Episode 92: The Healthy Athlete - Coaching and Athlete Habits for Long-term Health
The recent New York Times piece on professional runner, Mary Cain, has spawned conversation, debate, and awareness of what it means to be a healthy athlete- and the coach’s vital role in the long-term development of this relationship.
.
In this week’s Purple Patch Podcast, Matt explores his idea and definition of “The Healthy Athlete” and shared commitment between the coach and the athlete to see this through.
.
Athlete health should always be the central component of long-term development in athletes of all levels. Yes, you can make short gains with unhealthy habits, but it is a slippery slope that will, no doubt, lead to trouble.
.
In this episode, Matt:
.
➡️Outlines optimal habits for both coaches and athletes for creating long-term health
➡️Lists the Top 10 Key habits that support a healthy career
➡️Defines what a good coach is in the context of real-life scenarios
.
At Purple Patch, we, of course, want you to achieve your performance goals, but not at the expense of health, work, and life performance.
