Taylor McCormick

Taylor loves sports, in particular, golf! 

When Nolan and Sydney found out about their son Taylor’s limb difference, Sydney did extensive research on communities that could help educate them, provide support, and be a place of belonging. They found Angel City Sports. 

The summer of 2023, they attended their first Angel City Sports Premiere Event at USC, the Angel City Games. 

Nolan shares, “We signed up not knowing what to expect and were blown away by the Angel City Games. The greatest thing we watched was track and field. My wife, my mother, my nephew, Taylor, and I were blown away by the sheer talent of the athletes. Out of the blue, Taylor mentions, “they have nubbins just like me.” Nubbin is what we have taught Taylor to call his above elbow limb difference. When he said that out loud to all of us, I started to tear up a bit, because for the first time I felt him make a connection to his left arm which had not happened before.” 

Following the Angel City Games, Taylor began attending the monthly Angel City Sports adaptive golf clinics at Westchester Golf Course. Them getting to know Coach David, Director of Golf for Angel City Sports and the other coaches and individuals who make the adaptive golf clinics possible only made their love for Angel City Sports grow more. When Taylor comes to golf, he’s excited, super focused on the putting green, and willing to try new things like hitting on the driving range. His skills continue to develop, and he impresses anyone who watches. 

Their goal for Taylor is to not hold back. Taylor truly believes he can play any sport. He’s already excelling in golf and Sydney and Nolan can see Taylor participating in soccer, baseball, basketball, swimming, and track and field as he gets older. They are thrilled that Angel City Sports can play a part.
