Matt Dixon is a world-class triathlon coach with a background as an elite swimmer and exercise physiologist. Matt is a former professional triathlete who is all too familiar with the highs and lows of athleticism. I have heard him describe himself as the example of doing a professional career very poorly, a heavy admittance that he has since used to his advantage to learn and grow. Matt has evolved into one of the most sought-after coaches in the world. He has seen great success in applying his methodology to guide athletes to the very top of triathlon. Matt is the founder of Purple Patch Fitness, an international community of coaches and athletes; he is the Purple Patch podcast host and author of The Well-Built Triathlete and Fast-Track Triathlete. We are excited to share our conversation with Matt because although his focus may appear to be athletic potential, it is ultimately about reaching human potential, which is something we believe we are all meant to realize in this life. Enjoy the show! In this episode, we discuss: - developing a coaching style that was against the grain - fit and fatigued = no ROI - the journey, not the goal, is what amplifies life - pillars of performance, education, and community thoughts - time-starved athlete - proper training hours for the context of your life - low expectations are not the same as no expectations We recognize our Patreon community for their support.

This week is a special episode for Purple Patch. It's our 50th episode! We launched in January 2018. and as we approach the end of the year, we thought it was a good time to take a step back and have a little review. Today, it's Matt's picks from some of the episodes of the last few months that are anchored and channeled on global life performance and reaching your potential via an athletic mindset.

In fact, it's a part of growth and you should lean into it. It is earned from hard work and the adaptions can be positive, but you must make smart decisions in managing your fatigue. In this segment, Matt provides context around “fatigue” - both anticipated vs. unanticipated-and discusses some of those objective and subjective markers of fatigue.  Taken from Episode 36 - A Championship Mindset Regardless of your "main event," you will arrive with the physical resources that you have, and you have to set yourself up with the best performance you can have on that day. In this episode, Matt outlines a few categories to help promote a positive mindset and enable you to free your body to do what it is prepared to do.

I wanted to get Laura on the show for a number of reasons. I met her through Stef Hanson of WITSUP, coincidently it was the day prior to her up rooting her life in Sydney and taking the plunge into a full time career as a professional athlete. I was certainly ignorant at the time as to what this meant for this random chick sitting across from me at a bar in St Kilda. Since then she has had a very successful career, and a stellar racing resume, her performance and experience continued to grow and all the pieces were coming together, but Laura faced an going challenge of often being the bridesmaid but never the bride. That was until Port Macquarie Ironman in 2017 where she became the Ironman Australia Womens Champion. It was emotional to watch Laura run down the finishing shoot and celebrate the years the culminated to that moment. Laura is coached by Matt Dixon, the author of the Well Built Triathlete and Fast Track Triathlete – with a focus on building the fundamentals of health, strength, and specific training for optimal performance Laura has been able to express her potential as quite a robust athlete and on todays show we get into some of the key aspects that enable her to perform at a high level with minimal injury or immunity issues. Laura has been very open on show about some her struggles and gets honest with those 1%ers that she focuses on. My hope is you come away with a greater perspective and understanding of who is Laura Siddall but also some key action steps you can take away to be a more robust athelte.

“Sleep isn’t sexy, but it is a performance enhancer, and the wise leverage it to their advantage.” - Dr. Chris Winter, MD Dubbed "The Sleep Whisperer" by Arianna Huffington, Dr. Chris Winter, MD, is the medical director of the Charlottesville Neurology and Sleep Medicine in Virginia and also one of the country's leading sleep researchers. When he is not seeing patients in his private clinic, he is often traveling across time zones to work with professional basketball, baseball, and hockey teams on the undeniable bond between sleep and performance. His new book, The Sleep Solution: Why Your Sleep Is Broken and How To Fix It will help you understand your own sleep issues and properly incorporate sleep and napping into your life. Skipping sleep shouldn’t be viewed as toughness or a badge of honor, but instead, a performance limiter.  In this conversation with Matt Dixon, Dr. Winter explains: The definitions of both good and poor sleep Why should you buy into sleep as performance enhancement The long-term repercussions of poor sleep habits And, How to set up an approach to sleep that works for you If you think quality sleep has no bearing on your performance in life or sport, think again. "Doing Well" and simply "Being Able to Do" are two different things. Both Matt and Dr. Winter want you to do well. In fact, they want you to be great and an optimized life includes quality sleep.

