It is not enough to imitate a movement to learn padel.  Bilbao , the academy  Padel Stuff  claims a  progressive method  based on the  feeling , the  decomposition of blows  and  individualized support . In a recent video (Pedagogy in padel),  Andoni Bardasco  (formerly 25th in the world, Head Coach) and  Frederic Theulé  (educational engineering) detail an approach that places the player at the heart of learning.

From point A to point B: the need for a clear course

The teaching aims at a  observable progress  between the start and the end of the training: stabilize shots, read the game better, clarify intentions.  A student starts at point A and leaves at point B  ", summarizes Frédéric Theulé. This supposes a  constant monitoring  : observe, correct, adjust.

A pedagogy of gesture… and feeling

For Padel Stuff, padel is similar to a  manual trade  or  Music courses  : we learn by the  body . Imitation remains useful, but  inadequate  if the player does not  feels  not the position of the shoulders, the engagement of the legs, the  impact point . It's this  body memory  which anchors the gesture and allows its  reproduction in match .

A padel pedagogy centered on gestures padel stuff

Break it down to learn better

A shot is not taught "in one go". Each movement (forehand, backhand, volley,  tray , etc.) is  divided into phases And then  sub-elements  : shoulder orientation,  hip placement , wrist position, racket path. This  granularity  avoids sterile repetitions (hitting “50 straight punches” without understanding) and gives  direction  to the exercise:  quoi  make,  how to  do it and  Why .

Pleasure as a driving force for learning

«  We don't learn without pleasure  ", recalls Frédéric Theulé. Padel, by nature  playful. , facilitates this dynamic. The role of the coach:  structure  the session without breaking the desire. A trainee leaves with  technical skills  and the desire  fashion industry  to continue.

Individualized progression

Morphology, age, habits,  objectives:  : teaching adapt  to the profile. The  face-to-face internships  allow  immediate corrections , as close as possible to the player's sensations. The ambition is not to pile up technical “tricks”, but to  build a global understanding  Game.

Learn padel, at  Padel Stuff , returns to  to build  : of  point A  au  B-spot , from the first hesitant volley to the  fluid gesture The student plays a central role: “  It is he, in the end, who knows how to make the necessary efforts to improve himself.  " concludes Frédéric Theulé. A pedagogy  readable ,  progressive  et  incarnate  by feeling, where every step counts.
