Simon Taylor

Game Plan Advisor, CSI Atlantic

What can I help you with?

"I can help with trying to figure out your life goals. And whatever I can’t help you with, I will be sure to direct you to someone who is better suited to help!"

Why do I love my job as a Game Plan Advisor?

"I love getting to meet new athletes and being a support for them, regardless whether that’s in, or outside of sport. Being a former NCAA Division I athlete I have a basic understanding of what it means to train at a high level, whilst trying to juggle ‘life-stuff’ as well. This can be both an exciting, yet scary journey and I feel honored being able to assist for athletes trying to figure this out."
