Summary

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast!

On this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon and Purple Patch Coach Max Gering discuss how the midpoint of any racing season is more than just a milestone—it's a vital opportunity to pause, assess, and intentionally adjust one's course. Dixon talks about the power of midseason reflection and how to leverage it for sustained high performance. Racing reveals more than just physical fitness—it reflects your mindset, habits, preparation, and resilience. This episode explores how athletes can utilize these insights to either stay the course or make informed, targeted adjustments that lead to breakthrough results in the second half of the season.

0:00.0	Just before we get going with today's show, I should point out that I'm on location today. I'm
0:05.4	recording the show in Montana, a little place in my heart. My wife Kelly is, of course, from
0:10.3	Montana. Today's show is all about assessment and reflection. As you listen, you might have a spark of
0:16.8	intrigue. So I want to give you three options to deepen the conversation with us and get a little
0:22.5	bit of engagement going. The first is if you would like a complementary needs assessment, help you
0:27.0	understand where you should put your next path forward in your performance journey. Feel free to reach
0:31.8	out to us. We're happy to have a complementary needs assessment with you. If you'd like to go really,
0:36.6	really deep, you don't need to be a
0:38.7	purple patch athlete to take advantage of the expertise of myself and the coaching team. If you'd
0:43.5	like to set up a pay consultation, we can do that as well. We'll help you go through the process of
0:49.1	reflection and assessment so that you can chart the best process forward, even if you intend to carry on self-coaching
0:55.2	or retain your coaching relationship. And of course, we're always here to talk about any
0:59.8	Purple Patch program that you would like. All of the above, just reach out to us. Info at
1:05.0	purplepatchfitness.com. We can set up a complimentary call, see what is best for you, and take
1:10.4	the next best steps.
1:11.7	But until the end of the show, I'll say, have fun. Enjoy. It's going to be a useful one. Assessment and
1:17.8	reflection. Enjoy the show. I'm Matt Dixon and welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. The mission of
1:24.1	Purple Patch is to empower and educate every human being to reach their athletic potential.
1:29.4	Through the lens of athletic potential, you reach your human potential.
1:33.4	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.
1:53.0	But once again, I'm joined with my co-host.
1:55.6	Welcome back, Max Guerin.
