Dino Patane discovered pickleball more than six years ago after being invited to compete in a local tournament. He quickly developed a passion for pickleball and recognized its powerful ability to improve people's physical and mental well-being.
Now competing at the senior pro level and co-owner of the USLPL Texas Stars Senior Pro Pickleball Team, Dino brings a lifetime of athletic experience to the pickleball court, including backgrounds in racquetball and baseball. He is a strong believer in using focused drilling and video analysis to help players elevate their game. His training philosophy is simple: “Practice makes permanent, not perfect.”
Dino's career reflects his love of competition, servant leadership, and commitment to helping others reach their potential. When he is not competing in tournaments or traveling to grow his business, he enjoys spending time with family and friends and exploring the outdoors near his home in Montgomery, Texas.
Above all, Dino is the proud father of two children, Megan and Brent, and has been happily married to his wife, Ronda, for 34 years.
