The post carried the caption, “Wrestling season has begun and we’re dialing everything in here @m2trainingcenter. I’m looking forward to another year of coaching these studs.” Taylor, who recently also ramped up his presence on YouTube, also added, “Be on the lookout for an M2 practice on YouTube to get a little insight into a workout.”

David Taylor takes coaching his students very seriously and regularly supports and promotes them as well. One may think that the reigning Olympic champ should be paying more attention to himself given the Olympics are very close. However, Taylor is already working vigorously towards his road to Paris. In fact, engaging with his students is one of his ways to unwind and avoid burnout.
