Should Tennis Players Go All In on Padel? The Honest Truth
In this episode, Sandy and Tom tackle one of the biggest questions tennis players ask when they discover padel: should you play both… or is it time to go all in?
Drawing from their own journeys — from Sandy switching overnight to Tom juggling pro tennis with Friday-night “pizza, beers and padel” sessions — they break down why dabbling only takes you so far, why the two sports aren’t as complementary as people think, and the common pitfalls tennis players hit when transitioning to padel.
They also dive into why match-only players plateau, why drills matter more than you realise, and how to avoid the early mistakes both of them made. Whether you're a tennis lover just trying padel, a club player chasing improvement, or someone thinking about competing seriously, this episode gives you the roadmap to commit with confidence.
