Le padel is a separate discipline. Indeed, psychology and relationships between partners hold a prominent place. It's a sport that also allows us to get to know each other better. And the contribution of an outside eye can make the difference when one wishes to evolve well in this sport.

Do I tend to overestimate myself? To underestimate me?

Most often, we observe that we have a tendency to overestimate ourselves. The clubs, the coaches et softwares may try to make relations between players more fluid, the miracle recipe does not exist for the moment.

Why does he call himself level 8 when he is actually level 6? How did he end up level 9, when he is unable to hold a trade?

All clubs are faced with this problem of levels. Self-evolution can work, but we're fallible and sometimes (often?) not really lucid, even if it's hard to admit it.

The answer lies in the eyes of your partners

The answer, you will not always find it by yourself but by the relationships you will have with your partners or those around you.

If some players don't want to play with you, it's because you may have an insufficient level of play. Yes, it's hard to admit it, and it's not always your partner's fault, even if you strongly believe it.

That there are slight differences in levels is one thing. But sometimes the gaps are so big that they clearly unbalance a game, even though it is often thought that everyone can play with everyone else.

“Lack of clarity”

How many times have we heard “this player is not at all lucid”? But the question is: who really is?

Sometimes some players say “I didn't hit a ball” when they actually hit the majority of the balls. And this scenario happens regularly.

It is clear that judgment and outside input are very important in padel because it allows players to know their level better, to evolve better and to learn from their mistakes.
