Taylor MacIntyre enters her first year as an Assistant Receivers' Coach for the Waterloo Warriors Football Team and the founder of the Women’s FootbALL Conference. Taylor is entering her fourth season as a positional coach in the OUA.
In June 2021, Taylor was hired at McMaster Football as part of the 'Women’s Football Coaching Apprenticeship Program.' At Mac, Taylor would coach the receivers for three seasons. In May 2022, Taylor spent four weeks as a guest coach with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, as part of the CFL's 'Women in Football' Program, learning from Head Coach Mike O’Shea and Receivers Coach Kevin Bourgoin.
Previously, Taylor was the Special Teams Coordinator & Receivers Coach for the U16 Cambridge Lions and the Team Ontario U18 Women's tackle team, as well as Head Coach & Offensive Coordinator for the U19 Women's Guelph Junior Gryphons Program. Taylor has also coached the Cambridge Lions Varsity Team as a Defensive Backs coach and was a receivers' coach for the McMaster Women’s Flag Football Team.
In 2004, Taylor was the first girl to complete a season with her high school football team, paving the way for other girls to play high school football. After playing two years of junior football as a receiver and back-up quarterback, Taylor decided to give back to the junior team as a Receivers’ Coach in grades 11 & 12.
In 2022, Taylor created the Women’s FootbALL Conference - a platform to provide education, inspiration, and network opportunities for women and gender minorities in football. The annual conference is held in the early spring each year. Taylor’s ‘why’ is to show girls and young women that it’s possible to play and coach football at a high level in Canada.
Taylor currently lives in Waterloo Region with her Fiancé Steve and their two cats, Holly and Maow. Taylor’s step-daughter Kait, is also the water manger for local football teams. Taylor has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Windsor, majoring in Human Kinetics - Sport Management and a double-minor in French & Media Communications, along with a post-grad degree in Television News from Fanshawe College.
