Mario in stage mode padel will look back on his adventure in Barcelona with the Oui Sport Spirit structure in Barcelona. How is his internship going? Exercises ? The clubs ? The players ? You will know everything!

Sunday: the first steps

The appointment had been given to us by Isabelle, the organizer of OSS Barcelona for a drink by the pool at 16:30 p.m. and a presentation of the week to come. Everyone is on time, we can't wait to start playing on the Spanish tracks.

The club is fabulous, everything is done here so that you have a good time on the slopes but also outside, with a restaurant and a very warm bar where you can eat by the pool.

All lunches will be taken together on site.

Du padel American style

A little sparkling water later, "the American" launches on 6 courts simultaneously. The principle is simple, we change partners and opponents every 30 minutes.

The Spaniards are there to do battle and we only stop for a few seconds at each change of sides to drink a little water. The games follow one another with a few players from the club's tennis academy who joined us, and we ended with an entire match lost 6/3 7/6 against Virgile Amiot and Richard Foussereau (two top 100 players French) present for the course. Small physical failure for my partner Angel, and myself, after 2h30 of padel.

"My dry relaxation is estimated at 2,5cms"

Defense and physical preparation

On the program tomorrow, work on the defense with collective training first of all then part physical preparation adapted to the padel. Video analysis is also on the morning program, the afternoon being devoted to matches with the application of the advice of our three Spanish coaches.

See you tomorrow for more!
