Tomley Performance
Build a high-performing swim program where athletes and coaches can thrive.
Leadership development, culture consulting, recruiting guidance, and practical tools for coaches, athletes, and competitive swimming programs
What is Tomley Performance?
Performance doesn't happen in a vacuum.
Behind every result is a person—and behind every high-performing person or team is an environment shaping how they think, communicate, lead, respond to failure, and pursue excellence.
Tomley Performance explores the human side of high performance: leadership, culture, communication, athlete development, and the systems that help people perform sustainably.
I work with coaches, teams, and swimming organizations to improve communication, strengthen culture, and develop healthier high-performance environments.

From the Writing:
Ideas about leadership, culture & sustainable excellence.
I write about what I've learned from coaching, leading, competing, and working inside high-performance environments—and the questions I think we should be asking about how we develop people.
Why Most Performance Systems Burn Out the Very People They Rely On
Why burnout is a design problem — not a personal failure
How I Learned to Lead Through Conflict
The approach that helped me rebuild trust with an athlete — and what it taught me about difficult conversations.
Culture Is Not a Vibe: How High-Performance Environments Are Actually Built
Why the Storming to Norming transition determines whether culture survives.
Hi, I’m Temarie.
I'm a former Division I swimmer, collegiate coach, and performance leader with more than 20 years of experience inside competitive swimming.
I was a two-time All-American swimmer at the University of Alabama before moving into collegiate athletics, coaching, recruiting, and athlete development. My career has taken me through Power 5 and mid-major Division I programs and into pro swimming, giving me the opportunity to work with athletes at nearly every stage of the performance journey.
What has interested me most throughout that career isn't just what makes people perform—it's how we create environments that allow people to pursue excellence without losing the person in the process.
That's what I'm exploring through Tomley Performance.
