Ep 317 Interview Sessions with Seth Pepper | Flow State Under Pressure: How the Greats Perform When It Matters Most
Episode 317
Wednesday, 14 January, 2026
In this episode, I welcome back Seth Pepper to the Always Better Than Yesterday podcast.Seth Pepper is a high-performance coach who works with elite athletes, coaches, and leaders to help them access flow state under pressure. A former world champion swimmer who came within a single stroke of making the Olympic team, Seth now works behind the scenes with world-class performers across multiple sports and world's leading organisations— supporting them to perform with presence, purpose, and freedom when it matters most.In this conversation, we explore:• Why love, not trophies or validation, is the common thread of the greats• The paradox of mastery: deep learning paired with being okay with not knowing• Seth’s three core elements of flow: ability, acceptance of unpredictability, and caring• Why pressure isn’t the enemy — pressure is proof you care• The difference between being the prince (seeking validation) and the king (taking responsibility)• How purpose unlocks performance beyond ego and outcome-dependence• Competition through a higher lens: team-first, purpose-first performance• Why “winning is unsatisfying” without meaning• Parenting and coaching young athletes without stealing their inner feedback loop• How returning to joy — being “10 years old again” — can change everything• The question that reframes performance entirely:“If you couldn’t lose… what would that look like?”Those with ears, let them hear.Always love,RyanConnect with SethWebsite: www.sethpepper.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SethPepper Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sethpepper Connect with Always Better Than YesterdayWebsite: https://abty.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alwaysbetterthanyesterdayuk/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/abty/Men’s Group: https://abty.co.uk/akiraJoin our mailing list: https://abty.co.uk/contactExplore coaching: https://abty.co.uk/coachingPlease email questions and reflections to: podcast@abty.co.uk#SethPepper #HighPerformance #HighPerformanceCoach #RememberWhoYouAre
