Taj Adams

If you know Coach T, you know that he’s bringing enough energy for the whole gym! Taj was first introduced to PGC as an Observing Coach during his young coaching career at King’s Christian Collegiate. He soon joined PGC’s team as a Basket Instructor dedicated to learn and teach the game to athletes from all around the world. Through his experiences coaching, Taj was able to find his gift of perspective and he met people where their feet were. Having to climb over a bunch of obstacles in his career, Taj witnessed the pinnacle and depths of being an athlete with big dreams. Through this work and adversity he grew into an amazing player, teammate and now coach.

Taj Adams was a very active kid when he was younger and played Soccer, Volleyball, and Swimming, but the love for the game of Basketball fell right into his lap.You would think the first thing he picked up as a toddler would’ve been a ball, but surprisingly it was a pair of track spikes. Ending his Track and Field career as a 3x Provincial Medalist, 5x Halton Champion, 14x Ontario Christian Championship Medalist, Team Ontario Long Jumper, and Team Captain for varsity all 4 years of high school. To this day he still credits all his athleticism to his love to play multiple sports. His whole life he was told he was too small, but he learned that all the size went to his heart and that was an advantage. Now knowing if he wanted to make any team, Taj would have to outwork everyone ten fold.

Through the many highs and lows, he decided it was time to tie up the laces and start giving back. Taj Adams is currently proceeding with his coaching career at his Alma Mater, King’s Christian Collegiate, as the Head Coach for Junior Varsity girls and the Assistant Coach for the Varsity girls who play in the Ontario Scholastic Basketball Association. Alongside his career of coaching and training athletes from 4th Grade to the Pro level, Taj holds the Assistant Athletic Director position at King’s Christian Collegiate. Being around the youth everyday, Taj finds a huge portion of his joy being fueled from giving back more of the same love he received from the game and outside of it. This is a huge reason why Taj is grateful for the guidance from his Mother and his high school coach, Eric Bulthuis. He has become a passionate, altruistic and energetic leader who still loves to be a student while teaching the game.
