David Taylor

David Taylor strikes me as the rare athlete whose second act may eclipse the first. A dominant freestyle and folkstyle wrestler out of Penn State, the Reno-born competitor has now turned to coaching, leading the Oklahoma State Cowboys. I find that transition telling. Plenty of champions struggle to translate personal brilliance into teaching others, but choosing to pour his hard-won mastery into the next generation speaks to real character. The nickname Magic Man captured his flair on the mat, yet what interests me now is whether he can engineer that same magic in young wrestlers.
