"Honestly, I felt like the lesson really hit the mark, especially with how Fin emphasized the importance of consistency, which is something I’ve struggled with. Although I still have some technical adjustments to make, I left feeling more aware of my stance and movement on court. Still, I think with a bit more practice, I could definitely see noticeable progress. If you're aiming to fine-tune your game, it might be worth giving Fin a shot.

"Rick explained everything clearly and made the lesson both fun and engaging. He also did some really good drills that helped improve technique and build confidence on the court. Highly recommended!

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.
