IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon and Purple Patch Coach Max Gering discuss the ARC process: Assess, Reflect, and Check-in. This methodology is integral to the Purple Patch coaching model, emphasizing reflection to drive action and improve performance. They highlight the importance of understanding one's "why" and assessing progress objectively, both in training and life. The conversation underscores the need for intentionality in training, avoiding the "more is better" mindset, and the value of course correction. They also stress the significance of reflection in maintaining motivation, clarity, and commitment and encourage athletes to seek help when needed.
