Testimonials
Working with Taylor has been absolutely key in my strive to be a great athlete. There are plenty of "good" athletes out there, but in order to be the best, one has to mentally tough just as they are physically tough. Taylor Brown and his Enduromind curriculum taught me how to build a foundation of mental awareness to fuel a stronger physical performance which, in turn, has made me a better athlete. Thank you Taylor!

Last season, AG Rugby decided to move from a professional environment to a program built around high performance. Taylor was an integral part of our program. Taylor’s work as a performance coach was head and shoulders the best i have come across in the 25 years I have been in this industry. I couldn’t recommend Taylor higher.

Working with Coach Brown throughout football season (and now into basketball season) helped me beyond words with my mental performance in sports. Be it going through breathing exercises, learning to meditate, or working through my emotions before a game or extra point, Coach Brown has been a major impact in my sports performance throughout the beginning of this year. Having someone teach me how to regulate my anxiety before games is no doubt positively affecting my abilities, and I hope to continue using Coach Brown as a resource throughout the year.

My first match of this season was against a wrestler I lost to last year. Going into this match I was very nervous and doubtful in my ability to win due to my previous performance. Coach Brown gave me mental techniques that helped increase my confidence and calmness heading into this match. I not only won the match, but the entire tournament. He has helped me grow as an athlete and as a person.

Taylor was a very important part of our preparation for the championship portion of the season. He equipped our team with tools for breathing and positive self talk that athletes found useful both during racing and in their daily lives. Taylor's work with our varsity squad was particularly important during the final few sessions as he counseled the girls on how to handle pressure. Everyone benefited from his work and my top athletes found his advice and tools particularly impactful. Many of them mentioned the impacts it had on their mental state and even performance following their races.

For those who are interested in working with Taylor, this is what you can expect. A highly disciplined approach to mindfulness and awareness of the athlete experience in sport. Taylor asks questions that get to the heart of athletic performance and helps us consider what our motivations are and how we can best use them to reach our goals. His approach is not flashy. He doesn't expect people to throw away everything they have learned and follow his path. Instead, he uses mindfulness to support and enhance the current program. Personally I found that very helpful.

Mindfulness and mental training are a huge part of performing athletically as well as being content in day-to-day life, and learning from someone who has been through competition and anxiety himself is super helpful. Taylor really knows what he’s talking about, and I looked forward to our sessions every week!
