The Padel School Podcast

This episode we are speaking to Sam who competed for GB in both the junior team and now the senior team. He is one of the few players that started padel at a young age and trained outside of Spain throughout his junior years (and speaks English)!

Now Sam is based in Spain to train and compete, playing his best padel! 

We talk about how Sam started the game as a junior, the change moving from junior to senior game and what he recommends for juniors that are taking up the sport. If you are working with juniors or the parents of juniors that play, this will definitely be a good episode to listen to.

In this solo episode I cover one of the most important tactics in the game, which is how to take the net. There are 3 ways to effectively gain control of this attacking position and I discuss the advantages/disadvantages of each during a padel match.

This advice should be considered at every level of the game. Whether it is something you can immediately bring into your competitive padel or something to practice and work towards.

These related videos show you some of the concepts we talked about:
Two Types of Lob in Padel
The Chiquita (Ball to Feet)
