- When Jesse Phillips and Steve Bird won the K2 200m National Title in 2012, it marked the third consecutive title for the young paddler. The young West Australian pair took line honours 0.71 second ahead of Matthew Goble and Luke Morrison in a re-race after the initial race was declared invalid due to a faulty start.
- Phillips and Bird also took the K2 200m crown at the 2012 Oceania Championships, meaning the pair earned their first Olympic campaign berth. The win, just 0.24 seconds ahead of Queensland duo Matthew Urquhart and Joel Simpson was one of the most exciting finishes of the Championships.
- In 2010, Phillips and Bird took victory in the famous Liffey Descent Canoe Race, a 28km race held every year on the River Liffey in Ireland since 1960.
- Phillips is studying a Bachelor of Media at university. When he is not paddling or studying he is pursuing his love of acting and working in event management.
