Mountaineer Athlete of the Week
Joshua Taylor
Intramural basketball player
Joshua Taylor admits he wasn’t much of a football or basketball player
growing up.“I was garbage,” Taylor said of his football skills as a freshman
in high school. He said he wasn’t much of a basketball player either.
Taylor dedicated his time over the summer honing his basketball skills and
made the varsity team as a sophomore.
What is your favorite personal moment in sports?
I once coached a team that only had two or three players that had any
kind of basketball playing experience. We weren’t very good in the beginning
of the season, but I took them to the court and started working with them in
practice. When the season was over, we placed second in our league.
If you could spend a day with any athlete who would it be and why?
I have always thought it would be good to be able to talk to Kevin
Garnett of the Boston Celtics. He plays big down low and since I’ve always
been a perimeter player I would like to know what it’s like to be able to
play as a big man.
If you could change anything about sports what would it be?
I would like to see a system in place where the (professional) athletes
did not get paid as much money.
What is the one thing you’ve always wanted to do in sports but
have not done yet?
I have always wanted to play college sports and I think I’m going to
try to do that. I would also like to play for the All-Army team.
People who don’t know me would be surprised to know that …
I can actually play basketball. People think that because I’m white, tall
and lanky I can’t play basketball. One of the players we played here in
(intramurals) thought I could not play ball and I had to show him
up a little bit.
