How to Stop Having Good Days and Bad Days on the Padel Court
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why do some days on the padel court feel great, while other days everything seems to go wrong?
In this episode, Sandy and Tom break down why recreational players can have such big fluctuations in their level and what you can do to build a more consistent base level.
They discuss:
🎾 Why your foundations are more important than individual shots
🎾 How footwork affects preparation, positioning and consistency
🎾 Why pros can rely on their “base level” when they aren't playing their best
🎾 How training off the court can improve what happens on it
🎾 Why trying to think about your footwork during a match can actually make things worse
🎾 How fixing an earlier part of the movement can improve your contact and technique
🎾 Why “little and often” training can make a big difference
The goal isn't to make sure you never have a bad day. It's to raise your minimum level so that even when you're not playing your best, you can still rely on your game.
Build the foundations, make them automatic, and give yourself a more consistent level to work from.
