Laurent Maistret (TV presenter) from Team Bleu Laura Clergue gave us a few minutes to tell us about the event of the All Star Remontada of the Betclic Remontada Padel.

Padel fan

I played tennis for fun and I have a friend who plays a lot of padel. He introduced me to the sport, in a club in Thiais. I always told myself that I would try padel. And once I tried padel, I was hooked right away!

I haven't had the opportunity to play tournaments yet, but I would love to. The first few times I played padel, I had a bit of trouble finding my place, whether I wanted to play on the right or the left. At first I didn't really care, it didn't really matter to me, but in reality I quickly understood that I was more comfortable on the right. We know that the tactician is often more on the right and the "showman" more on the left. But I like having both roles.

Improving your practice

I actively follow the sport on social networks, I watch and I also learn through tutorials to improve my technique and my position. I learned to understand the windows in the field, I try to be calm. We don't need to rush the ball and run in all directions. You just have to have a sense of direction, like in billiards, you anticipate where the ball is going to go. With practice and habit you learn to tame the windows.

Playing padel on set

I was on a shoot that just finished in Malaga, “The Apprentice Champions”, and as soon as we had a free moment or a day off we all went to play padel.

Want to play with Laura Clergue, her captain

I would like to talk more with Laura and play a few matches with her. When you play with a professional player like her and with her experience as a Canal + consultant… I am sure she would help me progress enormously. Don't hesitate to try padel, once you play you are fully into it, you can't stop!
