In The Well-Built Triathlete, elite triathlon coach Matt Dixon reveals the approach he has used to turn age-group triathletes into elite professionals. Instead of focusing narrowly on training and workouts, Dixon reveals a more comprehensive approach that considers the whole athlete. Dixon details the four pillars of performance that form the foundation of his highly successful purplepatch fitness program, showing triathletes of all abilities how they can become well-built triathletes and perform better year after year. The Well-Built Triathlete gives equal weight to training and workouts, recovery and rest, daily nutrition, and functional strength. Dixon considers the demands of career and family and the ways different personality types prefer to approach training. The Well-Built Triathlete helps triathletes apply Dixon’s approach to their season and training plan. Chapters on swimming, cycling, and running explain the most effective ways to train for each. A purplepatch section shows how triathletes can peak their fitness for long streaks of high performance. Dixon’s holistic, whole-body approach to triathlon will help triathletes become greater than the sum of their workouts. By becoming better all-around athletes, well-built triathletes will train and race faster than ever.

From NBC News senior national politics reporter Matt Dixon, the wild inside story of how Donald Trump made a star of Ron DeSantis and then set out to destroy him, showing how their struggle for supremacy has turned Florida into the crucible of the new GOP—and of America's future.Ron DeSantis was struggling through Florida’s political wilderness when, in late 2017, Donald Trump extended his hand. Ambitious but charmless, DeSantis was a relatively obscure figure even within his own state’s Republication party, and an unlikely pick for the GOP’s gubernatorial nomination. But when Trump took to Twitter and praised him as “a brilliant young leader” and “a true FIGHTER,” everything changed—for DeSantis, for Florida, and for the country. Today, as Florida governor and a GOP presidential frontrunner, DeSantis sits within striking distance of the Oval Office, and his onetime benefactor has turned into his most formidable opponent. Florida, meanwhile, has mutated from the country’s biggest swing state into the stronghold of the extremist wing of the Republican party—a place where COVID denialism and culture-war antics have been battle-tested, and where the nation’s political future might just be forged. In Swamp Monsters , veteran Florida journalist and NBC News senior national politics reporter Matt Dixon pulls back the curtain on the titanic clash between a one-time kingmaker and a would-be king, showing how the battle between Trump and DeSantis has escalated, how it might end—and what it will mean for the country.
When illustrator Matt Dixon sits down to do some good girl art, he insists they have a bad attitude! The resulting masterworks are both powerful and empowering! These ladies are lovely AND lethal! Fresh and fun paintings of females in all walks of life (and undead) like vampires, warriors, demons, fairies, and even an assassin or two! An all-new over-sized collection, exquisitely reproduced!
Le opere di Matt Dixon suscitano immediata simpatia. Un sentimento di tenerezza si alterna al sorriso strappato, lo stupore alla famigliarità. Poi, un po’ alla volta, quella leggera impressione di ingenuità che trasmettono lascia il posto all’osservazione imposta da alcuni particolari. Dopo un po’ si intuisce che, nel complesso, quello che Dixon sembra mettere in scena sono dei classici archetipi e che spesso quei robottini... siamo noi.

"Essere un robot è difficile, lo sanno bene le creature di Dixon. Come noi hanno voglia di volare, giocare, esibirsi in bei ritratti, cimentarsi in grandi imprese, essere originali, magari unici, nelle piccole cose quotidiane... È difficile nel loro mondo, desolato e un po’ distrutto, tra problemi di comunicazione e assenza di riferimenti.... eppure, come noi, eccoli lì che ci provano. Età di lettura: da 6 anni."
