Conflict is universal.
Sports conflict is unique.
Conflict is everywhere—especially in sports.
It’s the one challenge every team, coach, and athlete will face. It can break a season—or fuel greatness.
​
You can train your body, sharpen your mind, invest time and money—only to watch it all unravel from one mismanaged conflict. No mistake is more costly.
Yet most in sports have zero tools or support to navigate it. No playbook. No system. No backup.
​
Until now.
Sports Conflict Lab exists to change the game—arming leaders, athletes, and organizations with the skills, strategies, and support to manage conflict before it manages them.
Protect your culture. Strengthen your team. Elevate your performance.
Because mastering conflict isn’t optional. It’s everything.

About Us.
Bill Taylor, founder of Sports Conflict Lab, brings over 20 years of success as a collegiate head coach. After navigating a deeply challenging conflict later in his coaching career, he earned a Master’s in Conflict Management and turned that personal turning point into a professional mission.
​
He launched Sports Conflict Lab to deliver one of the most overlooked but vital tools in sports: conflict training and strategy.
​
In sports, organizations invest millions in training, facilities, gear, psychology, travel, recovery, and team culture. But all of it—every dollar and every hour—can unravel in a moment if conflict is ignored or mishandled.
​
Conflict is the greatest threat to success in sports—and the greatest opportunity.
It’s often a blind spot, but it doesn't have to be.
​
Sports Conflict Lab exists to fill that gap. We help teams, leaders, and organizations turn conflict into a competitive advantage—strengthening relationships, culture, performance, and long-term results.
We’re here to help protect your investment in the game—and unlock your full potential.
​
We provide administrators, coaches, athletes, and leaders with the strategies to turn healthy conflict into a competitive advantage.
