David Taylor hadn’t learned to appreciate competition until he isolated himself from it.
In his words, his retirement, which he announced in May during his introductory press conference shortly after he was hired as Oklahoma State’s head coach, instilled a newfound passion and cherishment out of him. One he said he had been void of during the latter stages of his tenured wrestling career.
“Funny how things play out,” Taylor said with a laugh.
On Wednesday, Taylor met with the media regarding his competition in the United States Senior World Trials in Omaha, Nebraska, over the weekend.
