Welcome to Wisdom Wednesday, the weekly digital series from Extra Inning Softball that brings clarity, experience, and real-life insight to the game we all love. As we continue shifting toward on-the-go content, Wisdom Wednesday delivers thoughtful perspective from softball’s most trusted voices.
This week, we return to Colorado for Part 2 of our summer series—but this time, it’s all about the real pros and cons. Carie Dever-Boaz sat down in Aurora, CO, with Dena Johns, mother of 2026 Commit Crew standout Taylor Johns, for an honest conversation about the highs and lows of the Colorado grind. From elite exposure and unforgettable memories to exhaustion, pressure, and cost—nothing was off the table.
If you’ve ever questioned whether the Colorado circuit is worth it, this one’s for you. Tune in and decide where you stand.
