Prior to his role as director at the Hayt Center, Schroeder served as an assistant coach under former UNF coach John Brooks during the 2002-03 and 2003-04 seasons. Brooks recruited Schroeder to play for UNF, where he was a letterwinner from 1994-98, the team’s inaugural season at the NCAA Division I level.

As a junior, Schroeder won more than 20 tournaments before capturing his biggest career win as an amateur at the 1998 Oglethorpe Invitational in Savannah, Ga. Schroeder opened the event with a pair of 70s, before closing with a 71.
