Inside a Gabe Tardio Clinic: PickleGO, Facolos and a Singapore Crowd

PickleGO has put out two reels from its Gabe Tardio clinic in Singapore, a session billed as exclusive and held in collaboration with Facolos. One asks the people who trained with him what it was like. The other sits down with the Facolos SG team.

Learning From Gabe Tardio

The first reel, posted on 11 Oct, is built around one question: "What's it like learning from Gabe Tardio?" PickleGO caught up with participants after the clinic to ask what they picked up from Gabe and how it felt sharing the court with one of the best in the game.

The cover shows what the session looked like: a participant carrying a Facolos bag, someone signing an item, on-court coaching and Gabe speaking into a microphone. PickleGO closed the post by asking followers whether they would join a clinic with him.

A Chat With the Facolos Crew

The second reel, posted on 10 Oct, turns to the brand side. PickleGO talked to the Facolos SG team at the Gabe Tardio event about their thoughts on pickleball and what goes on behind the scenes, and invited followers to send in questions for Facolos.

Part of a Longer Gabe Tardio Run

The clinic reels are the latest in a string of Gabe posts from PickleGO. On 21 Sep it welcomed him to Singapore with a recap of a day that took in a 1 Point Slam, where players tried to take a point off him, and clinics. It credited @facolos.singapore, @asiabrandscollective and @theexperiencesfirm alongside itself for bringing the experience to life. Later reels followed him through local dishes, a "People Also Ask" round and pickleball hot takes.

Facolos is Tardio's paddle sponsor, according to Pickleball.com, which reported that the brand ran his Asia tour and that clinics in Singapore were on the schedule. Pickle361 followed the tour through Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines when it wrapped up in the Philippines.
