The Inspiring Way Ramonce Taylor is Supporting Local Youth In Central Texas

We’ve had some great athletes come out of Central Texas, such as Tommy Harris, Royce O’Neale, RG3, and last but not least, Ramonce Taylor. I can appreciate that each one of these individuals has something very similar in common. Not only were they amazing athletes who came straight out of Central Texas, but most of them have also been committed to giving back to the community.

From Rose Bowl Glory to Belton Mentor: Ramonce Taylor’s New Mission

After speaking with Ramonce Taylor, I must admit I’m impressed with what he has planned next for Central Texas. The Temple, Texas native who attended Belton High School is known for setting several records, including more than 4,000 rushing yards and over 60 touchdowns.

Keep in mind that this man has been a champion most of his life. While playing football at the University of Texas at Austin, he averaged an impressive 10.5 yards per carry and helped the Longhorns win the Rose Bowl. It was truly something amazing to see.

Although certain decisions in life redirected his career and profession in another direction, the plan still remains the same: to make sure success and God play a part in his next journey.

Why Ramonce Taylor is Trading Touchdowns for Youth Transformation

Speaking with him, he explained that not only does he enjoy contributing to the camp he hosts each year during spring break, but he is also excited about the grand opening of his gym, which will be happening on March 15. I asked him a simple question: “You’ve already done so many great things in your life. Why are the Taylor training camps and the gym so important?”

His answer was simple. He said he wants to give back to the community and make sure athletes are not only leaders on the field, but off the field as well. He explained that when he was growing up, he didn’t feel like he had the proper mentorship in his area, and now he’s excited to give that back to his community.

How Texas Legend Ramonce Taylor is Rewriting His Legacy in Central Texas

Taylor is embarking on a new journey with the opening of his gym on Sunday, March 15, from 4 PM to 6 PM. There will be special guests such as Vince Young and several of his 2005 National Championship teammates. Music, raffle drawings, silent auctions, and more will also be part of the event.

What Can You Expect At The Grand Opening?

Kids will have the opportunity to come out, get autographs from celebrities, enjoy themselves, and learn from today’s leaders about leadership, integrity, and most importantly, staying humble through it all.

The Quote Ramonce Taylor Lives By

One thing I love about Taylor is that he lives by the quote, “Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.” That mindset shows that being properly prepared is something that should always be mandatory. Now that he’s bringing that same energy and message to the children in the community, I truly believe success is possible here.
