## Resource

Seth Pepper is a former #1 Ranked Swimmer in the World, a USA National Champion and an American Record Holder.

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…
