Summary
This week on the Purple Patch Podcast, Ironman Master Coach Matt Dixon discusses high performance with Purple Patch athlete Mike Kane.
Mike is the Chief Manufacturing Officer at Framebridge, a framing company based in New Jersey. He has been training with Matt as a Purple Patch athlete for a couple of years.
Mike is the epitome of a time-starved athlete. He's a busy senior executive who travels a ton while trying to integrate sport into life by competing in athletic events such as marathons and Ironman competitions.
In this episode, Matt and Mike detail the challenges and struggles they faced while attempting to decode Mike’s athletic success in his first year with Purple Patch. However, they explain the shift in perspective that eventually transformed his performance.
By chasing a platform of health rather than fitness, Mike was able to unlock dramatic results. He saw significant improvements in his body composition, energy levels, training efficiency, fitness, and overall sense of control. Instead of solely working harder, the emphasis was on improving eating habits, adjusting meal composition, hydration, and his weekly sleep schedule, generating magnified results from the effort already being put in. Now he has a platform where he can achieve much greater success.
Throughout their conversation, Mike and Matt outline the steps they took to identify areas for improvement and what factors led to the change in their approach.
Mike’s story is the essence of what it means to be a Purple Patch athlete. It’s not only inspiring but also a valuable source of lessons for your journey. By adopting the right perspective, cultivating the correct mindset, and integrating healthy habits, you can improve not only your athletic performance but also your overall well-being and how you approach life.
