0:00.0	Today's show is a cracker. We continue our conversation around what an athlete needs to be successful.
0:08.1	It goes well beyond the training plan. And in today's discussion, Max and I break apart, not just
0:14.2	what an athlete needs to be successful, but how Purple Patch has designed our one-to-one coaching
0:19.1	to serve those needs. It goes well beyond just delivering
0:22.0	workouts and maybe giving a little bit of feedback. I think you're going to find today useful.
0:26.4	If you're a coach, you might be able to take some of the lessons and apply to your own
0:30.2	coaching of athletes. If you're an athlete, maybe it will broaden your perspective on how to
0:34.7	actually build a performance recipe for yourself. Of course, it might also
0:39.6	be a catalyst where you want to continue the conversation with Purple Patch. Maybe you want to
0:44.0	understand how we can help you support your journey. And so why don't you reach out to us for a
0:50.1	complementary needs assessment. We'd like to understand your goals, your needs, what you're looking to accomplish. You can set up a complimentary call with Max, who is my co-host today. He's going to really dig deep into what you are looking for as an athlete and what you're looking to achieve. And then we can see if there's an alignment. It's absolutely no pressure. We are just there to try and support you along your journey.
1:12.2	And so I hope that you enjoy the show today and you find it beneficial. And if you would like to
1:16.4	reach out, don't hesitate. Feel free to just reach out to info at purple patchfitness.com.
1:22.2	That's info at purple patchfitness.com. We'll set up a call at your convenience and we'll explore
1:27.0	if we're a right
1:27.7	partner for each other. All righty. With that, enjoy the show and I hope you find it's beneficial.
1:32.7	Take care. I'm Matt Dixon and welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. The mission of Purple Patch
1:38.3	is to empower and educate every human being to reach their athletic potential. Through the
1:43.4	lens of athletic potential, you reach your human potential.
1:47.0	The purpose of this podcast is to help time-starved people everywhere
