Play at padel is a learning which implies a progressive evolution However, the rhythm does not always depend on oneself. There are times when a player is at a crossroads knowing that their results are not what they expected. In this case, it is important to take these results into account in order to deal with the problem objectively, while understanding that there are possibilities for change.

 

  1. First, analyze things as they are, not as you would like them to be. There are players who have very little objectivity when it comes to assessing their level, and their abilities. Knowing your starting point is the only way to truly evolve.

 

  1. Enhance your level of play without comparing yourself with anyone other than yourself. That is to say, analyze whether you have stagnated or on the contrary, you have had an ascending progression. Not moving as fast as you want does not mean you have not moved forward.

 

  1. Learn to tell the difference between what depends on you and what is not, and focus on that part that is out of your control.

 

  1. Analyze your strengths, and the resources you have to deal with the situation with a positive outlook.

 

  1. Similarly, to get an overview of your current level of play, it is important that you analyze not only your strengths, but also your Achilles heel, and the obstacles you encounter in your path.

 

  1. When the results do not meet your expectations, you have two options, get angry, and stay stuck at that point or take the situation in hindsight and move on. Take obstacles as a challenge, not as an impassable wall.

 

  1. Take the time to train, and perfect your technique with perseverance, enthusiasm and willingness.
