Padel is a team sport. And many padel players come from tennis, which is an individual sport. This is a difference that seems small on paper, but is noticeable on the court.

Individuality is not above the team!

Ego and self-confidence are qualities that the best players must have. However, in high doses it can poison your teammate. humility Is it useful for padel players?

It is easy to criticize (even gently) the level of play of your partner. It also happens to comment on the level of play of the opponents.

On the other hand, in padel an individual is not above the team. By criticizing your partner, you will not get the best potential out of your teammate. You have to pay attention to him.

To deal with this situation, there is a simple but effective solution. Indeed, communication must be at the center of the duo of players. Communication on and off the pitch.

Communication falls into two phases: speaking and listening

Padel is not a dangerous sport. But it can be if the unspoken rules of good conduct on a court are not taken seriously.

First rule: do you speak! You will never be criticized on a court for speaking with your partner during the exchange.

In padel, in many situations, both partners can find themselves on the same ball at the same time. In the center, in the case of a right-handed/right-handed (or left-handed/left-handed) pair, there is generally priority for the left player, but this can sometimes be transgressed. Priority for the strong shot, yes, but here too there are many counter-examples. And sometimes, it is even very complicated to know who the ball is for.

That is why  dialogue in a team is very important . There may be rules specific to a pair.

The only result is the land!
