Hello and welcome back to the Tim Ferriss Show. Today’s guest is Jake Kaminski, two-time Olympic silver medalist in archery and longtime member of the US Archery Team. After more than a decade on the world stage, Jake joins us to share behind-the-scenes stories like coaching me through my first archery session, archery’s lessons on high performance, and how to excel under pressure.

Jake walks us through his relentless practice routine—“I’m well over a million shots the same way—same technique, same thought process, same thought at full draw. Sustained effort is what really makes you good,” he says. He explains why practice scores don’t matter and how training hard makes competition feel easy. “Ultimately, nobody’s going to prevent you from succeeding or failing except for yourself,” Jake reminds us, encouraging us to stay composed and trust our preparation.

Stick around as we explore the art of repetition, mental toughness, and precision that turned arrows into Olympic medals.
