Welcome to another episode of the Purple Patch podcast.
This week, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon explores the concept of Child’s play. What do children have to do with our pursuit of high performance in work, life, and sport? It turns out, quite a bit.
While it may sometimes seem like kids do nothing but go to school, say the wildest things, and create messes around the house, the study of child development holds valuable lessons. Understanding how children grow into high-functioning adults can parallel the importance of sports and physical challenges in our own lives. These experiences can help us perform better under pressure in all aspects of life.
Today's discussion about high performance will draw inspiration from the playful and physical activities of children that many of us remember from our childhoods. The aim is to rejuvenate your spirit of adventure and inspire you to either rediscover the joy in your current pursuits or take on an entirely new challenge.

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast!
As we air this show, most Purple Patch athletes are busy preparing for a variety of late-season races. We have the Ironman World Championships in Nice for the women, the Ironman World Championships in Kona for the men, the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in New Zealand, and the T100 series ramping up with the championship approaching for the pros. Additionally, we have the New York Marathon, the Santa Cruz Half Ironman, and a series of Ultra Trail runs.
Despite these big looming events, we want to take a moment to encourage high performers to pause, step back, and reflect. In this week’s episode, we take a look back at the past year to see the big picture of how we made it to this point.
Almost a year ago, we emphasized the critical role of Off-Season in achieving significant performance gains in the year ahead. This week we want to report on the impact of this approach on Purple Patch athletes.
First, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon revisits the key goals of Off-Season and focuses on what a successful off-season looks like. Matt then shares his observations and insights from this past season and both qualitative and quantitative data to highlight the effects of Off-Season. He then shares feedback from Purple Patch athletes on how Off-Season affected their performance and lives.
In this episode, Matt discusses the mindset and commitment required to excel in your Off-Season. Whether you are preparing for upcoming events or gearing up to tackle a personal challenge in 2025, this show is crucial for you to refocus and recalibrate your performance, regardless of your goals.

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! This week, we're exploring the topic of mature athletes. These athletes are just as ambitious and goal-driven as younger ones, but they often have a deeper and more meaningful purpose beyond winning races and setting personal records.
We received a great question from a podcast listener who has participated in triathlons for over 20 years. Despite still being ambitious, she now has three kids and is seeking advice on how to approach the sport from a new perspective and adjust her training. This is a common challenge for many athletes, not just in triathlon.
We've dedicated a whole show to addressing this question and hopefully, we provide helpful guidance for any mature athlete looking to optimize their mindset, strategy, and training for performance gains. The episode is divided into three parts. The first part discusses "perspective" and building a new relationship with sports. It provides context for understanding how to adjust your approach to sports and how it may differ from your younger and more competitive years.
Part two delves into training practices. What may have worked for you in your 20s as an athlete may not be as helpful for you now. We outline the key elements of training that mature athletes should focus on to achieve the best return on investment.
In part three, we discuss habits all athletes should adopt to support training, with a special emphasis on habits of amplified importance for mature athletes seeking to stay healthy and competitive for years to come.

Welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. In this week's episode, we'll be discussing the traits that deliver high performance.
Our inspiration for this episode came from two sources. Firstly, the incredible achievement in the recent Tour de France, where Mark Cavendish clinched his 35th stage victory. His story embodies passion, joy, and perseverance despite facing numerous obstacles and setbacks. Following a serious injury last year, he made a remarkable comeback and secured a long-awaited win.
The second catalyst was a question received by Matt from an athlete he coaches. This question stemmed from the athlete's observation of the Olympic swimming trials, with the Olympics right around the corner. Watching the returning athletes, many of whom were making their second or third Olympic appearance, left the athlete in awe and sparked thoughts about the mindset of a winner. These seasoned athletes seemed to possess remarkable toughness and composure. Given the stories of comebacks during this year's trials, the athlete wondered if there were lessons that everyday individuals could apply to their own lives.
As it turns out, there are valuable insights to be gained. You don't have to be an elite athlete to draw inspiration from their mindset and the traits that contribute to their success.
In this episode, we'll explore the mindset of high-performance individuals like Mark and discuss the traits that underpin their achievements. Drawing from over 20 years of experience working with elite athletes and organizational leaders, Matt has identified these traits and believes they can be cultivated and developed to enhance our performance in any area of focus.

