Background
 
Lange played baseball while attending Spring Arbor University, and while studying Exercise Science he got his first taste of his chosen field. SAU is a small, private university competing in the NAIA, and much like Colorado Christian, they did not have the resources for a full-time Strength and Conditioning Coach. So as a senior captain on the baseball team, his coach entrusted him and one other captain with the teams off-season conditioning regiment. He built on that experience after his senior year when the volleyball coach also handed him the reigns to the team's fitness.
 
Taylor has been fortunate enough to study under some of the most noteworthy and knowledgeable people in his field. He received his Master's degree from Central Michigan University in a program largely based in clinical studies rather than in the weight room, giving Taylor a deeper knowledge and understanding of the human body. While working on his Master's degree he also worked as an intern at Eastern Michigan University under the tutelage of the two-time Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year, Ron McKeefery. He also spent a period in Colorado Springs after he received one of three intern spots with the National Strength and Conditioning Association. This program was a unique challenge and exceptional learning experience as Taylor worked not only with the highest caliber of athletes, but also training military, fire, and police units.
 
All this before the age of 26.

Since he has been here, all of the programs have competed at a much higher level and have broken school records, earned numerous RMAC and NCAA honors and has created a pivotal change in athletic performance. Each team now has a personalized and detailed pre-season, in-season, and post-season routine, and the results are evident. Lange has not only increased athletes' abilities but has been a mentor to each athlete that he works with. Taylor Lange has changed the course of Colorado Christian athletics indefinitely.

His focus has never been about himself, he is in this for the Cougars. "This is the dream job, so now the dream of this job is to see CCU [athletics] be put on the map. I'd love to see Colorado Christian with big time facilities that rival those of a school like Mesa and competing with those big state schools, because there really aren't a lot of Christian schools that truly compete. I would love to see that because that would change everything."
