Fueling Young Athletes with Clark Hardman, Co-Founder of Thread Performance
Today’s episode is especially for the moms and dads out there who are raising athletes of any age. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Clark Hardman, co-founder of Thread Performance, for an insightful conversation about nutrition and youth sports.
We dove into the importance of foundational nutrition, and why sometimes supplementation is not only helpful but necessary. Clark shared practical strategies for supporting kids in sports—whether they’re just starting out at 8 years old or competing at 18.
Some of the key topics we covered include:
- Why good nutrition matters just as much as practice and training.
- How parents can help fuel their athletes for energy, performance, and recovery.
- When and why supplements like creatine might be right for certain athletes.
- How to support picky eaters who may not be getting everything they need.
- The role of parents in encouraging balanced, sustainable habits around food and performance.
This was such a valuable conversation, and I know many of you listening have kiddos in sports or are navigating picky eating at home. You’ll walk away with actionable tips you can start applying right away.
