Summary

"The barometer of a time-starved athlete's success should be anchored around nailing an appropriate postseason over chasing weekly hours in the heart of race season. What you do well now is the thing that will determine your opportunity to evolve, break out, and excel in the year ahead."

The meat and potatoes of this episode of real-life postseason case studies will educate, provide perspective, and provide the “why” behind the framework of setting this up in different scenarios.

Matt walks through the framework of setting up a successful postseason with three real athlete case studies:

The Athlete with a Winter Marathon on the Horizon
The Postseason Sloth who Turns Their Back on the Sport
The Athlete Still Training for a Late-Season Ironman

Can you still set up a successful postseason while charging forward? Indeed, you can.

0:22.5	your host Matt Dixon. You asked, I give. Last week, we discussed the theory behind postseason.
0:32.1	No man's land, the time after when you take the break from your last race of the season,
0:37.1	no matter what sport you love to do,
0:39.7	and you enter the off-season, the time, the break, the void, the place where so many make mistakes.
0:47.5	This week, we go applied.
0:50.6	Yes, we apply the theory to real-life case studies.

0:59.9	Three stories that I'm sure will resonate with many of you listening.

1:11.2	hard place. I break down each story with each personality. Why? To educate. To provide perspective
1:19.8	and help you identify the why behind my most consistent statement that I make as a coach,
1:25.7	the barometer of a time-staffed athlete success should be
1:29.4	anchored around nailing an appropriate postseason over chasing weekly hours in the heart of race
1:35.6	season. Yes, what you do well now is the thing that will determine your opportunity to evolve, break out and excel in the year ahead.
