American International College in Springfield, Massachusetts where she completely turned their program around.&nbsp; She became the head coach at Northeastern Illinois in 1993 and took that team to consecutive winning seasons and that was after the school had experienced an eight-year 21-183 record.&nbsp; When the WNBA opportunity arose, Taylor sent a resume to all eight teams and Utah liked her instantly.</P> <P>"I did not train with weights in high school," recalled Coach Taylor.&nbsp; "But now, strength and conditioning is having a tremendous impact on women's basketball.&nbsp; When I was at Texas Southern from 1980 to 1984 I did a combination of free weights and machines but not a lot.&nbsp; We did not have scheduled workouts and stretching was not big but it is now.&nbsp; If I had lifted correctly and known what to do back then I might be playing in the WNBA instead of coaching," she said laughing.</P> <P>At Northeastern Illinois, Coach Taylor did not have a formal strength program in her first year.&nbsp; "We didn't do Squats and Cleans but then I got a strength coach, Ed Lopez, who had a track background.&nbsp; We did Squats and Cleans from that point.&nbsp; Coach Lopez knew what to do."</P> <P>"If I were a high school coach," affirmed Coach Taylor, "I would start my players in the 7th grade.&nbsp; When people think that weights will ruin your touch, I tell them that's a myth.&nbsp; As far as losing your femininity, I believe that is changing.&nbsp; That too is a myth.&nbsp; Things are changing through education.&nbsp; Fitness is in.&nbsp; Health is in.</P> <P>"I believe sports can help your self confidence and discipline.&nbsp; Lifting weights for your sport just adds to that.&nbsp; Some people are afraid a girl could get muscle bound if they lift weights.&nbsp; Well, I have never seen that happen to my players.</P> <P>"The biggest reward in coaching is how we, as coaches, can touch people by helping them achieve their dreams.&nbsp; Helping my girls like a mother would.&nbsp; Making a positive difference when girls are at a real vulnerable and impressionable age.&nbsp; X's and O's are fine but your main job is to help people grow."</P> <P>Coach Taylor begins each practice with everyone holding hands saying the Lord's Prayer.&nbsp; This is followed by a thought for the day.&nbsp; For example, Coach Taylor asked her team to comment on the thought, "Your character is your destiny."</P> <P>The Starzz are dedicated to the game and their coach.&nbsp; They are excited about the WNBA and being a part of this great pioneering effort in women's sports.&nbsp; We thank them and especially Coach Taylor for being Upper Limit and being a leader by example.</P> <P>Pictures of the Starzz players lifting will be added at a later date.</P>in their eyes. It was something to see. <br> The jerseys carry a responsibility, one that each Soldier has to earn.  They must maintain their level of play or lose their Dog Soldier title and relinquish their jersey. If someone hustles or outplays them on the field, the jersey goes to them, says Coach Schultz.  It s taken quite seriously. <br><br>Family and Tradition<br><br> Historically, many Nr`Ҟ);3^=~9
