In 2020, while living in Mexico, Enrique Gracia discovered Padel and fell in love with the sport. It was not only incredibly fun but also a powerful tool for networking and community building.
Fast forward to early 2024—while on a family trip to Phoenix, AZ, Enrique and his wife wanted to play Padel but found only one court, and it was on private property. That’s when his wife asked, “What if we build a Padel club in the U.S.?” The idea instantly clicked. Seeing an incredible investment opportunity, Enrique dove into market research and assembled a team.
To bring the vision to life, he partnered with seasoned Padel club operators Liza Riefkohl and Gilberto Cañez. Liza, a former professional tennis and Padel player, owned two successful clubs, while Gilberto had built and operated four. With their combined expertise, the groundwork for Conquer Padel Club was laid. As Enrique spent more time in Arizona, he met Tom Konkowski, a financial expert and sports entrepreneur passionate about emerging sports like pickleball. Seeing the massive business potential of Padel, Tom joined as a partner. Soon after, they connected with Barry Falcon, a franchise industry veteran with over 30 years of experience in building and scaling brands. Recognizing the opportunity, Barry also became an equity partner, further strengthening the leadership team.
