Paquito Navarro never fails to amuse his fans with his offbeat humorThis time it's on his account. Instagram that the Andalusian player shared three youthful mistakes that marked his beginnings in padel. And as always with Paquito, far from provoking criticism, these confidences rather raised a smile.

Mistakes that become advice

This is part of a collaboration with its sponsor Kia that Paquito revealed these anecdotes. In a video full of derision, he begins by explaining: “Sport is about making mistakes and learning.” A clear message for his followers, accompanied by a series of memories of his first steps on the padel courts.

First sin of youth: arriving at the last minute

Paquito frankly admits that when he was younger, he often came late for matchesHe even remembers those times when he would run so as not to miss the start of the matches. Today, he smiles as he says that now, thanks to his Kia car, he leaves early, takes the time to prepare and arrives déndduA little advertising wink that goes down rather well thanks to its naturalness.

Second mistake: not testing the track

For Paquito, it is impossible today to consider a tournament without having tested the field and ball beforehand. But in the past, he neglected this crucial detail: “What’s the wind like? The pressure of the ball? How does it bounce?” For him, these are essential parameters to consider when approaching a match. A habit that now helps him better adapt to the playing conditions.

Third confession: pre-game hamburgers

This is probably the funniest confession in this video: back in the day, Paquito could easily eat a hhamburger just before playing. He now recognizes that this bad habit was far from optimal: “If I eat a hamburger now before a game, I can't even move.”

Benjamin Dupouy

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
