182 Put Your Performance Knowledge into Practice - When You Know Better, You Do Better

A defining component of Purple Patch Fitness is our highly distinct methodology and approach that frames a way of thinking and performance in both sport and life.

Most think about Purple Patch as building a strong platform of health, and assisting time-starved athletes to thrive within limited training hours, and a strong focus on supporting habits, such as nutrition, strength, and sleep.

The good news? So many have bought into this approach via our coaching and education resources, but there are still many who struggle to apply the acquired knowledge across several area including:

Post-Workout Fueling - many recognize that proper fueling is part of the performance puzzle, but it\\u2019s one of the things people fall down on consistently.

Going Easy on the Easy Days - Inherently, we know this is a key to progression, but that logic is often overridden by fear and motivation for great success

Strength Training - Again, while many appreciate the value of strength training to overall performance, it is often the first pillar to drop in lieu of chasing more hours.

We inherently know what to do, but we still don\'t do it. The same holds true for what we label, Postseason Training.

Matt shares the story of one of his athletes, John, who inherently ends his season frustrated at his performance plateaus. He finishes in the Fall and turns his back on any structured training for months, only to come back at the start of the year with a sense of urgency to "catch up" - leading to niggles, burnout, overtraining, and, subsequently, his frustration.

He knows that he should maintain some structure and strategic consistency, but still doesn\'t do it. Is this you? Are you either all-in or all-out?

Today, Matt outlines groundwork on how to be proactive in your performance journey. Yes, you can dial back your load, but still maintain consistency, enjoy your training more, reduce your risk for injuries, and continue to improve your performance, all while being smart and proactive.

Applying this common-sense knowledge will allow so much more success because, as Maya Angelou said, "When you know better, you do better."
