Post Retirement - ThinkTaylor

Stemming from his concussion he suffered against the LA Galaxy on August 30th, 2018, Taylor experienced "the effects and symptoms of post-concussion syndrome". With his career cut short due to this syndrome, Taylor created the ThinkTaylor Foundation in 2011 after his forced retirement from Major League Soccer. ThinkTaylor was created by Taylor in order "to make sure kids, parents, coaches and everyone else who has eyes on youth sports is properly educated" involved with concussions and concussion-related symptoms.

From the founding date in 2011, ThinkTaylor has gained association within the state of Massachusetts, home of Twellman's former MLS club, New England Revolution. With over 86,000 high-school student athletes pledging to raise awareness of concussions through the ThinkTaylor program, the foundation focuses on a concussion awareness week in Massachusetts. The main initiative of ThinkTaylor focuses on this week, gaining " partnership with Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA)".
