Summary

Whether your goal as an athlete is to win a race or simply cross the finish line, it can often feel as though the only measure of success is race results. Every event is seemingly a pass-or-fail test reducing your performance journey to one athletic performance.

But how do you move beyond race day and embrace the entire Journey? How do you effectively gauge your improvement and progress?

In this episode of the Purple Patch Podcast, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon provides a framework for measuring improvement beyond the validation of a single race performance. 

Matt provides a mindset built around key principles that will help you re-engage with your performance journey and provide an opportunity for you to place the focus on areas that will yield long-term success.
