#330: Curtis Taylor-University of Oregon | From Oakland Hoops to Sprint Coaching Greatness

From the basketball courts of Oakland to the sprint lanes of Eugene, Curtis Taylor’s coaching journey is as inspiring as it is impactful. In this episode, Curtis shares how being cut from varsity basketball led him to track and eventually to a career shaping some of the nation’s fastest athletes at the University of Oregon.


We dive deep into:

  • 🏀 Growing up in Oakland’s basketball culture before discovering track

  • 🎓 Lessons from UC Davis, kinesiology, and the science of coaching

  • 🏆 Building East Oakland track programs with community support

  • 👟 Mentorship from the legendary Tony Wells

  • 🎯 Goal-setting and athlete accountability at Oregon

  • 🌍 Busting myths about recruiting and development in Power Four programs


💬 “You’ve got to figure out the WHY of everything you’re doing. If you can’t explain the why, you probably shouldn’t be doing it.” – Curtis Taylor
