Why and how Padel can it make us so addicted? Who would have thought that this sport composed of walls, a carpet, and a net would become the fashionable sport on all continents for a few years. This sport drives us crazy. Between love and hate, focus on the madness of padel. 

Why do you like it Padel ?

Le Padel is a simple sport. We quickly understand the main rules of the game and in addition we have fun almost instantly.

This is THE MAGIC of this sport: Accessible and easy to understand. A bit like football certainly. The rules are relatively simple as football and it feels like knowing how to play as soon as you have the ball on your feet ...

In reality, this sport is paradoxical because it is not because we have fun that we know how to play. And the padel like football are sports which can be misleading at this level.

It is in this nuance that magic operates. Indeed, in the great disparity of levels, and as for many, the margin of progress is enormous, there is always something to improve.

In addition to a sport, we can associate it with a social phenomenon, private structures, clubs, teams, and competitions that make this sport so interesting. The diversity of the playing structures, and all the meetings which are linked to them, allows to unite the players of Padel. And, at the same time, this sport makes it possible to put everyone on an equal footing, whatever the social background.

The dark side of Padel

No everything is not rosy when you play Padel. There is always a hint of jealousy, when you are not called to play, but called your partner. A small dose of lies, when you train hard, but say you only play once a week. A few quirks, when you buy, and change racquets often to always have the latest news. Finally, there is always a little bit of infidelity from your pair when you change them.

Why such a relationship?

It is an authentic evolution made of love and hate. Why do you ever want to stop playing and sell all your stuff? While the next day, you just want to discuss the good feelings you have, and to debrief on your level of play of the day. The life of a pair of Padel is punctuated by highs (laughter, hugs, etc.) and lows (lack of motivation, disagreements, etc.).

At the professional level, we can simply observe the waltz of pairs that exists at World Padel Tour (especially for men for a few years), but we must not forget that they are professionals, always looking for improvements based on results, tournaments won, etc. They are not looking for the same thing as us, gamer, and mere mortal.

All of these details show us all that can drive us crazy in the Padel. To surpass ourselves, to get better, to train, to play with other people.

It is simply necessary to remember, that the Padel it's one of the easiest and funniest sports around. Obviously, there is perhaps or a lot a bias ...