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast. In this week’s episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon delves deep into the subject of sleep. In this episode, we aim to provide you with an action plan to help you improve the quality of your sleep.
If you're an athlete, this episode is crucial as quality sleep is essential for maximizing the benefits of your training. If you're focused on excelling in the workplace, this episode is equally important as sleep can help to stabilize your energy and optimize cognitive function.
First, Matt provides insight into establishing the right mindset towards sleep to develop a realistic approach to implementing changes to your sleep routine. He then breaks down the various stages of a typical night's sleep to give us a better understanding of how sleep impacts our bodies on a physiological level. Finally, Matt provides actionable tips to develop the practices that can help build consistency and establish opportunities for growth, adaptations, and repair.
With these recommendations, we aim to help you achieve high-quality sleep and a baseline level of energy and cognitive function to make the most of your days.

Welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. This week, our show focuses on performance. Purple Patch is a performance coaching organization, and IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon is well-known for coaching successful Ironman athletes and inspiring strong individual performances. Surprisingly, the backbone of his success has been the use of a team approach. Ironman is an extremely individual sport, but team and community have been essential to Purple Patch’s sustained success over the last two decades.
In this week’s episode, Matt discusses the power and importance of a team approach for individual performance success. He uses a recent Purple Patch training camp in South Carolina as proof of concept. Despite the attendees being vastly different athletically and having individual goals, they came together in just a few short days, created a shared purpose, and emerged as a high-performing team. Matt shares his key takeaways from the training camp and his years of coaching experience to highlight the elements of teamwork that lead to improved individual performance.
We believe you can extract lessons from this story for your journey, whether you aim to improve individual performance in sports, organizational leadership, or any other focus.

We are six months into the year and hopefully in a better position than when we started. Now is the time to look up, find that buoy of progress, take a breath, and realign ourselves before moving forward. This week on the Purple Patch podcast, we REWIND and revisit an important episode about assessing your performance so far and redefining your goals as we enter the second half of the year.
At the beginning of the year, we took 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.

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast. Last week's episode focused on opening the door of opportunity for those who may have never thought it possible to finish a marathon, let alone be successful at one. We discussed strategies to motivate you towards taking on a challenge and strategies to help you thrive.
This week, we focus on those of you who have completed a marathon or even several. In this episode of the Purple Patch Podcast, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon shares actionable steps and strategies to help you improve your performance and take your marathon to the next level.
Matt dissects marathon training and the unique challenges of marathon running to better understand what you face. He discusses common flaws in many marathon training plans to help runners avoid injury and progress. Matt highlights strategies you can leverage for a smarter training approach.
From the benefits of clustered and split runs to practicing good posture with subtle inclines, Matt shares tips that can help enhance your speed and boost your skill set for your next marathon.
Also, be sure to check out our free live webinar, Strategies to Nail Your Marathon & Half Marathon, where Matt offers a more in-depth analysis of these points.

Welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. This week, we aim to inspire, instill hope, and create opportunities. Many people watch others doing amazing things and think, "That's not for me. I couldn't do that." But the truth is, you can do it if you apply a smart and patient approach that builds incrementally over time. Before you know it, you can look back and marvel at what you have accomplished, regardless of the challenge or goal, whether in sport or life.
In this week's episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon focuses on marathon and half marathon races. Half marathons are a great starting point for many people and can serve as a bridge to longer distances. Whether you've struggled with injuries or don't consider yourself a runner, Matt offers insight and tips to help you break through those barriers.
Drawing from two case studies, Matt explores the common challenges faced by athletes training for long-distance runs and offers simple solutions to maximize their potential. The first case study features an athlete who initially believed completing a race was impossible, but ultimately discovered untapped capabilities. The second case study showcases an athlete who overcame injuries by adjusting their approach and achieved significant success. We believe you’ll find these stories informative, helpful, and inspiring and we hope they motivate you to take on your challenges.
Matt also shares his five-point plan to help you refocus your approach and mindset, to get you started on your first or next long-distance race. Check out our free live webinar, Strategies to Nail Your Marathon & Half Marathon, where Matt offers a more in-depth analysis of these points.

Welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. This week, we continue our series on Purple Patch Case Studies, where we hear first-hand experiences of time-starved athletes on their journey towards improved performance in sports and life.
This week, Matt welcomes Purple Patch athletes Rachel Brown and Tiger Paton. Rachel, a busy mother of seven boys, is a passionate runner with a wonderful story of shifting perspectives. By embracing the tri-squad approach, Rachel evolved her understanding of training and multi-sport to become a faster runner and unlocked abilities she never considered.
Tiger Paton, a well-known figure in the Purple Patch community, serves as our squad specialist and program manager. She began her journey as a Purple Patch Squad athlete several years ago. She shares an inspiring lesson about perseverance. As a new athlete, she fully used all the tools in the program to overcome injury and fatigue. Struggling to find time for her health and needing a change, Tiger found support in the Purple Patch community. She integrated training into her life and wholeheartedly embraced her journey as a triathlete. Tiger’s story is an outstanding example of athlete development in sport and life.
Both case studies highlight valuable lessons and practical advice to boost your progress or inspire you to kick-start your journey towards your future self.

Welcome to the Purple Patch podcast with IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon.
In this week's episode, Matt shares valuable insights into how athletes can improve their speed without spending more time, money, or energy than they already have. Matt believes that instead of relying solely on metrics and data, you can achieve "free speed", or "Smart Speed" as he calls it, by thinking outside the box and focusing on elements that maximize your overall performance. He covers various strategies that can help athletes improve their speed in all three disciplines of triathlon - swim, bike, and run. From counting strokes in the swim to taking walk breaks in the run, Matt's tips are practical, effective, and easy to apply. Whether a beginner or an experienced athlete, you'll find valuable takeaways in this two-part series.
Part two of our Free Speed series will explore advanced topics like racecraft, mindset, and energy management. So stay tuned!

Welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. This week we continue our series on Purple Patch Case Studies, where we hear first-hand experiences of time-starved athletes on their journey towards improved performance in sports and life.
This week, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon welcomes Purple Patch athlete Ben Cooper to the show. Like most Purple Patch athletes, Ben has a lot on his plate. He is a managing director at a major real estate company based in London, and he is also a devoted father of a three-year-old. Despite his busy schedule, he juggles all his responsibilities while dealing with weekly travel obligations. Ben's life is complex and time-starved, but he is determined to make it all work.
Two years ago, when Ben was first introduced to Matt and Purple Patch Fitness, he struggled. Ben was dealing with exhaustion, burnout, and mental health challenges stemming from the stress of having a child during the COVID-19 pandemic. Like many people at the time, he felt lost and overwhelmed. A former rugby player, Ben had lost his fitness, gained weight, had low energy, had terrible sleep, and had no idea how to break free from the negative cycle he was stuck in. In Ben's own words, he was surviving, not thriving.
Ben discusses his challenges in jumpstarting his athletic journey and the strategies he learned through his coaching relationship with Matt to incorporate movement into his daily routine. Ben and Matt discuss the profound impact this had on shifting Ben's mindset, ultimately leading him to happiness, control, improved health, and high performance in all areas of his life.
Ben's story is full of inspiration, perspective, and valuable lessons we can all apply to our lives. We hope that Ben's story motivates you to overcome any challenges you may face and take the initial steps toward achieving high performance in your athletic journey.

"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.
