Sport is more than just training, competition, or pushing limits—it’s a teacher, a healer, and a connector. It brings people together, creates resilience, and reminds us that movement is a language of its own: https://lnkd.in/gAHinxMh

13 years ago, we started Skratch Labs with a simple mission - help athletes perform better. Like any teenager, we've had our share of awkward moments, growing pains, and questionable decisions (will these photos truly live forever on the internet?). What we've learned is that 'making it' isn't a destination or finish line - it's showing up every day, figuring things out together, and staying curious enough to learn and grow along the way. To our incredible team, partners, and the community who've been part of this journey: thank you for helping us turn a scrappy idea into something that's genuinely making a difference in athletes' lives. Here's to the next chapter, awkward school photos and all!  

Ever wonder how Skratch Labs went from a DIY kitchen project to fueling Olympians? Or why we’ve turned down the easy path of scaling for acquisition in favor of building something real, something that actually helps athletes? In this episode of Second Nature Media, our co-founders, Ian MacGregor & Dr. Allen Lim, sit down to talk about: ✅ How Skratch Labs started with a paint bucket and a hardware store ✅ Why we still prioritize performance over mass-market appeal ✅ The real reason we’re obsessed with the Olympics ✅ And why the “Technology of Gathering” might be the most important performance tool we have If you care about sports or just love a good underdog story, this one’s for you. 🎧 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/gGqqkbrY

Whether it’s creating sport nutrition that performs without compromising your gut or building a café to foster commensality and connection, everything we do is rooted in one simple goal: helping people be better. From the start, we’ve stuck to what we believe—prioritizing authenticity, science, and the real needs of athletes. To be acknowledged for staying true to that mission is a win we don’t take lightly. Thank you Second Nature Media for the Brand of the Year inclusion. And thank you to our community, customers, and teammates who inspire us to keep improving. 

You just crushed a ride, run, or workout. Nice! But if you’re refueling with nothing at all... we need to talk. Recovery matters, and we’ve got your back (and your legs) with our Recovery Sport Drink Mix. Here’s the deal: ⚡️ It’s got a 4:1 carb-to-protein ratio to help rebuild muscle and refill your tank. 🍫 It’s made with real ingredients your body actually recognizes and likes (Chocolate, Horchata, Strawberry, + a new flavor on the way Recovery Mix anyone?). 💧 And it’s got electrolytes to help you rehydrate. Why bother? Because what you eat after your workout is everything if you want to bounce back stronger. Recovery Mix helps you do it the right way—fast, easy, and nothing artificial. Plus, it tastes good, helping look forward to your recovery fuel. 🔥 Pro tip: Try it warm after a cold workout. Plus Run powered by Outside just named it one of their top holiday gifts (only nutrition product to make the list 😎 https://lnkd.in/grvm_iRT). What’s your recovery game? Do you already use Recovery Mix? Got a favorite flavor? Let’s hear it in the comments ⬇️

🏆Earlier this year, Skratch Labs released their Everyday Drink Mix, an unsweetened electrolyte supplement that quickly became a staple for me. I’m not alone—Runner's World recently included it in their 2024 Gear of the Year Awards! Massive appreciation (as always) for Jeff Dengate, Amanda Furrer, and the whole RW team! 🏃 Check out the article here: https://lnkd.in/ei9Pg2Vd

🌱Join us for an inspiring evening at our special event: The Olympic Journey: At the Intersection of Physical and Mental Health 🌱 When we talk about health, we can't separate the mind from the body. Physical health and mental health are deeply interconnected — one affects the other in ways we might not always see immediately. 💭✨ When both the mind and body are in balance, you unlock your potential for peak performance. Whether it's in work, sports, or personal growth, a strong mind and healthy body together create the foundation for resilience, focus, and sustained energy. 🔥💯 It’s not about pushing harder but about finding harmony — the more aligned your mental and physical health are, the better equipped you are to perform at your best. When training for an Olympic event, athletes cannot focus on one aspect of health in isolation: training and caring for both mind and body is key.🧠💪🏻 Hear from a panel of Olympians in cycling and triathlon as they share their personal stories of resilience, mental health, and the physical demands of becoming an Olympian. This intimate discussion will explore the powerful intersection of physical and mental well-being while supporting Pedaling Minds and our mission to empower young riders.🚲 📅Date: November 15, 2024 6:30-9pm 📍Location: Skratch Labs Cafe in Boulder, CO 🎟️Tickets: Secure Your Spot Here! https://lnkd.in/gh3STKKV 🎤Event Details: This event includes light food and beverages, a discussion with these Olympians moderated by Kimberlee Bow, MA, LPC, R-DMT, CT, ACS and Pedaling Minds, and a meet-and-greet with the panelists.
