"Definition of a players coach. A coach and a friend."

"It is a sorrowful mark of our age that the noble craft of coaching—an art that shapes souls, strengthens resolve, and kindles the fires of potential—should be reduced to the cold, barren judgement of rating mechanisms. These trifling systems, wrought upon scant and superficial samples, diminish the weighty and profound labor of a coach to mere figures and tallies. Such devices fail to grasp the unseen currents of a coach’s influence—the unseen hand that shapes futures, forges bonds amongst kin and kinless alike, and alters the very course of a life. To measure such transformative work by the fickle fancies of a handful, without understanding the breadth and depth of their toils, is to insult the very marrow of leadership, mentorship, and inspiration. It is a great affront to compress these luminous guides into mere numbers, as though their worth could be reckoned by digits or stars. Yet if we must partake in such hollow judgments, I shall declare: Bobby is, in truth, one among a million—a coach whose mastery stretches beyond the sport of tennis, whose reach shall endure through the generations. There are two reasons for this, each illustrated, fittingly, with a quote from Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov. I) "What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love." Bobby will never know this affliction. He is an effortless weaver of human bonds, binding together those who otherwise might never have met, through the shared thread of his influence. His legacy radiates so powerfully that those touched by it can often recognize its echo in others, even without a mutual or shared acquaintance. His life in Hamilton has been defined by this fierce and boundless respect for his neighbor, and through that love, he has lifted up all who were fortunate enough to fall within his orbit. II) "Each of us is responsible for everything and to every human being." Bobby’s greatness lies not in accolades or numbers, but in the depth of responsibility he has taken for those around him, guiding futures with a love and dedication that no rating system can quantify. Surely, one day, Colgate shall bestow upon him the honor due to him as a leader whose impact hath far exceeded the narrow expectations of a mere collegiate coach. Until that day, the countless lives he has shaped and the legacies he has helped to forge speak louder than any formal recognition. "5 stars""

"Bobby is the best coach I have ever had. He’s knowledge and his positive attitude is contagious, his coaching style is unmatched. He’s a motivator and he gets the best out of his team. I am no exception."

"He’s been putting the word ‘Grit’ to its true definition and makes sure we leave it all out on the water (He’s the Stetson assistant coach now) "

"If you want to win, get coached by him. If you want to be a bro, go somewhere else. "

"Kathy Taylor is the best coach I have ever had the pleasure of playing with. She pushed me to my highest potential and never gave up on me even when I wanted to give up on myself. She’s will help you find your greatest potential and that will continue on into your life after college sports. "

"Coach Kathy Taylor is an awesome coach. The article that came out was from the upperclassmen on the Colgate team who were recruited by the old coach & they didn’t have the same wants for the program that Kathy has and is trying to change; She sees so much potential in our team and genuinely cares about us and wants us to succeed. She really pushes you to be the best player you can be and doesn’t beat around the bush and is old school so what she says can come out sounding harsh, but the advice she gives is helpful, very knowledgeable, and I personally think that people just need to grow thicker skin and stop being so soft. At the end of the day, Colgate is a Division I lacrosse program and people need to realize that playing at this level isn’t for everyone, and that every coach at this level is intense and challenges their athletes, you signed up for it by committing to a DI program. Overall, she’s a great women and what is being spread about her is wrong, she just wants us to be the best players we can be."

"Coach Taylor cares so deeply for all of her athletes. She is competitive and wants to win and creates a culture that is very team oriented. She wants everyone to succeed on the field, in the classroom, and as leaders. Coach Taylor is very knowledgeable about the game, and helps each athlete be the best they can be because she knows their potential. She’s motivating and dedicated, and any athlete who gets to play for her is very lucky. "

"Kathy Taylor was one of the best coaches I have ever had. Her experience, grit, and dedication to our team was unstoppable. She not only pushed me and my peers to be better athletes, but thought us countless transferable skills I use everyday in my career. She cares about lacrosse, her team, and pushing you to be the best you can be. Coach Taylor is an advocate for strong women athletes and and I feel honored to have been coached by her. "

"I’ve had the privilege of being coached by Kathy Taylor and it has been nothing but memorable, fun and motivating. She has inspired young women to become the best version of themselves on and off the field. I have the utmost respect for her honesty and tough love approach to coaching. Our team culture was the best it has ever been under the leadership of coach taylor. She wants the best for her athletes. "

"Although an old school mentality, Kathy Taylor helped shape me into a hard working, dedicated person who pushes through hardships and obstacles. Mental toughness is important, but she never failed to want the best for us on and off the field. "

"My experience with Kathy Taylor as a coach was nothing but the best. She shaped me into what I am today and made me strong and determined in every aspect of life. I was so incredibly lucky to play lacrosse for such an amazing woman. She cares for her team while also understanding what we can handle and when to push us to achieve greatness. The skills I learned from her on the lacrosse field carry into my everyday life and now into coaching lacrosse myself. "

"I had the chance to play for Coach Taylor at Le Moyne College and had an incredible experience. She helped guide our team to a national championship in 2018. She is not only a coach but a mentor to us off of the field. I had a terrific four years and I wouldn’t change a thing. "

"Great person to work with "

"Took over a struggling program and created a championship culture. Inspires players to believe in themselves while putting the team first. Extremely knowledgeable of the game, and takes the time to invest in the person not just the player on the field. Also very cool and fun to play for. Will invest everything she has into the team. "

"Awesome coach in every aspect. Honest, caring, smart. Colgate is luck to have kept him this long. "
