The Age When Excuses Have to Die // 112

In this episode of The Hard Truth, Jeremy Fouts addresses the moment every athlete and parent must confront: the age when excuses stop being acceptable and start costing opportunities.

Jeremy breaks down the shift that happens as athletes get older where potential is no longer measured by raw talent, but by discipline, responsibility, and daily habits. He explains how food, sleep, and consistency form the foundation of athletic success, and why the table is the first real training ground long before the weight room. From picky eating to avoidance, comfort to comparison, Jeremy exposes the mindset traps that hold athletes back and how parents can lead by example instead of enabling excuses.

He reveals the hard truth: Potential doesn’t grow in comfort it grows in responsibility.

But the good news? When excuses die, progress begins.

From fueling correctly to building accountability, this episode is a call for parents and athletes to step into ownership, raise standards, and commit to the habits that create champions on the field and better humans off of it.
