‍In this episode, Tex and Dr. Mike tackle the conversations every contact sport coach is already having — just without the science to back them up. They break down what creatine actually is, why the steroid myth won't die, the right dosing protocol for youth and high school athletes, hydration concerns in extreme heat, and the growing body of research around creatine as a prophylactic tool for brain health in contact sports.

‍They also dig into caffeine and energy drink culture in youth athletics, the concept of coaching leverage, exogenous ketones in concussion recovery, and why vision training may be the single most underutilized concussion prevention strategy in the game.

Supplements don't build leaders — but they can protect them.
