What does patience really mean in padel?

In this episode, Sandy and Tom break down why the mindset that works in tennis often fails in padel — especially in tight moments. From rally length and risk vs reward, to active vs passive patience, they explain how top players build points, manage pressure, and make better decisions under stress.

You’ll learn why patience isn’t about pushing the ball in, how the lob becomes an anchor shot at every level, and how patience applies not just within points — but across matches and your entire padel journey.

If you want to win more points without forcing, this episode is for you.
