Meet The Directors

TAMARA MOORE

Moore, who as Tamara Rogers helped Milford Mill win a state championship in 2005, learned a lot during her college career about the struggles some players faced while pursuing professional careers in the WNBA or overseas. She founded the Baltimore Cougars Legends program in 2013 to smooth that process for players who weren’t getting drafted out of college.

Her mission is to train players for overseas leagues, help them get started in their careers and navigate problems that arise over there, and help veteran players get better contracts. With help from her sister and many others, she provides the physical and skills training needed to compete in the pro leagues and helps recruits build the resumes scouts are looking for. She also gives advice about what it’s like to play in a foreign country: Do they need an agent? How will they get around? How do they navigate the language? What if they have children?
