Bio

Coach Tami Wooden has been with ARC Football since our 07 season as one of our Strength and Conditioning Coaches. “Coach Jerry Haflich brought me on board in 07 because of my previous experience at the University level. I was so happy when Coach O decided to keep me on when he began as the new Head Football Coach! It’s been an honor and pleasure to learn from other coaches and to help coach these young men with student-athlete success strategies!”. Tami had coaching stints previously at University of the Pacific (Coach Chuck Shelton), New Mexico State University (Coach Tony Samuels), and Allen High School, Dallas, Texas. (Coach Todd Graham) 

She holds a BS in Exercise Physiology, (CSU Sacramento), MS in Educational Counseling (National University) and MA in Sport Science (University of the Pacific). Tami holds certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA-1992) as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and USA WeightLifting (Club Coach -1994), Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES-2015),National Academy of Sports Medicine and Precision Nutrition Level 1 Coach (2018). “Staying involved with continuing education in all areas of peak performance will always be important to me!” College Success for student-athletes, HCD 310, is a new class taught since 2017.

Tami first began as a teacher in 1990 as part-time faculty at ARC and other community colleges in the area in the Kinesiology/Athletics/Health Education departments. Tami’s passions of helping others achieve peak performance stems from her own athletic background as a 5 sports letter woman at Fairfield High School. Sports included fast-pitch Softball (CA state champions at 15 and represented the USA in Taiwan), Track, Basketball, Volleyball and Tennis and then chose Tennis at the University of Arkansas. Other athletic pursuits and passions have included bodybuilding, powerlifting, railroad handcar races and mini triathlons. I have tried to follow in the footsteps of my family of College-Athletes, Coaches, Teachers and caring souls. Let’s pay it forward!
