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 stength 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 schol coach," affirmed Coach Taylor, "I wold start my players in the 7th grade.&nbsp; When people think that weights will ruin your touch, I tell them that's a mth.&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.&bsp; 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; Makin a positive difference when gils are at a real vulnerable and impressionable age.&nbsp; X's and O's are fine but yor 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 spors.&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>e have good weather all year long.
