“Used to be a staple of my triathlon and fitness education and was a former PP athlete but I feel that podcasts as of late are just advertisements for becoming a PP athlete.”

“I was a big follower and also bought the books. However in the last year or so, this seems to have become a commercial platform pushing testing companies and other products. Has become a lot like Triathlon Taren (Motiv). Hopefully can come back from this…..”

“It is a must to keep any athlete balanced. I went from reading his book to listening to the podcast to being a part of the squad. I’ve been a triathlete for nearly 20 years, a coach and personal trainer since 2008 and continue to learn from Mr Dixon.”

“the Jungian thing, sir. Dixon is a sharp, intelligent well versed high performance coach. I enjoy his books and I wish him success. However, with his tone on this pod, it is a shame he did not choose to be an elementary teacher.”

Not many folks can chat solo for 45-60 minutes and keep an audience captivated week after week, but Matt Dixon does it routinely with ease.”
