Can u make a video or reply about what u can train on when facing bad opponents. Lets say ur helping a new padel player out to fill a missing spot. Great video btw!
Mattias Ljung that’s actually a great question, loads of people I coach could benefit from this. I’ll make a video on it, but for now you can set yourself targets: - only lob off back glass - don’t hit aggressive overheads - try to volley passed service line every ball - try to finish point with volley to fence/Dropshot....these are just some examples, you can also do things that work on specific parts of your game. Hope that helps! :)
Isn't it quicker and easier to just say "one-one" for example (i.e. left opponent is close to net and right opponent is close to net) or "two-one" (left opponent is at the back and right opponent is at the net)?

We discussed this a bit my and my partner if it's better to describe the opponents positions (which seems to be more common) or if it’s better to give direct recommendations on where to hit. Our thoughts was that the later is more direct and doesn’t need interpretation. To compare if I hear “yours front” I need to think to know where to play. But if I get “lob right” I can just follow my partners command rather than think too much. What are your thoughts?
This is an interesting discussion point. I usually find it more successful the other way round that if you call the positions then your partner makes the shot decision. Because even as they are running back they are shaping up for a certain type of shot (before you have had the chance to say anything yet), which they can adapt if they know the player location. I think also calling the shot might only work for the lob, because if you were to say "hit down right" I don't know if you are telling me to hit medium speed to the right because they are back and we can take the net OR if you are saying hit down right to the spaces as they are in a normal position OR hit down right fast because they are close...also the ownership of that shot is then on you (the non-playing partner). I think calling the positions just takes a bit of practice and keeping it simple "both up", "both back", "yours back", "both close" etc. Once you get comfortable with it, you will find it much easier. But I do understand at the start it can get a bit confusing/complicated...
I would like to understand what the girls like Marta Ortega and Marrero or Ari Sanchez and Alejandra Salazar say when they are playing. I hear some spanish words but it's not clear. Subtitles would be interesting 😆. They are talking/shouting everytime during the game and this seems to be very important as they are the best girls.
PierreM BK they will be giving their partner detailed information about where their opponents are and what they’re doing...as there are many lobs and the points are long, that info is vital!
@@ThePadelSchool in fact I don't know if Ortega used to say to Marrero to play "atrás" i.e. playing deep to keep her opponent far away in a defensive position or if she is telling her that her opponent is "detrás" i.e. far away in a defensive position so if she is only telling her where her opponent is. I have the impression that sometimes her partner is telling her to play a certain type of shot instead of letting her choosing or just telling her the position of her opponent. What do you think about this?
PierreM BK this is a great question and some players might suggest a lob if they think that’s appropriate for example. But most of the time at the top level the communication covers where the opponents are and the players make the shot selection themselves...as players will have a preference of shot for themselves in certain situations...if that makes sense...
Excellent videos! So clearly and precisely described and taught. 🙏🙏
Thank you!! Happy to help 🙏🙏
Love these videos! Keep up the good work
Mikael Hansson thanks 🙏

Mattias Ljung just to clarify...what you can train (as a better player) playing with bad opponents? Or what a new player can train against them?
@@ThePadelSchool Yeah exactly. What I as a better player can learn or practice against worse opponents :)
