    Episode 311: Performance is Performance
    Apr 24 2024

    "How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice." This age-old saying has stood the test of time. There is no shortcut to success, and achieving elite status in any field requires a lot of hard work and dedication. Consistently high performance can only be achieved through practice, or following a set of practices that are designed to bring out your best performance.

    IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon has developed a simple premise that applies to all areas of performance. This concept is at the heart of the discussion in this week’s podcast - Performance is performance. In this episode, Matt delves deep into this idea to help you set a plan that will help you achieve consistent and predictable results. This is what we like to call "Purple Patches".

    Matt has spent the last 20 years of his career as a coach working with a diverse range of clients, from professional athletes to high-level executives. He strongly believes that the principles of success in triathlon can be applied to leadership in the workplace.

    This episode aims to highlight the practices used by high-performers and make them accessible to anyone looking to enhance their performance in any field or endeavor.

  • Episode 310: Purple Patch Case Studies - with Jeff Lipschultz and Marcel Lopez

    Episode 310: Purple Patch Case Studies - with Jeff Lipschultz and Marcel Lopez
    Apr 17 2024
    Welcome to the Purple Patch podcast! A few weeks ago, we began a special series on case studies of Purple Patch athletes. In this series, we share their stories and insights to help you learn how they have benefited from the Purple Patch methodology. Our goal is to help you understand how this methodology and mindset can facilitate better performance in your own life. Our first athlete in this series was Mike Kane. Mike initially focused solely on fitness, but with some guidance, shifted his perspective towards health and habits and unlocked effectiveness in his training and how he showed up as a leader. This week, we are excited to welcome two Purple Patch athletes, Jeff Lipschultz and Marcel Lopez. They both have inspiring stories to share about how they used sports to improve their lives, shift their perspectives, and achieve better results. Jeff's story is about his journey from a childhood that didn't include many sports to using sports to enrich his community. He talks about the lessons he learned from other athletes and how the squad mentality and global network of support have amplified all aspects of his life. Marcel's story centers on an evolution of approach and mindset. Obsessed with data, Marcel’s misguided approach inspired punishing training sessions and an unequal return on investment for his efforts. He discusses the change of perspective and the simple changes to his training habits that have yielded unexpected results. Jeff and Marcel's stories are compelling and offer valuable lessons to help you enhance your performance in sports or life and achieve better results in any endeavor you pursue.

    Episode 309: Understanding Nutrition and Stress
    Apr 10 2024
    On this week's episode of the Purple Patch podcast, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon delves into the topic of stress. Dealing with stress is crucial for personal growth, but it can also negatively impact your daily performance. In this episode, Matt highlights the role of stress in nutrition and eating habits and emphasizes three key areas where your approach and the role of stress can determine your success or struggle. Matt explains how different stressors can affect athletes' eating habits. He describes how stress can create weaknesses by disrupting regulatory processes that help us maintain healthy eating habits, which can derail adherence to a smart eating plan. Matt offers guidance on how to adjust your mindset and approach to the quantity, quality, and timing of your meals to better cope with stress, develop a strategy, and improve your overall health. He also discusses supportive habits in other areas of performance, such as sleep and training, that can complement your nutritional approach. Additionally, Matt talks about the concept of "race weight" and how focusing excessively on it can increase stress, create an unhealthy relationship with food, and derail your goals. We recommend listening to this episode before making any changes to your eating habits. It will help you broaden your perspective and understand what you can do to achieve your desired results. Whether you want to improve your race day performance, change your body composition, maintain good health, or be more productive at work, managing stress is crucial to adopting a healthy approach. In this episode, we also provide resources for anyone looking for expert guidance on their nutritional journey.
