Description:

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast!

In this episode, we’re discussing what it takes to perform at your best—not just in the moment but over the long term. Today’s topic is one that is often overlooked yet absolutely essential for sustained high performance: reflection. Whether you're an athlete aiming for an IRONMAN podium or a business leader managing high-stakes projects, reflection is a crucial component of the high-performance machine. It connects important traits such as adaptability, coachability, resilience, and the ability to prioritize what drives results. You might be working hard, but without reflection, you’re not necessarily working smart or focusing your efforts where they will drive you toward your goals.

IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon emphasizes that reflection helps identify what works and what doesn't, ensuring continuous improvement rather than just short-term success. Dixon uses the example of Jesse Thomas, an athlete who won six consecutive Wildflower Triathlons but sometimes performed poorly despite winning. He also shares a business case where an executive's project failed, but reflection helped identify areas for improvement. Dixon concludes that reflection is crucial for adaptability, resilience, and long-term growth, urging listeners to incorporate it into their routines.
