Summary

This BONUS episode is from a LIVE "Meetings with Matt Office Hours" recorded on Monday, March 18th, 2020.

Many of us have lost our compass -- events canceled, training roadmap destroyed, access completely evolved and limited. It is normal to have a phase of despair, frustration, and declining motivation.

In this session, Matt maps a path forward and provides context on how to create structure in the chaos, how to shift your lens of success, and emphasizes the power of community.

He also shares many of the upcoming initiatives Purple Patch is creating to foster motivation, positive energy, and a little friendly competition.

Finally, Matt answers listener questions on performance in our new norm.

Perhaps you as an athlete or coach will benefit!
