They did not win a match in the group stages of this  P1000 from 4PADEL Orléans , but their simple presence at this high-level tournament already says something.  Jean-Pascal and Clément Brisson , father and son, have shared a common passion for several years: padel.

It all began  four years ago , at the time of the club's creation  Let Padel in Saint-Privé-Saint-Mesmin . Jean-Pascal, a great fan of racket sports, passed on to his son this taste for exchange, competition, but above all for the game. As he had already done previously for the  tennis , or even the  Football Padel came naturally to complement this relationship.

In their early days,  Clement , still young, played on the right, the position often entrusted to the smaller builds.  Jean-Pascal , for his part, has always held the right, an area a little less physically demanding, but which requires a lot of lucidity. Over time,  Clement has grown up and progressed , and took his place on the left, fully assuming his role as a more offensive player.

On the pitch, everyone found their place. The son  runs everywhere , defends energetically. The father, more calm,  makes few mistakes , brings stability. Together, they form a close-knit team, difficult to maneuver, especially in important moments.

Since their beginnings, they have  played around thirty tournaments together , won a  P100 at home , and are often well placed on the  P250 from the region . Apart from the scores, what stands out about them is the relationship.  No arguments on the track , some disagreements of course - between a father and his son, it's inevitable - but a lot of  Dialogue ,  debates ,  the sharing  after the matches.

 Clement , 15, is on the rise. He won the  regional title in U16  and prepares to participate in the  French Youth Championships  à  Aix en Provence , from August 19 to 23.  Jean-Pascal , he is 62 years old. Former player of  second series in tennis , he accompanies his son with passion, without seeking to shine, but always with desire.

And their complicity doesn't stop at padel. They both also play  golf , where they have already won competitions in  Scramble  at the golf course  Limère, near Orléans .

Their ranking (Jean-Pascal is  2972e , Clement  3762e ) is of little importance. What we remember is the desire to play together, to share moments, to progress, to laugh sometimes... and to continue this beautiful family adventure, racket in hand.
