About mE
Alan Taylor
My mantra is 'good for 12 not at 12', this is a line to describe how I coach. My goal with any young
athlete, is to help learn the skills of training for one event with another eye on the future.
I offer at least 2 technical sessions per week over the winter months including strength sessions as well as lone sessions to fit the event.
Fantastic achievement for Alan Taylor, who was awarded the 2019 Coach of the year and the Michael Campbell Supreme Trophy at the Porirua Sports Awards.
This is an amazing achievement and recognition for the effort that Alan puts in to our most junior athletes, our Junior Interclub Athletes, and a number of teenage athletes he also personally trains, some of whom are at national and international level.
A coach for 11 years, and a former competitive runner and hurdler. Alan can often be found during athletics season at either Adventure Park in Whitby, or Newtown Park in Wellington, passing on his knowledge to the next level of athletes
Development Group
This group is usually under 14, new, or learning the sport or athletics is a secondary sport.
Team Taylor
TEAM TAYLOR is my group where athletics is their chosen sport and the athlete is competing at a high
level. I expect these athletes to be competing regularly. I will only hold 14 places for this.
