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.
0:20.3	And welcome once again to the Purple Patch podcast. This is
0:23.6	your host as ever, Matt Dixon, and welcome this week, guys, something a little different. It's an
0:30.1	episode I've promised since launching our connection to you, the listener, with that mythical email
0:35.8	questions at purple patch fitness.com. I've been encouraging you to
0:40.2	ask me questions about anything related to performance and we've been inundated. So thank you.
0:47.3	Really appreciate it and encouraged by your interest. I've tried to answer about one question per week,
0:53.7	but you know what? It's kind of time to

1:41.7	friends, as well as a quick review on iTunes podcast, is always
1:45.7	greatly appreciated. As you can imagine, it helps to spread the word, get our message to the people,
1:51.8	so your support is genuinely welcomed. But before we get to your questions, first, that jingle.
1:58.2	I know, go on, you love it, don't you? I know. You do, don't you? All right, here it is.
2:04.3	The jingle. We like the way he thinks. Serious with a wink. Let's open the book. It's time to take a peek.
2:14.0	It's the Dixenary Word of the Week.
