Jess Tamura writes and speaks about performance under pressure — the last five hundred metres of a race, and the equivalent moment in any hard project. A former Olympic-level rower, she is the author of four books, including The Last 500, and speaks to sports, corporate and school teams on request.
Jess Tamura writes about the part of a hard thing that decides it — the last five hundred metres of a two-thousand-metre race, and its equivalent everywhere else. Before writing, she raced at the highest level of competitive rowing, then spent years coaching teams through the exact moment where technique fails and something else has to take over. She is the author of four books on performance and team alignment, including Catch, Stroke Rate, Blister and, most recently, The Last 500. She speaks to sports, corporate and school teams on request, in keynote, workshop and virtual formats.
