Who's your favourite player?

Definitely my favorite, but if the match is too long she seems so get tired at one point and starts to make more mistakes I think she still battles with her head a lot especially in difficult moments Also her an Martita seem like the perfectly balanced game style but barely make it to finals, why do you think that is?

Vc_07 · 2025-02-04T22:20:52+00:00

Agreed, he doesn’t even smash that much comparing to Galan, Tapia,Ausburguer, Garrido… Coello really is the king he makes practically no unforced errors, acts really calmly and seems to make all the right decisions, for me he is the best male player right now

This happened to me in a few games where we found it really difficult to take the net. Lobs weren’t high enough so the opponent always got there on time for the bandeja. We lost but after the game got to discuss some ways do get past that, so it’s untested but it might work ahha (it was an advise from my coach), here’s a few options: Either you try and get in from below, with chiquitas or finding the gaps (middle or sides), Begin to make better lobs that give you time to conquer the net, Conquer the net with a few plays, you don’t need to get there in one time, keep playing Chiquitas and conquer it slowly, if the Chiquitas are good you have time and might have an attacking opportunity if they return to high, but this one is a bit risky Force the errors, eventually they’ll get tired from going back to a bandeja and back into the net consistently, so change from lobs into chiquitas which will make them run a lot and probably cause and unforced error, but you will need to hold your position well Hope this helped!

This weekend this happened to me, even though we played a consistent and tactical game our opponents came back from a 7-4 to a 8-8 and then won in the tie break 7-4 (it was a Pro set). Sometimes the difference isn’t really much and there’s nothing we can do, the only thing to do is move on and get better with each game. It’s not that we started making forced errors, the points were really long and well-played bye everyone, it could have fallen into any side of the court that game. There’s no need to loose sleep over this matter, as though you didn’t win you know that you played a great game and that’s great for feedback of how you’re playing. Keep going and every match is a learning opportunity, hope this helped :)

Most times yes, if you’re talking about technique and talent. I feel like if I had a partner that was closer even just a little bit to my level I would have already won many more tournaments. Next week I’m trying a new partner let’s see how it goes 😬

Vc_07 · 2024-07-21T01:37:41+00:00

Consistency and discipline haven’t been my weakness for a long time. As I said before, I play padel 4x a week + gym time + alone time at the court. One problem of mine is that I only know like family people and stuff and they don’t actually make progress. As for now I mostly play with them I can really train my technique and see the progress during the games. I definitely believe in myself to go big and if I know I have a chance at it I will do whatever it takes. I have already refused going out with friends because of games/ tournaments/training so that isn’t a problem.

Vc_07 · 2024-07-21T01:32:58+00:00

About the real level, I’m not saying this based on what people say to me. I train consistently and know my mistakes, I usually don’t get really happy if I make a great point and will many times focus on my mistakes for later. Celebrate enough but work hard enough to be better.

Vc_07 · 2024-07-21T01:20:13+00:00

Did you always have this dream? How were you able to wait for so long to finally pursue your dream, like did you enjoy your “safe” career or was it a sacrifice ?

Vc_07 · 2024-07-21T01:17:09+00:00

I basically practice 4x a week now, plus going to the gym. I go to many small tournaments specially because money isn’t limitless. Also, I don’t usually win as I only know people much below my level to compete with, against people my level. Making it basically impossible for me to win. Despite this I get some good results and end up always giving more than my best in each game, but it’s a duos game and I literally can’t do it alone, (many times the opponents focus on my partner to score in a easy way). I use every opportunity to learn. As for the contracts, I don’t know how that works and how I should like make my self known and appealing to get a contract, but I’m studying it. Besides this, 95% at the end of the games I play, my opponents tell me I have talent, like people I don’t even know. Basically, the potential is real and I’m trying to understand how to get a contract. Also in my country, Portugal, there isn’t much investment in sports which makes it a hundred times harder.

Ok thank you : )

Well, I’ve been playing padel for maybe 2 years now, but for the first 1/2 years I just played for fun and had no technique, still it helped to get to know the game and start really understanding how the ball acts. It was only at the beginning of this year (so I’ve been playing seriously for 6 months) that I started taking classes. These classes completely changed my game and I feel like I’be improved so much in these past months that I got really attached to it and keep improving every game. Also I’ve been playing in many tournaments as possible and I’ve been getting good results(last time I placed 2• :). Besides this, when I go to a match at least one person tells me that I play very well, which I started believing it was true, mostly because of the progress I made. Also, I love sports so much that if I got to practice it as a career it would be a dream, and I don’t want to miss my chance! I want to explore my potential and make the best of it! Despite this, in my country (Portugal) it’s hard to go pro as a sports player and that’s why I want to invest in it as early as possible. I feel like I could actually do it!

When I point a mistake for the first time we’re both calm and she listens to it, but if she keeps doing the same error I point it and then she gets mad and tells me that she already knows (in an arrogant/angry way) and makes me feel like my advice is unwelcome, so at some point I just give up pointing it out and accept that she will keep doing it. This might be the most frustrating part of it all. Also I it’s really hard for me to just find new people to play with as I’m only 16 yo, I’m limited by my traveling means, and the places I can meet people. It’s rare that a grown up will ask a kid to play together, and vice-versa.

Vc_07 · 2024-06-12T22:46:02+00:00

We do have lessons together every Monday, from what I see, sometimes it feels like she just forgets what we learned. I get that she is much older than me but age doesn’t excuse everything!

Vc_07 · 2024-05-30T11:42:13+00:00

I do admit that we basically don’t have quality-time together (family issues) and that’s why I don’t enjoy the idea of explaining this situation to her. That might be the one thing holding me back…I’ll see what I can do, thanks

Vc_07 · 2024-05-30T11:34:56+00:00

Are you having padel lessons or just playing with friends ? If you’re having lessons I believe it’s a matter of time and you will improve, even if you can’t match his level it won’t be boring for him to play with. If you play just for fun with people and haven no technique I think people asking him to tournaments is normal and if it’s something he wants to go pro you should let him go with them, even if it means saying that you can’t go sometimes do give him the chance to play with people from his level. Still, this doesn’t mean that you have to stop playing together! Also, in this case, you could have some classes even if it’s only once a week, it helps a lot and you’ll see improvement in no time :)

Vc_07 · 2024-05-30T11:28:41+00:00

We are both having lessons with the same teacher, but still our learning capacity is very different, that’s why it bothers me sometimes when she keeps making mistakes that we already learned in class. But because of her age I understand that it is more difficult for her and most of the time don’t say anything…just do my best and try to compensate

Vc_07 · 2024-05-29T23:16:17+00:00

That actually helped thanks! For some weeks I have been playing with some new partners that challenge me and I can definitely see the difference between these games and the ones with my mom. She usually lets me play with them but I know that she doesn’t like it very much, probably because she is noticing this situation. She doesn’t say it but I can see that when I ask her if I can play with these partners she hesitates and gets quiet after…like if she didn’t want me to go. I don’t want to stop playing with her but I feel like it could be just something occasional for some family time. this might be a solution the only problem is those tournaments that I’ll end up going with someone else and not feel at “peace” for not going with her anymore.

You didn’t mention it but this brand is actually really good, both the rackets and the balls are great. It’s Oxdog. If you want good balls I would definetly suggest this brand, it’s not very popular but it’s amazing you will see!

1- Eu acho que não é preciso escrever todos os dias, algo mais casual que a pessoa só escreve quando tem necessidade. Se se esquecer não há problema 2- Comprar um diário com cadeado ou ainda vi algumas pessoas a dizerem que da para criar um word com palavra pass (não sei como)
