What Makes A Good Padel Coach?
In this episode, Sandy and Tom discuss the qualities that make a great padel coach. Padel coaching has a unique set of challenges, with a growing sport that requires well-trained coaches to accommodate the influx of new players. Sandy highlights the importance of communication and organisation skills for effective coaching and emphasises the role of coach education in creating better coaches.
Sandy and Tom also touch on the different challenges faced by coaches who specialise in one-on-one coaching at the professional level compared to those coaching larger groups at the club level.
