The Padel Podcast

Nowadays it feels like Nikhil is everywhere!
He is part of the best tutoring platform of The Padel School, he became the ambassador for Padel India, he is number 3 in the GB rankings and just established the R3 Agency, which is giving expert management to the British and International padel players!
And he is just a humble lovely guy!
I caught him in Alicante where he is training for the moment for the FIP Rise tournaments and the results just keep on coming!
In my opinion, this was one of the most easy chats I had! 

George Modler is exactly what UK padel needs. 
He is young, enthusiastic and full of ideas! He is the founder of the Golden Point Padel Event series, which are tournaments for beginners to intermediate players and he also came up alongside his partner Ben Harris to establish The Padel Directory!
He is part of the 'Bristol Series' of us, Bristolians who fell in love with padel! Great lad, great chat, please do enjoy!

Andres recognized the niche in the United States to do an all-in-one management and booking software for racket sports a few years ago!
Since then it became the main platform for racket sports players across quite a few countries!
Their main focus is the club owner and they are doing everything they can to make the experience flawless! 
We touch on pickleball, tennis, padel and how's the current situation of padel in the US.

An ex coach, ex club manager, club owner and now plays pivotal roles in the Malaga Padel Summit (21-23 of May) and the International Padel Cluster!
He has great knowledge and insight in on several topics, like what padel needs to do to get into the Olympics and what to expect on this great convention which will be held in Malaga!
More than worth a listen for every padel lover!

Double header alert!
Geoff and Ryan from Novor wanted to come on the show quite a few months ago when their brand idea was more of an idea than anything else. Then (wisely), they said it might be a bit too early, but now since their actual launch, it was the right time to tell me about how to build up a completely new brand from scratch!
We talk about their product, what padel means to them and how this idea came about!
This is why you should go to Uni, you might meet your business pal later!

Padel holidays? Sign me up!
What does it take for a Swedish entrepreneur to build his own little Padel paradise in the island of Solta in Croatia! Well, a lot of planning, energy, money and will!
Tom is a padel enthusiast who thought the best way to make people fall in love with the sport even more is to build his holiday getaway called Padel Solta!
Exciting podcast as always and it's more than worth a listen!

This week I had Christoffer Granfelt, the founder of InstantPadel on the podcast, who makes padel accessible for the masses.
It is really important for him to point out that he wants padel to grow from grassroots up to the highest level. He is an entrepreneur from Sweden with a clear vision and his company, InstantPadel (which is in the transition of changing their name, we will explain why), came up with a brilliant idea that padel and pickleball (yes, pickleball), could be played on one court!
Great chat, worth a listen!

Philip Pereira is a real treat for you, podcast listeners!
He has been in padel longer than almost anyone I spoke to so far, and was great fun to have a conversation with! We talk about his past within the publishing industry and how much he can provide for the padel world and especially The Padel Summit in Malaga!
Please go and enjoy!

The GOAT is back! Pablo Garcia joined me to talk about sponsor changes in the off-season and what he thinks will happen this year on the women's tour and how the sponsor changes will plan out! 
He is an absolute gem of a person! Please take a listen!
