You are not just a padel. You have a personality, an experience, a background that makes you what you are. In this section, we have identified several types of players of padel. Certainly one or more of them looks like you. So which player are you?

A list of types of players from padel ? What's this ? will you tell me. Belong to a particular type of player, put me in a box and be listed? No way. This series of player types has been developed to make players aware of who they are and how they are seen on the pitch by their partners and opponents.

When reading this, do not change your personality, rather choose a partner that complements you ...

  • The old tennis player

This player starts on padel with great number of facilities and shows it. The problem is that its partners progress and learn the padel while the tennis player remains on his achievements. Come on guys, use your skills to be better and learn the moves you haven't mastered yet.

  • The motivated

No matter the outcome, the partner or the opponents, this player will always be satisfied because he sees the good side of things. The important thing for him is to have a good time on the field and to know new people.

  • The protagonist

It is necessary that it is him who writes the history being the main actor. He wants to play a lot of balls, hit harder than the others, finish the point in impossible positions ... and often it's him who makes the mistake.

  • Whoever takes the game

Often placed on the left side of the field, this player is the protagonist but makes few mistakes. He knows, wants to make his game profitable and plays all the balls and often shouting "Me me", pushing his partner against the side grids. To play with him you have to be zen and insightful.

  • Le prof

No matter what you do or the ball you play, you will be corrected by the teacher. We can accept his advice between points or during side changes, but his advice during the point, there is too much.

  • The one who apologizes all the time

"Excuse me" or "it's my fault" are the kind of comments these players use. Although it may be heavy in the long run, these players are generally very grateful and will always have a word to encourage you. They are often good partners.

  • The generous

The type of person who always has the heart on the hand, who will do everything for others. Reaching in advance to take the time to warm up, bring new balls, always have water pass, and even pay first tour are part of his qualities. He will never be stingy with compliments for the opponents.

  • Whoever complains

"Yes but ..." It's never his fault. He arrives late, it's because ... he makes a mistake, it's because ... he always has a good reason whereas all the other players know that it's because of his lack of technique or his lack of physics that he realizes direct faults.

  • The super defender

It is the player who runs everywhere, who is able to "rake" balls at the bottom of the field, who gets the smashes of the opponents in and out of the field, and who gives everything for his partner without ever wanting the laurels. Playing in front of him is exhausting.

  • The squirrel

He who calculates all the time to spend as little as possible. He arrives at the last minute and often starts the game without warming up, has forgotten his water or his pala, never comes with his own balls and even sometimes comes to play without money delaying the payment of the track to a next time .

Do you recognize these descriptions? If not, do not hesitate to tell us other types of players in comments.
