Taylor has been playing football for 13 years, ranging from co-ed flag, boy's tackle football, women's touch, women's tackle football, and to women's flag with Ottawa Women's Football. Her passion for football stems from the community that surrounds the sport and a love for the game. However, oftentimes football can be exclusive and intimidating for women. Coach Taylor is determined to create more spaces for women in football, and to help foster a better, more inclusive environment for women of all ages to develop as players and to have the opportunity to compete at an elite level. Former U16 provincial coach bring home a bronze medal.

| Michelle is very grateful to be part of the inaugural season of the Hawks. She believes in the positive impact of female presence in football and in the power of community provided by sport. Her late husband pointed her to coaching to bring her love of the game to others and she has been building her coaching skills over the past few years. She has been playing football for over 30 years and brings a deep knowledge base on both sides of the ball. When not on the field, Michelle is mom to an awesome son and works for the Pest Management Regulatory Agency. She is an avid sports fan; loves food, travel, and history; and is a connoisseur of Bugs Bunny and Bloom County. | Coaching with Ottawa Hawks Flag Football excites me. I've coached basketball and soccer, enhancing my skills in teamwork, communication, and athlete development. My experience with the "Girls Run the World" tournament showcases my commitment to empowering young athletes. Flag football's inclusion in the 2028 Olympics offers a unique opportunity to help athletes pursue post-secondary and international success. |

| Football has been my passion since I was 30 years old. I have played Touch, Flag, and even tried Tackle Football. I love playing, watching, and now coaching. I wanted to be part of an amazing organization where I could share my knowledge and passion. I'm so happy to join OWF and be the Head Coach of U16B. Besides football, I enjoy playing Softball and Volleyball. I also travel a lot and am always looking for the next destination. |
My name is Daniel Gonzalez. I'm 25 years old. I started practicing football when I was 7, and I continued with college football at one of the most prestigious universities in Mexico. Throughout my sports life, I have had the opportunity to participate in different flag football tournaments as a player and coach. My passion for the sport was born during my early years as a child when I learned about the discipline and character that this sport develops in a person. I consider it as one of the most complete sports, not only generating great athletes but also individuals with integrity and success in every aspect of their lives. So, I'm super excited to share with the team what this sport has taught me during my life, and I believe that success is the result of love and hard work in whatever you do. |
