On the Mark Golf Podcast

Seth Pepper is a former #1 Ranked Swimmer in the World, a USA National Champion and an American Record Holder.  With his swimming career behind him, Seth is now a Motivational and Keynote Speaker, and a Performance Coach.  He works with athletes of all sporting codes, including golfers to "Unlimit Their Potential."  He joins #OntheMark to help you to think like a pro as he dives into elements of Kobe Bryant's "Mamba Mentality." Seth maps out stories and anecdotes into a simple, applied performance playbook that translates cleanly to golf and high-pressure execution: The Kobe Archetype — A student of the game. Unconditional love from his family whether he scored he succeeded or failed, and how that freed Kob to fail and grow. Internal Drive — Bryant's “kill list” as personal motivation, and how the responsibility for obsession always lives with the athlete. The Mamba Mentality as a tool — How to create a performance persona. And the dsicipline of studying acting and characters to access different mind states on demand.  Seeking Separation and the Continuous Accumulation of Advantages — “Just keep getting better.” The compound effect of incremental gains over time. Kobe’s philosophy wasn't about a single "big break"; it was about the relentless accumulation of small advantages that eventually make him untouchable.  Deliberate Practice — A trait that Kobe and Tiger Woods shared. The art of living by “Don’t get Bored with the Bbasics.”  The Reset Weapon — Accepting the moment on its own terms to return to flow and presence.  Kobe's process for getting into The Flow State / The Zone. Prepare like a Scientist, Perform like an Artist — Separating analysis from execution. Playing with joy. Love and Greatness — At the highest level it is not about trophies, money, or fame.  It is about honing your craft and studying what you love. This is Seth Pepper's second appearance on the #OntheMark podcast and just like the first time, he delves into his extensive experience and research to help you to perform at your best under pressure.
