In this episode of The Hard Truth, Jeremy Fouts sits down with Charlie Williams, a 14-year-old shortstop from Georgia, and his father Chad Williams, to share a real, unfiltered look at what happens when nutrition finally matches an athlete’s work ethic. Charlie came into the program undersized, underfueled, and frustrated after trying other solutions that didn’t work. In just a few weeks, he went from 113 pounds to nearly 125, while improving exit velocity, endurance, confidence, sleep, and overall performance. This conversation isn’t hype—it’s the day-to-day reality of training the appetite, committing to the process, and doing the work when it’s uncomfortable. Jeremy walks through why most young athletes stall not because of talent or effort, but because nutrition is missing from the equation. Charlie and Chad share what the process actually looks like—early mornings, weighing in daily, eating when it’s hard, meal prepping on the road, and trusting the long game. The hard truth: Training harder doesn’t matter if you’re not fueling harder. The good news: When nutrition is done right, confidence, performance, and growth follow fast. From a father choosing to show up instead of taking shortcuts, to a young athlete learning discipline, consistency, and belief in himself, this episode is proof that nutrition doesn’t just change bodies—it changes mindsets, habits, and futures.
