In this episode, we shine a light on a crucial—but sometimes underappreciated—part of player development: drilling. While matchplay is fun and exciting, it’s focused, repetitive practice that builds the consistency, confidence, and control needed to truly level up your game.

We’ll explore why drilling is essential for mastering technique, reinforcing good habits, and making your shots reliable under pressure. Whether you're just starting out or aiming to compete, this episode will remind you that long-term improvement starts with purposeful practice.

🎾 Tune in to discover why drilling is the hidden engine behind every great padel player.

Sandy’s just returned from commentating at Premier Padel Buenos Aires for Red Bull TV, and he’s jumping straight into a chat with Tom about what they saw courtside at the highest level of the game.

Despite the pace, power, and athleticism on display, the same message kept coming through: the best players win by being patient, staying consistent, and waiting for the right moment to strike.

In this episode, they reflect on how those core principles apply to every level of padel—from the world stage to your local court—and how players can train with that mindset in mind.

🎾 Tune in for takeaways from Buenos Aires and timeless lessons for your own game.
