“My biggest daily check is, did I empower someone today?”
Of course, body composition plays a role in the sport, she said. College students with newfound access to unlimited food often need nutritional guidance. Wayment, for instance, said she arrived not knowing wheat bread was more nutritious than white.
A few weeks before NCAAs, the scale in the BYU weight room broke. Taylor told the strength coach not to fix or replace it. “My women are running great and that number does not matter,” she said. Birk-Jarvis said she was annoyed at first, but as time went on, stopped thinking about her weight entirely.
She also asks recruits if they have a history of eating disorders, anxiety, or depression, so she can understand their background and direct them to the sport psychologist or other appropriate resources swiftly if they’re struggling.During cross-country camp Taylor’s first season, she and the team came up with a slogan: “BYU Run For Her.” Now, you can spy it on her runners’ shoulders and social media accounts.
Balancing competitiveness and camaraderie often proves tricky on a team with so much talent. Wayment, Orton, and Birk-Jarvis all credit Taylor with helping mitigate jealous impulses, in part by airing them. Telling women these feelings make them poor teammates only adds guilt and shame on top of envy. “You have to validate those feelings and let women know it’s okay—it’s normal to feel that way,” Taylor said.
