Welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. This new mini-series will reflect on over two decades of coaching top endurance athletes and executives. Join IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon as he’ll draw lessons from these individuals to help you achieve high performance in various aspects of life. These high-performance lessons will be integrated into monthly episodes over the next year.

The first episode focuses on Australian triathlete Sam Appleton, who exemplified the trait of controlling the controllable. Despite a challenging two weeks leading up to the 2018 Ironman 70.3 World Championships, including illness and a nagging Achilles injury, Sam maintained a positive mindset and executed his race strategy. He placed 6th overall, demonstrating the power of focusing on controllable factors for high performance. Dixon emphasizes that this mindset applies beyond sports, improving resilience and reducing anxiety in athletic and professional settings.
