Summary

Did you know that winning can be a highly frustrating experience for a champion? Hard to believe, right? How is that even possible?

Today, Matt parks this episode right at the intersection of measuring internal standards of performance against outcomes, such as results.

Should we always seek victory? Or, is it better to chase personal performance and improvement?

It's a deep dive highlighted with real-life stories of Purple Patch pros and age groupers from all levels. Perhaps you can relate.

Also included in this episode:

The Dixon-ary Word of the Week: Tissue Health. When and why should we use foam rollers? What are the best practices around these torture devices for true recovery?

Question of the Week: When my mind is wandering in a workout or thinking about work, how do I shift my mindset to focus on the task?
