Strength & Conditioning
TACTICAL TRANSITION
STRENGTH COACH TRADED TRAINING
WORLD-CLASS ATHLETES FOR SOLDIERS
By LTC Randy Ready, PAO, U.S. Army Center for Initial Military Training
M
ark Taysom, C.S.C.S., has been involved in
human performance for more than 20 years as
an athlete and a coach. He's a former Strongman
National Champion with stops working in the U.S.
Olympic Training Center and the NFL. He's additionally
been an adjunct instructor for exercise science at
Arizona State University and Grand Canyon University.
But nowadays Taysom can be seen working with
members of the military instead of world-class athletes.
With more branches of the military re-thinking the way
they approach physical readiness, there are more civilian
options for those looking to transition away from the
sports performance industry.
As the Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) Program
Director for the 10th Mountain Division Combat Aviation
30 | Training & Conditioning | April/May 2023
Brigade at Fort Drum, NY, Taysom and his team of 30
interdisciplinary professionals are charged with the
performance readiness of the brigade's 3,000 soldiers.
WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF H2F?
I helped start the initiative more than ten years
ago at Fort Carson with the Iron Horse Performance
Optimization Program. The spectrum of various needs,
abilities, and motivations in the Army is unmatched
anywhere else.
Additionally, in the civilian realm of sports medicine,
there is always the suspicion of the dollar. An athlete or
client may question a coach's motives, thinking they are
just trying to make a buck. In the Army, the soldier never
has to ask if what I am saying has the alternative motive
