In a recent interview with Radio Marca, Gustavo Pratto, the coach of the world's number 1 pair Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia, shared interesting details about the organization and challenges of training these two players. According to Pratto, the balance between collective and individual work is essential to maintain a healthy and efficient dynamic.

“Individual work is important and less tiring”

Gustavo Pratto pointed out that it is sometimes better for players not to live in the same city in order to avoid “daily wear and tear”.

“Putting a pair together every day generates a certain amount of wear and tear. It’s even a good thing not to live in the same city. You have to organize training sessions together to refine certain aspects, but individual work is important and wears out less.”

This pragmatic approach allows each player to focus on specific aspects of their game while planning joint training sessions to refine tactical details.

Miami-based Arturo Coello: a strategic choice

Regarding the residence of Coello at Miami, Pratto said that this is no problem. The team has a well-oiled logistics system in place, which includes regular trips to the United States. Gustavo will spend about five weeks a year in the United States, and they have all the logistics planned until September.

“If we count the days Arturo spent in Europe in 2024, they probably don't reach 100.”

In 2024, Coello would have spent less than 100 days in Europe, showing that this mode of organization has in no way slowed down his progress or his performances on the circuit.

Millimeter-precise planning until September

With a well-structured schedule and planned internships, Gustavo Pratto is convinced that this formula allows Coello et Wall to continue to dominate the circuit while minimizing the risks of mental and physical exhaustion.

This approach reflects the growing importance of logistics management in a sport where the level of demand is constantly increasing. Through rigorous planning, Coello and Tapia continue to evolve as a dominant pair, while maintaining a healthy and efficient dynamic.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
