James Taylor / Founder
Footballer. Coach. Performance mentor.
01 / The player
I grew up supporting Bristol City. At seven, football became my world. Playing professionally for the club I loved was a dream I shared with my Dad and Grandad.
02 / The comeback
Four knee dislocations. Double knee surgery. Being told I would never play again. With support, discipline and determination, I found my way back to semi-professional football.
03 / The purpose
I built JT Mind & Body Balance to help you develop the complete player. The skill. The athleticism. The confidence to back yourself. Because the person matters as much as the performance.
Mind. Body. Balance.Hi, I’m James Taylor — founder of JT Mind & Body Balance, former professional footballer, semi-professional footballer, coach and performance mentor.
Football has shaped my life from a young age. I started playing at 7, supported Bristol City FC from the age of 4, and went on to play professionally for the club I loved, sharing that dream with my Dad and Grandad.
Throughout my career, I worked with top sports scientists and nutritionists to push my physical performance to the highest level. But at 22, during a loan to Cheltenham FC, I suffered four knee dislocations in one season. I underwent double knee surgery and was told by specialists that I would never play football again.
I refused to accept that. With 1:1 support, discipline and relentless determination, I returned to playing at a semi-professional level — stronger in mind and body than ever before.
Now I use that experience to help players build the complete package: skill, athleticism, resilience, confidence and standards.
