Bio

My Story

Tina is dedicated to helping athletes worldwide navigate the complexities of college sports. A former professional tennis player, she represented Norway in the Federation Cup from 1996-1998 and later transitioned to semi-professional golf, bringing firsthand experience of what it takes to compete at the highest levels. On the WTA Tour, Tina reached a career-high doubles ranking of 223 and competed in the US Open Singles in 1994 and 1995. During her time at the University of Georgia, she was a key player in three NCAA National Team Championships, claimed the 1994 NCAA Doubles Championship, and earned the NCAA's #1 doubles ranking in 1995.

What sets Tina apart from other agents is her 11 years of experience as a head coach in Division 1 women’s tennis. Unlike many agents who focus solely on recruitment, Tina has an insider’s understanding of what college programs truly seek. She’s been on both sides—recruiting athletes as a coach and now guiding them through the college selection process. This gives her a rare ability to offer insights that go beyond the typical agent’s scope, ensuring athletes are prepared for the academic and athletic demands of college sports.

As the founder of Transition Coach 4 Athletes (TC4A), Tina helps athletes not only secure scholarships but also succeed in balancing academics with elite-level performance. Her global experience—from Norway to New York, and now in Denver and Melbourne—has allowed her to guide athletes worldwide toward their goals, both on and off the field.

Josefine Falster - Women's Tennis (University of South Florida)

I had a great experience with my agent Tina. She was always available and I could text/call whenever I wanted to. I got connected to a lot of different schools so that it was easier for me to compare the universities. I received very good help and guidance for visits in the us. Tina has a lot of different contacts, which made it easier for me to earn a good first impression. She knows a lot of schools which made it easier to choose which schools I wanted to focus on early in the process. Overall I had a great experience where I found the perfect school for me. I highly recommend Tina Samara as an agent.
