From Educator to Entrepreneur: Tara Mack’s Journey to Empowering Athletes and Advocates

CLIENT SPOTLIGHT: Tara Mack aka "TMack"
What is your favorite part about this new chapter and owning businesses?
My favorite part of owning a business is leveraging the skills and knowledge I have from the decades of being a teacher, mentor, coach, and athlete. I didn’t initially realize that I had skills that transferred over to owning and building a business, and now I see that I do. In fact, we all do!
What is your favorite part about working with Anne at PFS?
Anne is a highly personable professional. From our first interaction, she completely put me at ease which can, at times, be difficult when discussing money or things that are new to us. Anne always takes the time to explain various options and approaches. She also asks great questions, listens, and creates the best, personalized plan for each of us. And she does it so naturally that it feels like a true partnership from the very first interaction. 
Please tell us a bit of detail about your businesses.
I’m a personal swim coach AND I leverage holistic, proven, and delicious nutrition and natural beauty products for athletes and other business owners who work with individuals on what I call “Aging into Awesome” at every age.
I coach individuals on how to improve their efficiency and speed in the water. Swimmers, triathletes, water polo players, anyone who participates in water-based sports can all benefit from 1:1 work. I use videos of my clients’ swimming and identify what each individual is doing specifically inside of his or her stroke. I then teach one to two skills to incorporate in the following two weeks, and we repeat the process about 3 times. In addition to this online coaching option, I am also offering in person swim instruction clinics this summer. *Note: this is not a learn to swim option. Dates and Details are coming soon!
I believe there is an athlete in all of us and focus on “Food as Fuel” to provide structure and best practices in overall health and longevity. Because nutrition is the source of our energy in life, I guide my athletes and clients on how to maximize performance and recovery, including on rest days. It’s Simple, Proven, and Natural AND gets shipped to our door with little to no food prep! Whoop Whoop!
What was your favorite part about working in education?
I loved working with the students!  Kids are brilliant, fun, and curious. I loved being able to bring the curiosity factor back into the classroom and tap back into our innate, inquisitive nature. I learn something every day and like to stay curious myself. It was a lot of work to create activities and learning environments that accommodated various learning styles, that is for sure, but the rewards always outweighed the efforts, and I am hopeful that I had a positive impact on at least some of my students and athletes along the way. They sure did for me!
