Boris Becker burned out at 25. Former British No1 Jo Konta carried her family's sacrifice onto court every match and Irish tennise pr Conor Niland described a tennis player's self-worth as entirely tied to winning and losing — nothing else. Three players, the same problem: identity wrapped around results, the sport becoming something to survive.This week, in the run-up to Wimbledon, Jake and Damian go back into the archive to hear from all three — then hand over to leading performance coach, Ben Crowe, who has spent 30 years helping the world's best athletes solve exactly that problem.Ben has worked with athletes Ash Barty and Steph Gilmore coached NBA teams and the Australian Cricket Team, and comes personally recommended by Andre Agassi. You'll hear the full story of Ash Barty's French Open semifinal — 5-0 up and tightening, 3-0 down and laughing — and what shifted in her mind to turn it around. Plus Ben's central idea: the opposite of play is not work. It's fear. And most people, most of the time, are in the fear state without knowing it.Where the Light Gets In by Ben Crowe is available now.Revolut Business

Sir Gareth Southgate is England's most successful manager since 1966. Two finals, four tournaments and by the end, fans were throwing beer at him in the stadium.Today, as England embark on another World Cup journey, we revisit one of the most candid leadership conversations we've ever recorded. Gareth explains why he knew it was time to leave before the final was even played, what he said to his players before England's penalty shootouts, and how it took him 52 years to silence the voice in his head — the same voice that froze him in 1996.He also gets into the unglamorous reality of leading a high-profile team: how to protect players from outside noise when you can't protect yourself from it, why he banned himself from speaking first in staff meetings, and what it actually felt like to walk through the door as England manager and realise culture, not tactics, was the problem.Thanks to our partners: Revolut Business

Bjørn Mannsverk is the former F-16 fighter pilot who swapped combat missions for football kits to lead Bodø/Glimt on a historic rise. Under his guidance, the small Norwegian club achieved the impossible, dismantling giants like Manchester City, Inter Milan, and Atletico Madrid despite a stadium capacity of just 8,200.In this episode, Bjørn explains how he transformed the team by strictly banning the word "winning" and replacing it with a performance-driven culture built on "awareness training."

She opens up about masking her pain, learning to recognize her triggers, and trying to raise her daughter differently, with emotional safety and open conversation at the core. Topics covered include: Surviving major depression Suicide prevention and recovery Parenting with trauma awareness The long tail of childhood emotional neglect The importance of support systems and safe spaces   SEO Keywords: Mental health journey, depression survival story, suicide prevention, parenting with trauma, mental health awareness, generational trauma, triggers, healing from abuse, recovery, living with depression, emotional support, self-worth, 988 lifeline   Meet Our Guest: Emily Emily is a registered nurse, a survivor, and a mom raising her daughter with the emotional validation she never received as a child. Her mental health journey began at just 11 years old, when she first experienced the weight of emotional pain without words to explain it. Self-harm and isolation followed, eventually leading to two suicide attempts—one during her freshman year of college and another at 20 years old. Despite surviving those moments, Emily was met with silence and shame instead of support. She speaks candidly about being the only young person in a psychiatric unit, about nurses treating her with judgment instead of compassion, and about the decades-long work of learning to feel worthy of love. Her healing is ongoing. And she doesn't pretend otherwise. Emily also talks about being the child of young parents who were navigating their own recovery and mental health challenges—and how that shaped her understanding of love, trust, and emotional connection. Today, she's raising her daughter with intention, focusing on emotional safety, validating feelings, and breaking generational cycles. She's also working in healthcare, where she uses her lived experience to bring compassion and awareness into patient care. Her story is messy, raw, honest, and incredibly powerful. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmiewillyy/   Key Takeaways Healing is not linear. You can still struggle and still be healing—those truths can coexist. Emotional neglect leaves deep scars. Silence around mental health in childhood often echoes into adulthood. Showing up imperfectly is still powerful, especially for those we love.   Actionable Items Save the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in your phone—and share it with someone who might need it.

Today we are going to dismantle a myth - the myth that leadership is reserved for those with perceived backgrounds and clear past stories that fit neatly into little success templates.  If you're somebody that's ever felt alienated by the traditional leadership discourse, this episode is for you because of our guest and the unique background and insight she brings.  Our guest, Dr. Jesse Piper, is a living counterexample to the conventional leadership narrative. She was raised by her grandmother after a turbulent early childhood marked by her parents' struggle with substance abuse. And her story isn't about linear progression, but really a journey through complexity, adversity and resilience.  Jessie obtained her PhD in Family Science from Kansas State University. Her professional interests surround grandfamilies, early childhood development, family dynamics and relationships. She has been with her husband for just over a decade, built a new home, and has two small children. Jessie currently works for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment as the Bureau Director of Family Health where she provides leadership to improve and support children and family health across the lifespan.  In today's episode we cover everything from Jessie's professional opinions leadership to how she's dealt with the trauma in her life, including: The importance of acceptance in the recovery process (12:40 and throughout) How the way we define our identity affects our ability to deal with life transitions (16:10) The line between being someone's superior and their friend (31:55) The B.S advice to someone struggling to establish their relationship with themselves (42:15) How to connect with Dr. Jessie Piper: Email: Jessie.piper@ks.gov LinkedIn: Jessie Gardiner - Piper Referenced Resources: Quiz: What Drives You?  Our Newsletter - stay up to date on our newest resources and events, including our new Family & Relationships course!  We'd love to see you there!

Today's episode was brought to you by: BetterHelp - Therapy is a powerful tool for enhancing self awareness and understanding.

We all know that leadership and coaching can be incredibly fulfilling, but it can also be challenging. It can lead to compassion fatigue and moments where we feel overwhelmed trying to help so many people to the best of our ability. When you're constantly giving yourself to others, it's easy to forget you also need to take care of your own needs. Luckily BetterHelp is here to help.  Go to betterhelp.com/aoc today.
