Welcome to the Purple Patch podcast! A few weeks ago, we began a special series on case studies of Purple Patch athletes. In this series, we share their stories and insights to help you learn how they have benefited from the Purple Patch methodology. Our goal is to help you understand how this methodology and mindset can facilitate better performance in your own life. Our first athlete in this series was Mike Kane. Mike initially focused solely on fitness, but with some guidance, shifted his perspective towards health and habits and unlocked effectiveness in his training and how he showed up as a leader. This week, we are excited to welcome two Purple Patch athletes, Jeff Lipschultz and Marcel Lopez. They both have inspiring stories to share about how they used sports to improve their lives, shift their perspectives, and achieve better results. Jeff's story is about his journey from a childhood that didn't include many sports to using sports to enrich his community. He talks about the lessons he learned from other athletes and how the squad mentality and global network of support have amplified all aspects of his life. Marcel's story centers on an evolution of approach and mindset. Obsessed with data, Marcel’s misguided approach inspired punishing training sessions and an unequal return on investment for his efforts. He discusses the change of perspective and the simple changes to his training habits that have yielded unexpected results. Jeff and Marcel's stories are compelling and offer valuable lessons to help you enhance your performance in sports or life and achieve better results in any endeavor you pursue.
