My name is Taylor, and my husband Brice is a full time Athletic Trainer at New Diana High School, in Diana, Texas! I currently work for an online Jewelry shop, called Modern Merrigold! I’m thankful about how flexible my job is, so my Friday nights are usually free! Being an AT wife is great. My husband absolutely LOVES what he does, and I may be partial but he is one of the best. Although, one downfall is I don’t get him back after football season! (Which is usually the time I see him least!). His job is all school year long. Sometimes it’s tough, but seeing him on the sidelines on Friday nights, and hearing all the stories about his athletes and the things he helps them overcome, makes it all worth it! This year we welcomed our baby boy, Jack, in January. He’s already been to a few games at the school, but we can’t wait to show him the Friday Night Lights!
What is your favorite part of this lifestyle?-
All the support we get from the other coaches! He has a great support system by his side, and the wives are always fun too.
What is your LEAST favorite part of this lifestyle?
- Not seeing my husband from sun up, to sun down! Sometimes it’s a struggle, he leaves before I get up, and by the time he gets home, we are both ready for bed. But we try and make the most of it!
What is one item you can't live without that makes this life easier?
- My Stanley cup!
What is your go to concession stand order or must have snack?
- I’m a snack girl through and through, so give me some popcorn or a candy and I’m good to go.
What is the craziest thing you have survived due to this lifestyle?
- Long distance! Brice took a new job two hours away. While we were in the middle of planning a wedding. I definitely wasn’t going to move until after the wedding, and luckily he was fine driving back and forth. But that was a tough one!
What is one thing you would go back and tell your younger self?
-
Get ready for the lifestyle! Be prepared to eat dinners alone…But enjoy the ride! And always support your husband, no matter what life throws at you.
