Download our Sample Post-Season Workouts

There couldn’t be a more valuable part of the season to make fundamental groundwork changes to who you are as an athlete.

Purple Patch views the post-season as perhaps THE most important block of training which includes preparation for the heavy lifting ahead, technical and skills development, and critical ‘building block’ work of good habits that pave the way for greater yields from the training that will come later.

Consider it as the first part of your annual performance journey, and the absolute bedrock and foundation of your construction project as an athlete.

In this episode, Matt Dixon dispels myths around this phase by talking about two real-life Purple Patch athletes and how they've traditionally approached post-season. A small shift in focus yielded much improvement for the next season.

How important is post-season?
What is the mission of post-season and what is your mindset?
What type of workouts should you do?

These topics and more are built into this episode about post-season and your opportunity to set up a better season and year of performance and health than you’ve ever had before.

0:29.8	You see, performance, no matter your goals or aspirations, is never linear.
0:34.8	If you try to train to a simple linear progression, your destination will be plateau
0:41.2	town. Excellence bubbles out of training in a cyclical fashion. And if we agree that it should be cyclical,
0:50.0	then there must be downtime, a rest, a period of easy load, and we discussed much of that last week and taken a break.
0:57.7	But what about that return to training?
1:00.1	How should you ramp in and set up a better season
1:03.7	or year of performance and health than you've ever had before?

1:29.7	no matter who you are, with a proper postseason. And it begins today. But before we go on with
1:37.8	word of the week and meat and potatoes, as we like to call it, I want to give you some special words
1:42.7	this week. You see, we're hiring.
1:45.3	Yes, like a scrubby old piece of A4 paper hanging on the front door of a fast food restaurant
1:51.7	with a little sign that says apply inside.
1:55.6	All right, not quite.
1:57.1	But Team Purple Patch is looking to add to their coaching team.
2:01.4	We already have a really close and dedicated team of coaches who I trust and believe in.
