The theme of today's column focuses on the external and internal factors affecting the sporting performance of any player who seems rather curious. The real essence of athletic performance is hard work and perseverance. However, there are other external factors that can increase the potential of each player.

What are the factors that increase sports performance?

We can divide these factors into two categories: internal factors (aspects that we can work on) and external factors (which we cannot control 100%).

Here are the internal factors of athletic performance:

The 4 basic pillars of sports performance that you will always find in different types of training:

  • The physical factor. Fitness work is an essential part of a player's success. This is the first aspect that players are looking to improve.

  • The technical factor. Learning all the moves of the padel is a must if you want to increase your performance in the field of padel.
  • The tactical factor. After being in good physical condition, good technique on most strokes at the padel, you have to know how to use it all. The tactical aspect needs to be worked more on by the players.
  • The psychological factor. Players are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of this aspect in their sporting performance. Today, there are real trainings for this factor, which has become essential.

In addition, we always add one more, because although we don't think about it all the time, our performance is greatly conditioned by this additional factor:

  • Power. Having a healthy lifestyle will allow you to feel better in your body, and it will return you to the field.

Here are the external factors of sports performance:

  • The schedule. We are not as good at the beginning as at the end of the day, after our day's work.
  • Weather. We perform better when the weather is sunny rather than when it's cold, and our body is struggling to heat up.
  • Facilities and the game environment also greatly influence our athletic performance. We will be better in the compound where we are used to play than elsewhere.

Family conditions will also influence our performance. In addition, the relationship we have with our partner, and with the coach will be important, because if we have already discussed it, we will have an influence on the performance.

Curious factors that increase sports performance:

  1. Share the passion for padel with others in your immediate environment. For example, the pair and friends also offer extra motivation. Every sporty illusion grows when it is shared with people with whom you have a special liking and connection.
  1. To be in love not only influences the sentimental happiness of the person, but also marks a turning point in the general life of the person. It is important to emphasize that falling in love is only one factor that increases sports performance when love is reciprocal.
  1. when no one feels good about his job, and in connection with her professional vocation, she feels happy and free from the worries of those who come to work as a burden. Having work that suits us has a direct impact on sports performance, because a person is no different in each area, but is the same in each of them.
  1. The start of a new experience like playing padel testifies to an illusion inherent in the novelty of the integration of a new routine in the personal life. The illusion of a professional veteran is stronger, but less intense than that of a young novice who loves everything new in his life.
