In this episode, with Nick Williams, we discuss a coaching skill that many coaches do not consider as part of the core coaching characteristics. BUT it can be a major factor in what brings players back each week for lessons!

Many players struggle with a plateau in performance - it is inevitable when players do not have effective padel schedules with a good mix of training, matches and instruction.

In this episode with Tom and Sandy we discuss the ideal setup for players and what the focus should be during training. The level of the matches are important for improvement, but not only playing "better players".

Many of our members are getting the technical tips they need to improve their game through video analysis. It is part of our membership. If you haven't checked it out by now, visit: thepadelschool.com

In this episode we sit down with Nick Williams, Head of Coach Education for The Padel School, to discuss the transition from coaching tennis to padel.

The next generation of padel coaches will be made up of a large proportion of ex-tennis coaches. The sports are similar (while different) and so it makes sense many will come from tennis. But we discussed that as soon as coaches acknowledge there is a major difference between tennis and padel, they immediately get a better understanding of the game!

When it comes to the technique from tennis to padel, there can be some big changes and many that players do not consider from the beginning!
In this playlist we explain the major differences in terms of playing - Tennis to Padel Playlist

Our members have found it hugely beneficial to train with a ball machine. Here is how they use it:

1. Setup the ball machine to feed the shot they want to work on
2. Setup their camera/phone to film the shots
3. Upload the video to our member community
4. Receive feedback from Sandy, Tom and the TPS Coaches
5. Go back to the court to practice the advice

In this episode we discuss the value of training volume and why some parts of technique need to be trained with repetition.
We discuss what we like to use the ball machine for and why!

It was great to be a spectator at the recent World Padel Tour Masters Final in Barcelona this week. The way the WPT has developed over the last 10 years has been really impressive - including the organisation of the event, the brands, the awareness for the public and the level of the players!

Tom and I watched some amazing matches over the couple of days, spoke to some of the top players and just really enjoyed the atmosphere of the pinnacle of professional padel! If you watched any of the WPT Masters Final, let us know on one of our socials!
