"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.

With 16 years experience in piano instruction, I cultivate musical passion in students of all ages, but have mainly worked with children ages 3 -14 years old. My tailored approach blends technique with artistry, unlocking each student's unique potential. Aside from my 25+ years playing the piano, I also am studying the steel tongue drum, fipple flute, & ukelele.

Raised amidst the picturesque landscapes of Sweden, I embarked on my golfing odyssey at the age of six, laying the foundation for a lifelong passion. Earning a coveted scholarship to UC Davis in California, I further honed my skills on the collegiate circuit, blending academic pursuits with a love for the game. From the age of 17, I've shared my expertise as a golf instructor intermittently, cultivating a deep understanding of the sport while nurturing aspiring talents. With a penchant for power and precision, my trusty driver remains my favorite tool, propelling me towards new heights on the fairway.

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.

"He was a great coach. I play for long reach high school soccer. Last year our team was 0-11 and didn’t score 1 point all year, this year with coach looney we were 6-6 and made it to the regional championships of playoffs. He could always get he hyped and we’d have good, fun practices.
