Purple Patch Podcast

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon hosts a roundtable discussion with three Purple Patch coaches—Brad Hunter, Nancy Clarke, and Max Gering—on race preparation. They discuss the importance of taper, emphasizing energy conservation and maintaining some intensity. They highlight the need for a structured approach to race week, including planning and reducing cognitive load. The conversation also covers mindset, the significance of defining success beyond just time, and the importance of staying present and managing emotions during races. They stress the value of post-race reflection to learn and grow, regardless of the outcome. The session underscores the team's collaborative approach to coaching and the individualized needs of athletes.
