Summary
"How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice." This age-old saying has stood the test of time. There is no shortcut to success, and achieving elite status in any field requires a lot of hard work and dedication. Consistently high performance can only be achieved through practice, or following a set of practices that are designed to bring out your best performance.
IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon has developed a simple premise that applies to all areas of performance. This concept is at the heart of the discussion in this week’s podcast - Performance is performance. In this episode, Matt delves deep into this idea to help you set a plan that will help you achieve consistent and predictable results. This is what we like to call "Purple Patches".
Matt has spent the last 20 years of his career as a coach working with a diverse range of clients, from professional athletes to high-level executives. He strongly believes that the principles of success in triathlon can be applied to leadership in the workplace.
This episode aims to highlight the practices used by high-performers and make them accessible to anyone looking to enhance their performance in any field or endeavor.

| 0:06.0 | The mission of Purple Patch is to empower and educate every human being to reach their athletic potential. |
| 0:12.0 | Through the lens of athletic potential, you reach your human potential. |
| 0:16.0 | The purpose of this podcast is to help time-starved people everywhere in a great sport into life. |
| 0:24.7 | Well, I'm 50 years of age, and you'll know that if you've been listening to the show recently. |
| 0:30.6 | So what does that mean for me? Well, when I was a puppy, all I really cared about was sports |
| 0:35.9 | performance, getting faster, trying to make the Olympic team, |
| 0:39.2 | trying to be a successful pro. I was kind of middling of both of those. But now things have |
| 0:45.3 | evolved a little bit for me because as I sit in my situation now and look ahead, I care about |
| 0:51.6 | showing up every day with great energy, being able to bring my best to all the |
| 0:56.3 | things that are important to me. But I'm also thinking about the future, future-proofing myself |
| 1:01.7 | against all major illness, making sure that I can have the highest quality of the years, however |
| 1:07.0 | long I'm here ahead of me, that I can pick up the luggage and throw it on the carry-on, |
| 1:12.4 | that I can roll around with backs to my kid as much as I possibly can, fighting, wrestling, playing |
| 1:18.4 | football, whatever it might be. It's about quality of life and it's about performance |
| 1:22.6 | across all aspects of life. And I also want to stay as fast as I can in the stuff that I love to do, |
| 1:29.5 | because I'm still pretty competitive guy. Now, maybe you're a little bit like me. What do I do? |
| 1:34.5 | Well, I adopt lots of positive habits. I reduce my alcohol, especially in the week. I make sure |
| 1:39.9 | that I move my body every day. But another tool that I use, and I'm not paid to do this, another tool that I use is InsideTracker. |
| 1:47.5 | By taking a look inside at Biometrics, what I get is a clear landscape of the things that I can't see. |
| 1:53.6 | And that enables me with the action plan that's delivered via the team of scientists and experts, |
