You need support and guidance in your endeavors. You go find an expert who can help. And just like magic, the positive results simply begin to flow, right? Well...it's not quite that simple. Your perspective, mindset, and actions can determine whether your coaching relationship flounders -- or flourishes.... Ironically, many athletes have never learned HOW to be coached effectively. Today's episode aims to change that. Matt uses a series of case studies to illustrate how to optimize your relationship with leaders, mentors, and coaches in any endeavor so that you can truly develop, grow, and thrive. When you get it right, THAT is when the positive results flow. #purplepatchfitness #coaching #mentoring #leadership #triathloncoaching #triathlontraining #athlete

Our Squad athletes are absolutely crushing it. Jim Finlay just delivered a standout performance to win his AG at IRONMAN Cairns this weekend training entirely on the Squad program. This incredible result came just a few months after his first race on Squad, where he also took a podium spot at IRONMAN 70.3 Geelong.... Jim was inspired to train with Squad for his races by Alex Fuller, a fellow Squaddie who used the same training program to qualify for both the 2021 IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships.

Consistency doesn't mean blindly adhering to your training schedule, at the expense of everything else in your life.

How do you create training consistency in the context of your own busy life? Share your thoughts in the comments ... #purplepatchfitness #consistencyiskey #triathlontraining
