Episode 70: Shayla Cravens Taylor

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.
