Summary

In Part 2 of the Purple Patch series on performance nutrition, Matt Dixon, along with leading performance nutritionist, Scott Tindal, lift the veil on nutrition and fueling with nutrition case studies around real-life Purple Patch athletes.

The goal? To frame a smarter common-sense approach to nutrition in order to build a long-term platform of health and resilience.

This case study is centered around Purple Patch athlete, Pat Romano. Pat is the CEO of Chargepoint and a dedicated husband and father. He has been a consistent high-performing Purple Patch athlete for over 10 years.

The mission with Pat is simple: How can we help him still excel in sports performance as he starts heading towards his late 50s? And, how can he continue to thrive in energy and health to enable him to be the best leader and father he can be?

Matt and Pat developed strategies around:

  • Endurance Programming around getting stronger and faster

  • Doubling Down on Strength and Conditioning work

  • Emphasis and Recommitment on Nutrition and Fueling - Are there any stones unturned in his approach to nutrition?

Today, Matt and Scott walk you through the discovery process, diagnosis, and strategies for Pat's success including his best-ever performance at Oregon 70.3.

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

0:17.2

integrate sport into life. All right, gang, gang welcome so we're just about to get on with

0:23.5

the show but I wanted to give you a quick heads up and a little offer so that we can kick this off

in style. Now you know that I'm always yapping on about high performance sport, health, life
