Ty Schowe profile
About Ty

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.

What students say...

"Lessons done today were serving, volley, smash, hitting balls the right way, backhand, forehand, kitchen rules, scoring, & footwork.

The lesson with Ty was quite helpful, especially in refining my shot placement and overall strategy. Though I still have some work to do, I feel more confident on the court now and appreciate his straightforward advice. Still, I hope future lessons can focus more on consistency since that's an area I struggle with. If you're looking to sharpen specific skills, you might find Ty's lesson worth trying.
