Meet Eddie Meyers, Elana Meyers Taylor Father

Elana Meyers never saw her father Eddie Meyers’ NFL Dream as a motivation but as something to aspire to. But, she surely admires her father who is a people person. On Father’s Day 2014 Elana wrote on her IG, “Happy Father’s Day to a man who will go around the world and back for his daughter! Love u Dad! #sochi“.

Eddie waited six years to play in an NFL regular-season game, which never happened.

From 1982 to 1987, Eddie served six straight years in the military and used his marine leave to join the Atlanta Falcons training camp. He played exhibition games  — 23 carries, 108 yards, one touchdown in total, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution — but never in the regular season, because duty called. In the preseason game in 1987, he suffered a toe injury and was later released. Although his dreams deferred, he is seeing it through Elana’s success in Olympics.

Elana secured a bronze medal in the two-woman bobsled making her the most decorated Black Winter Olympian with a total of five medals. This allowed her to make history. NBC Olympics tweeted, “Elana Meyers Taylor is now the most decorated woman to ever compete in Olympic bobsled”.

Born on 10 October 1984, Elana Myers won has also competed in 2010, 2014, and 2018 Olympics. She is the wife of fellow bobsled athlete Nic Taylor (@nic.taylor.96) who was also a former splinter and a graduate of Life University where he studied Doctor of Chiropractic.

Later, he played in the NFL for the Atlanta Falcons. Eddie’s wife Janet also played sports throughout her high school years.

A softball player and a cheerleader at one point, Janet however didn’t get to go to college so her athletic career ended in high school. But, Janet saw the potential in her daughter to fulfill her dreams to become an athlete. Watching Elana’s passion for sports, Janet started coaching her daughter to make sure she had everything she needed and made sure that she make it into college.

Despite discouraging words from coaches, her mom took the responsibility to make her Olympic dreams manifest into reality. Janet once saw Bobsled on TV and encouraged her to take on that sport. Because Janet is White, Elana identifies herself as a biracial woman. Janet is 62 years old as of 2022.
