Episode 71: Jay and Ken on Joining a New Team, Being a Pitching Coach
<p>Jay and Ken offer a timely episode that offers tips for players and parents to help ease the transition onto a new team, and for coaches to begin the tough work of getting teams with some or all new players to gel. They share some strategies and activities they have used to make it happen. The guys also talk about some sides of being a pitching coach, or any type of instructor for that matter, that people often don't see. It's about a lot more than the lesson itself!</p>

Episode 70: Shayla Cravens Taylor
<p>In this week's episode, Jay and Ken speak with Fuel and Fire owner Shayla Cravens Taylor about her journey as a star pitcher at Silver Creek High School in Indiana, her time as a D1 pitcher at Kennesaw State University, and the events that led to her launching her career as both a pitching coach and a registered dietician. Coach Taylor talks about how meeting Lisa Fernandez when she was a youth player inspired her, the differences between what she was taught and what she teaches (and why she changed), and what her business entails. She also shares some tips about diet and nutrition, including what to eat at tournaments (and when to eat it), her thoughts on supplements, how much protein softball players really need, and how to stay hydrated on hot and humid days. She also busts a few food-related myths. If you are interested in pitching lessons or a nutrition consultation, you can contact Coach Taylor at https://www.fuelandfirellc.com/ or via her Facebook Fuel and Fire LLC Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/fuelandfirefastpitch. </p>

Episode 69: Joni Frei
<p>Jay and Ken were delighted to speak with Joni Frei, founder and lead architect of Canada Futures, a program designed to identify and nurture high-level softball talent in Canada while raising the quality of play across the board, about her work with that organization, why this Canadian chose to play at Georgia State College and University (the reasons will surprise and amuse you), how she came to be an assistant coach at Kennesaw State University, and her experiences coaching internationally in Austria and Uganda, among other locations. She also shares why she is so dedicated to mentoring younger coaches, some ways the game has changed, a Disney-quality story about bringing a Ugandan team to play in a major tournament in Canada and more! A huge shoutout to Sarah Pauly for connecting us with Joni. For more information about Canada Futures, go to https://www.canada-futures.com/. </p>
