    Episode 285: Offseason - Foundation, Skills, and Technique (Part 3 - Your Questions Answered)

    Welcome to the final installment of our three-part series on the off-season, in which we frame the approach to building a foundation of performance, developing skills, and improving technique.

    This week’s episode centers on you and the questions you have about Q4 and beyond. Matt shares the questions you’ve sent in over the past few weeks on how to connect the information from our previous episodes on the off-season to your own performance journey.

    During our three-part conversation about the off-season, we discussed the various elements and significance of this training phase. This included insights on rejuvenation, mindset, and strategies to ensure that the next 2-3 months serve as a catalyst for improving our future selves while still allowing for enjoyment and flexibility. We also shared the Purple Patch approach and exciting details about specific plans for the upcoming block of training.

    Although we have focused on season planning and triathlete journeys, we have received numerous questions from individuals who are not competing athletically. These questions pertain to health and overall life performance. Whether you are an athlete seeking to establish a foundation of performance prior to intensifying your training, or a fitness enthusiast aiming to maximize your winter months, Matt offers guidance to help you gain clarity and set yourself up for success in both work and life in the coming year.

    Whether you're in Alaska or Hawaii, Detroit or Singapore, off-season is a key part, a fundamental part of your year. And in fact, I would say it is the highest predictor of creating a wonderful performance breakthrough no matter what your goal is in the months ahead. It's easier. You have more capacity. You take a step back, but it's so that you can take 10 steps forward. And by not doing that you're going to run into problems. - Matt Dixon

    Episode 280: Purple Patch Case Study Series - #4 - Vijay (Performance in Life)

    Episode 280: Purple Patch Case Study Series - #4 - Vijay (Performance in Life)

    This week on the Purple Patch Podcast, we continue our Purple Patch Performance Case Studies series. In this series, we delve into real-life examples and the experiences of real athletes to provide practical insights about performance.

    In this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon looks beyond athletics and sports and outlines a path to sustained high performance in work and life. Through the case study of Purple Patch athlete Vijay, Matt highlights the results of adopting an athletic mindset and strategies for improving health and how one shows up in work and life.

    In our case studies, athletes have used the Purple Patch Pillars of performance to refocus their training, reframe their mindsets, and improve their race performances. However, what if you're like Vijay, having no interest in being a competitive athlete or struggling to balance work, health, and family?

    You don't need to become a health nut or fitness freak to perform better at work and improve your healthspan. Instead, Matt lays out small, simple steps to achieving emotional and physiological performance results to help you thrive rather than survive.

    With Vijay's story, we aim to inspire and motivate those struggling to adopt performance habits or integrate sports successfully into their daily lives.

    Relevant to the discussion is Matt’s recently published white paper on Sustained High Performance. In it, Matt combines his two decades of coaching observations with current empirical research and direct insights from high-performing C-Suite executives. He lays out a roadmap to amplify performance at the highest levels of business leadership. Click here to download your free copy and to access Matt's extensive experience in coaching individuals to the highest level of performance in world-class sports, executive performance, and corporate leadership.

    Episode 272: 3 Key Strategies To Help Optimize Your Performance for the Rest of the Year

    Episode 272: 3 Key Strategies To Help Optimize Your Performance for the Rest of the Year

    At the beginning of the year, we took some time to reflect, plan for the future and set Big Hairy Audacious Goals (BHAGs). Now, we have reached the halfway point of the year.

    Most of you hit the ground running with ambitions and lofty goals, but how did they pan out? Are you nailing your goals? Are you thriving in your performance journey? Is it fulfilling? Where can you improve or shift your approach?

    It is essential to come up for air midway through the season and execute some big-picture thinking about the work you have been putting in, the purpose of it, and where you want it to take you.

    On this week’s episode of The Purple Patch Podcast, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon presents a framework to help you evaluate your progress and performance over the past six months to set yourself up for a strong finish to the year.

    Matt lays out a process for identifying the areas within your control where you have excelled, the lessons you have learned, and opportunities for improvement, to help you develop a plan of action to enhance future performance.

    Matt’s framework centers on three questions that all athletes should consider asking themselves.

    • Do you only have a destination or do you have a path?

    • Is your current approach or program integrated into life?

    • Am I getting athletically smarter?

    This episode is an opportunity to pause and reflect on the purpose of your athletic journey and strip down the elements of your process to determine what works, what doesn't, and what you plan to do about it.

    Episode 270: Building the Mental Game in Sport - The Practice of Daily Reinforcement

    Episode 270: Building the Mental Game in Sport - The Practice of Daily Reinforcement

    Are you showing up to your event in the best mental space possible?

    You may have checked all the boxes in your training program and set yourself up to arrive at your event ready to allow trained potential to translate to race-day performance, but setting up the right mindset is one part of the performance readiness equation that is often ignored or misunderstood by athletes and coaches.

    In this episode of the Purple Patch Podcast, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon shares his secret to supercharging your mental game so that you arrive physiologically fresh and mentally prepared on race day.

    Most coaches and athletes jump to pre-event preparation with a heavy emphasis on training and physical readiness, which can sometimes reinforce performance anxiety.

    Instead, Matt offers a path to developing belief and confidence in your approach by focusing on areas within an athlete’s control on a day-to-day basis and reinforcement strategies for framing and processing your post-training and race-day performance.

    Matt lays out a strategy to help you identify what you should be applying your daily focus to, how to process your thoughts on your progress and performance in real-time, and in a healthy and productive way, and actionable strategies to build your performance.

    This episode provides solutions for empowerment and building appropriate behaviors to help put you in control of what you focus on in order to improve resilience, consistency, and, most importantly, confidence.

    "You don't have complete control over what your body gives you on any given day. But you are in control of where you place your focus, and how you think about things. What did you do well today? Start with that. What were the lessons that the day gave you? And what are you going to do with those lessons? This is a path to improvement."

    #054 Rory Warnock | Reduce Stress & Increase Performance With Breathwork

    Hello beautiful people

    On today’s To Be Human podcast we have the lovely Rory Warnock. Rory is a Performance and Wellness Coach specialising in breathwork to improve mental and physical health, and an ultramarathon runner.

    What I personally love about this conversation is Rory’s absolute zest for life. He is so deeply passionate about breathwork and it is in this conversation we discuss the best strategies we can begin implementing in our own lives to reduce stress, anxiety and depression and how we can improve focus, sleep and performance. We also explore Rory’s first ultramarathon experience of the UTA 100 where he shares vulnerably his intention of character building through resilience and why it is so important, in this day and age of comfort, that we overcome set challenges to further develop our sense of purpose and meaning.

    Please enjoy this wonderful conversation with Rory Warnock.
