Macie Dever-Boaz and Taylor Johns: Rising Stars with Real Advice

Joining Carie were two of softball’s brightest stars: Macie Dever-Boaz, a commit to Arkansas, and Taylor Johns, a commit to Georgia. These two athletes represent the future of collegiate softball, and they shared their journeys to success with participants. Their first-hand experiences of managing school, athletics, and personal life offer a unique perspective that is often missing from conventional training sessions.

Macie and Taylor’s insights were invaluable for young athletes looking to play at the next level. Their advice on staying focused, playing with passion, and overcoming obstacles resonated with everyone in the room. From battling nerves in big moments to perfecting their craft, their stories show that hard work, dedication, and the right mindset are key to achieving success.

Key Takeaways: Rest, Recovery, and Mindset

One of the most talked-about topics during the Q+A was rest and recovery. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and push through exhaustion, but Carie, Macie, and Taylor emphasized how crucial it is to listen to your body. Rest days are not just for recovery—they are essential for peak performance. Understanding this balance is a critical component for long-term athletic success.

In addition, they discussed the importance of a strong mindset. Softball, like many sports, requires mental toughness. Having the right mindset is the difference between success and failure, especially when facing high-pressure situations. Staying grounded, focusing on the process, and developing resilience are all part of the mental game that these top players stressed. Their insights help players approach challenges with confidence, even in the most intense moments.

Nutrition: Fuel Your Body for Success

When it comes to nutrition, the panel provided clear and practical advice on fueling the body for optimal performance. A balanced diet is critical to sustain energy levels and ensure that players can give their best effort during practices and games. They encouraged athletes to focus on healthy, nutrient-dense foods that support strength, stamina, and recovery.

Proper hydration and the right amount of protein were key components discussed during the session. Macie and Taylor both emphasized how paying attention to what you put into your body can make a significant impact on both performance and recovery time.
