About Temarie
Performance has always been about more than the result.
For more than 20 years, I've experienced competitive swimming from nearly every angle—as an athlete, coach, recruiter, leader, and mentor.
I was a two-time All-American swimmer at the University of Alabama, where I later earned my MBA. My career has since taken me through mid-major and Power 5 Division I programs, club head coaching, recruiting and athlete development, and elite and professional swimming environments—including assisting in the coaching of Olympic champion Caeleb Dressel.
But the biggest lessons I've taken from high-performance sport haven't just been about training or results.
They've been about people.
What I Believe
High standards and humanity belong in the same room.
I've seen what happens when high-performance environments get this right—and what happens when they don't.
I believe we can challenge people, hold them accountable, pursue ambitious goals, and expect excellence while still creating trust, developing ownership, and caring for the person behind the performance.
That's why I created Tomley Performance: to explore the human side of high performance and turn what I've learned into writing, ideas, and practical tools for the people responsible for developing others.
