Podcasts about elite athletes

As we conclude celebrating five years of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, this Elite Athletes edition showcases the world-class performers who have redefined limits — mentally, physically, and professionally. These are the voices of champions who've trained in darkness, fought through failure, and built the mindset required to dominate on the world stage. In this episode, we go beyond trophies and titles to uncover the discipline, resilience, and psychological mastery that separates the best from everyone else. Whether it's breaking world records, surviving in isolation, or pushing through unimaginable pain, these athletes offer a window into what's possible when greatness becomes non-negotiable. This episode features: Mark Beaumont: On why risk, adventure, and clarity of purpose matter more than comfort or certainty. Colin O'Brady: On challenging the impossible — and growing through adversity, whether or not you succeed. David Goggins: On building belief by choosing suffering, and how pain can become your greatest teacher. Mat Fraser: On the compounding power of consistent habits — and how world champions optimize everything. Tim Grover: On letting go of civility, mastering your dark side, and doing what winning demands. If you want to understand what true grit, mental toughness, and elite-level focus really look like, this episode is your blueprint. ---- Show Notes: 00:00 – Introduction: Unlocking Peak Performance with Elite Athletes 02:05 – Mark Beaumont: Around the World in 194 Days 07:14 – The Power of Planning, Pain, and Perspective 11:21 – Colin O'Brady: Why “The Impossible First” Mattered 17:24 – From Burn Victim to Triathlon Champion 26:05 – Crossing Antarctica Alone: Breaking Mental and Physical Limits 29:06 – David Goggins: Creating an Alter Ego to Withstand the Unthinkable 41:46 – Mat Fraser: Building 1% Gains into Unstoppable Momentum 54:10 – Tim Grover: Winning Is Uncivilized — And That's the Point ---- Links & Resources: Mark Beaumont Colin O'Brady David Goggins Mat Fraser Tim Grover The Impossible First by Colin O'Brady Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins Never Finished by David Goggins Relentless by Tim Grover Winning by Tim Grover  ---- Do you love this podcast and want to see more game changing content?

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! On this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon, host of the Purple Patch Podcast, discusses the Win Cycle program, designed to help leaders and teams achieve consistent performance. He emphasizes the importance of "nailing the basics" for high performance, drawing from his experience coaching elite triathletes. Dixon highlights key habits, such as the "Sunday Special" for reflection and planning, consistent fueling after training, adequate sleep, and regular strength training. He criticizes performance trends lacking a scientific basis, such as blood type diets and bioresonance devices, and warns against the OMAD diet for its nutrient gaps and energy instability.

The problem with eating iron-rich foods or supplementing with traditional iron supplements is that iron is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb and utilize. In fact, only about 25% of dietary iron found in animal sources is absorbed while 17% or less of the iron from plant sources is absorbed. But MAS Iron has found a way to combat these absorption issues to ensure you can get the iron you need for health and performance.
