Summary
We continue to kick off the year with our on-location podcasts from the 2024 Purple Patch Kona Camp. This year, we have 25 athletes who have put in some hard work and learned some valuable lessons.
In this week's episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon talks about the importance of training camps and what athletes gain from coming together with like-minded individuals to be coached through the experience.
Matt highlights three often overlooked components every athlete and coach should consider, as well as the main reasons why we have so many people returning to our training camp experiences year after year.
Matt emphasizes three often overlooked components that athletes and coaches should consider. He also explains how these three components are part of the main reason athletes choose to return to our training camp experiences year after year.
While training camps seem to be a retreat where athletes simply hammer their way through a training program, an effective training camp experience is much more nuanced.
Matt emphasizes the significance of training, education, skill acquisition, coaching experience, and the cultivation of practices. However, he primarily focuses on three main ideas that are fundamental to the training camp experience. These ideas not only help you succeed in sports but also provide resilience, purpose, and clarity in all of your endeavors.
We believe that investing in a training camp can be one of the best decisions an athlete or performance-minded person can make in their journey, and we hope you consider Purple Patch for your next training camp experience or your first.

| 0:00.0 | I'm Matt Dixon and welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. |
| 0:06.7 | The mission of Purple Patch is to empower and educate every human being to reach their athletic |
| 0:11.6 | potential. |
| 0:12.6 | Through the lens of athletic potential, you reach your human potential. |
| 0:16.5 | The purpose of this podcast is to help time-starved people everywhere in a great sport into life. |
| 0:24.6 | It's early in the year. Your whole year is ahead of you. And me, well, what's become an annual tradition now is I like to get kick started with a purple paddra training camp in, well, a little piece of oasis here in Hawaii. Yes, and I'm looking |
| 0:40.8 | ahead, and I'm just not thinking about my sporting goals. I'm thinking about how I can set up the best |
| 0:46.3 | year of performance ahead for me. One of the tools that I use is inside tracker, and we use this as a tool |
| 0:52.7 | for all of our athletes at Purple Patch. |
| 0:55.0 | The reason is so that we can get precise and filter out many of the distractions |
| 1:00.0 | so that we can get focused on an individual level of the core components that are going to drive |
| 1:06.0 | individual performance. |
| 1:08.0 | How do we do that? |
| 1:09.0 | By taking a look inside, assessing biometrics, combining it with the |
| 1:12.1 | advice and expertise from the team of experts at Inside Tracker, we get to get very specific around |
| 1:17.5 | all aspects of performance. And the best part, it delivers trackable results because if we recess later in the |
| 1:25.5 | year, we can see whether our interventions have actually been focused |
| 1:29.0 | and, of course, yielded the results that we expect. The good news, you can utilize it too. It's very |
| 1:34.9 | simple. Just had to insidetracker.com. That's insidetracker.com slash purple patch. And there you can |

And so we're going to dive into the little bit of the value of training camps today. Enjoy the show. And welcome to the Purple Patch podcast, as ever, your host, |
