I'm Matt Dixon and welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. The mission of Purple Patch is to empower and educate every human being to reach their athletic potential. Through the lens of athletic potential, you reach your human potential. The purpose of this podcast is to help time-starved people everywhere integrate sport into life.

And welcome to the Purple Patch podcast, as ever, your host Matt Dixon.

And this week, it is our annual holiday gift guide, all for the performance enthusiasts.

Yes, a little fun, and I hope some help from us to you.

This year, what we didn't feel it was appropriate,

just to splash out on those regular style gifts.

So instead, kind of doing our 2020 gift guide a little different.

We've got a few tasty options that we've segmented out in categories, but trying to align as much as we can

with the sensibilities of the year that it has been 2020. And so this year, just like the year

that it's been, there's a few little twists on the gift side of things. Now, before we put on our

crissy sweaters and antlers on our head, we've got plenty to get through. And so first,

we're going to do the Squatty update. Our Purple Patch athletes and fitness enthusiasts have

commenced what we call their preparatory phase of training.

And so it's a time of the year where they go lower on the physical load, a little less on the mental focus required,

but still an absolutely central and critical phase of training to prepare them for the great successes in the big months

ahead. And as we do this, we're heading into the holidays. And those holidays, well, we anticipate

a little bit of a mix-up because training and the blend of all the chaos with your family,

schedule conflicts that we face,

etc.

And so many, many, just wait, wait until the new year to be proactive in performance.

But we and our athletes are not.

We are now halfway through our December challenge.
