In this episode, Sandy and Tom rewind the clock to the very start of their padel journeys and share the biggest regrets they carry to this day. From not competing seriously enough in the early years, to overlooking key areas of development, to simply not knowing the pathways that now seem so obvious—they break down the choices that shaped (and sometimes slowed) their progress.

It’s an honest look at the lessons they wish they had learned earlier, with plenty of stories, reflections, and practical takeaways for players at every stage of the game. Whether you’re just picking up a racket or already deep into your padel journey, this conversation is packed with insights to help you sidestep common pitfalls, speed up your progress, and enjoy the game to its fullest.
