The method
Every session has a reason. Every exercise has a padel outcome.
Padel performance coaching starts from what you want to do better on court, then works backwards through the physical, cognitive and mental factors that decide it.
- 01
Define
We start with a padel outcome, not a workout. A shot, a movement, a moment in the match: smash, víbora, first-step speed, reaction at the net, concentration late in a match, confidence on important points.
- 02
Assess
We look at the physical, movement, coordinative, cognitive and mental factors that plausibly sit underneath the goal — and establish a baseline we can measure against later.
- 03
Build
Strength, power, mobility, stability, acceleration, deceleration, change of direction and repeat-effort capacity — selected because your goal needs them, not because they fill a session.
- 04
Prime
Attention, reaction strategy, anticipation, decision-making, routines, emotional regulation, pressure management and confidence — trained deliberately, the same way physical qualities are.
- 05
Transfer & measure
Changes are transferred into padel-specific contexts and reviewed against the original goal. Milestones are set, measured and the plan evolves from what the evidence shows.

How sessions run
Two individual sessions a week.
Every session has a reason. Every exercise has a padel outcome.
Remote gym coaching
You go to your gym. The coach works with you live, remotely, through the session that your performance plan calls for.
Video performance coaching
A focused 1-to-1 session on the cognitive and mental side of your game: attention, routines, decision-making, pressure.
Padel-specific goals
Every session connects back to your development plan and the on-court outcome it exists to serve.
Progress reviews
Milestones are reviewed at set points. The plan changes when the evidence says it should.
Worked example
"I want a better smash."
- 01
Performance assessment
Baseline overhead mechanics, shoulder capacity, rotational output and lower-body force.
- 02
Rotational strength
Build the trunk and hip capacity that lets force travel from the ground into the racket.
- 03
Lower-body force production
Develop the jump and landing qualities behind a stable overhead position.
- 04
Shoulder stability
Prepare the shoulder for repeated high-velocity overhead work.
- 05
Power development
Convert new strength into fast, well-timed force.
- 06
Timing & coordination
Sequence the movement so the power arrives at contact, not before it.
- 07
Attention routine
A repeatable pre-shot routine so the smash is played with intent, not hope.
- 08
Confidence under pressure
Train the shot in conditions that resemble the moments it usually breaks down.
- 09
Reassessment
Re-measure against the baseline and adjust the plan.
The exact plan varies by athlete. This is an example, not a generic template.
