Tamara has been a part of our lives for many years as a student, and as a coach. Tamara is The Complete Combatant's Chief Operating Administrative Officer, Assistant Instructor, and is also a Range Safety Officer
You see, Tamara not only helps run their family business, Viking Alchemist Meadery, but she is in charge of events and HER "Bliss" Meade credo has been voted the BEST Mead in Georgia for the 5th time! Tamara is an excellent student AND coach because she KNOWS the amount of work you must put in if you want to achieve excellence. She KNOWS that it is NOT about the long hours, it is about the quality reps and being able to diagnose if changes need to be made to continue your forward progress. She KNOWS that asking questions and being "fully present" while practicing is the key to success.
Tamara is a valuable member to Team TCC for those reasons but there are so many more. She also believes in continuing education, communication, personal growth, and is willing to take that extra time with a newer student to make sure they are learning and comprehending what is expected of them when it comes to safety, fundamentals, and range rules.
Tamara's energy, infectious laugh, respectful direct approach, focus on safety, and her problem solving abilities just adds to our desire to have her on the range with us as often as her schedule will allow.
