Luis
I have been playing golf since I was 9 years old and have won several tournaments over the years. I know how to have fun on the course but also understand the technical aspects and techniques that come with each part of the game. We will not only work on your swing but also mindset and how to think and make the right decisions while on the course. Let me help you drop some strokes.
"Coach Tate was patient attentive detailed and knowledgeable.
Tate
Ty Schowe’s coaching journey began somewhat by chance, but his competitive drive has shaped it into something much more. After years of private lessons with a top level tennis pro in Colorado, his natural teaching ability led him from a stressful college poker career to becoming a full-time teaching professional under one of the sport’s best mentors. His passion for competition, rooted in childhood hockey and soccer championships, instilled a deep appreciation for precision, discipline, and daily practice—principles he applied to coaching. He transformed youth high-performance programs, built elite junior training systems, and refined strategy and movement for players of all levels. Five years ago, he discovered pickleball and quickly saw the gaps in player development. Even advanced players lacked a true system for training, leaving critical skills like minimizing unforced errors, reading the court, and strengthening the mental game untapped. Now, on a mission to change that—he's bringing a structured, high-performance approach to the sport, helping players realize their full potential, and making winning feel almost unfair. With pickleball evolving, those who train with purpose are rising to the top— so there’s no better time to begin your growth.
"Lessons done today were serving, volley, smash, hitting balls the right way, backhand, forehand, kitchen rules, scoring, & footwork.
Ty
Competitive, high-energy pickleball coaching focused on real improvement. I work with players who genuinely want to level up their strategy, shot selection, positioning, consistency, and overall game IQ. Sessions are intense, detail-oriented, and workout-driven — designed to push you mentally and physically while building winning habits on the court.
"Awesome experience overall. Very patient, encouraging, and knowledgeable about strategy and technique. I already feel more confident during games after training with him.
