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.
