Benoit Assadi Hillmann, Toulouse influencer and big winner of Koh-Lanta in 2016, was invited during the Cupra Final Masters Padel-Point Tour at 4PADEL Toulouse-Colomiers.
His discovery of padel
“I discovered padel with friends by watching videos on the internet and also thanks to the excitement of Toulouse, which benefits from its proximity to Spain. By playing football, we discovered padel and we loved it straight away.”
“Padel is a leisure activity”
“I play padel with friends on weekends and during the day when we have a bit of time. Padel is a more enjoyable sport because it is shared between 4 people. Unlike tennis, everyone can play quickly and have fun, we have more fun and have a good time, so I prefer playing padel.
My 4-year-old son already plays tennis, padel lessons start from the age of 6, from childhood we can put them in the bath of this sport. We will enroll him in the padel school so that he discovers this sport.”

“I am a very bad player, I hate losing”
Padel will remain fun for me because I am a very bad player and I think it is not a sport for bad players. You have to stay very calm, you have to be very zen. I think that putting myself in competition is bad for my health! Now, I am a father, I have to set an example, be very calm, so as a hobby, it is very good.
Passionate about Padel since 2018 with numerous experiences in communication and content creation, I want to share my passion with you through my writings.