In this eye-opening episode, Matt goes one-on-one with one of his athletes, Sami Inkinen. Growing up on a farm in Finland, Sami was always intrigued by health, wellness, and athletic performance. He did ride his bike or cross-country ski to-and-from school most days, after all! He moved to the United States in 2003 to attend Stanford Business School, and it's there where he met his friend and business partner, Pete Flint, and, together, they founded Trulia, eventually turning it public. Today, he is the CEO and Founder of Virta Health, a company on a mission to reverse Type 2 Diabetes in 100 million people by 2025. It was a revelation about his own health that was the catalyst for this new mission. You see, even though Sami was and still is a top performer both in sport and life, he made the mistake that so many of us make: burning the candle at both ends. “In 2008,” he says, “I had a view that the more hours you train, the faster you become and the more hours you work, the more effective you are.” That way of life led to frequent bouts of flu and fever. Even worse, he recalls, he was forgetting common words and names. He didn’t realize at the time, but he was also on his way to becoming pre-diabetic. This way of life is a slippery slope for a high-performing athlete and CEO, which is why Purple Patch Fitness and the Matt Dixon “Pillars of Performance” were such a good fit for Inkinen. He put these philosophies into practice during his triathlon training and the results have been astonishing. Here are just a few of Sami’s achievements: Overall amateur champion at Wildflower Triathlon Long Course, Alcatraz and Hawaii 70.3 Age group world champion at the IRONMAN 70.3. distance Two sub-9 hour races at the IRONMAN World Championships in Kona Personal Best of 8:24 IRONMAN finish time Surely an athlete with these results must train upwards of 20-25 hours per week! Not in this case. Sami did this all on a recipe of 10-12 hours per week. How is this possible? Well, discipline and trust are two ingredients in this equation. Matt and Sami dive deep into training philosophies and they discuss what’s important to success and life, work, and sport including: Challenges while juggling work, life, and training The value of having a coach The key elements of setting up successful training on limited hours Tips for managing life and schedules each week Mistakes of aspirational and ambitious athletes Importance of adopting a “growth” mindset instead of “results” mindset His favorite free recovery tool Rapid fire questions on success Most recently, Sami and his wife chartered off on a record-breaking 45-day row from San Francisco to Hawaii that they chronicled together at FatChanceRow.org.  Ultimately, the goal of Sam’s success is one that we should all share: Creating Sustainable High Performance in all aspects of life. We hope you enjoy this high performance episode. To get a Sami sample training week, visit PurplePatchFitness.com.

  We hit the triathlon jackpot this with Coach Matt Dixon, Founder and Head Coach of Purplepatch Fitness! Dixon has worked with professional triathletes and champions like Tim Reed, Meredith Kessler, Jesse Thomas, Sarah Piampiano, Kevin Collington and many more! Do those names sound familiar? Of course they do because these are just some of the pros you see at the top of the podium at major races and World Championships.   So, yeah, this former professional athlete knows a thing or two about the sport of triathlon and producing high quality results. In his new book, "Fast Track Triathlete," Dixon offers his plan of attack for high performance in long-course triathlon—without sacrificing work or life. Developed for busy professionals with demanding schedules, the Fast-Track Triathlete program makes your PR possible in Ironman®, Ironman 70.3®, Rev3, and Challenge triathlon in about 10 hours a week. You simply don't have to bury yourself or commit "social suicide" to be a successful triathlete. We talk about planning your week, scaling workouts for travel and other interruptions, remaining flexible and being very HONEST about the time that you do have so that you don't compromise the other pillars of performance: Functional Strength, Recovery, Sleep and Nutrition. Triathlon should enhance your life, not inhibit it. Sound too good to be true? Take a listen and buy Matt's book today. It comes complete with training advice, race day guidance, functional strength workouts and sample training plans!
