Season 3, Episode 2, Francisco Villaverde Reed (The Padel Company)

Minter is a unicorn! He is a multiple book author, used to be the leader of many divisions in L'Oreal and has been an avid padel fanatic since literally day 1.  It was an absolute pleasure to learn from him in the podcasting business as well as in life and I truly believe that just by talking to him I became a better person!   false

Wow, after a lengthy layoff, we are back! This is a really special episode for me, while I used to work in Wigmore Sports and I could interview Rohun Davda who's the owner and general manager of the prestigious outlet. Cuera just became one of their first padel brands they brought in, and it is a banger already! How did this came about and why did Ulrik realize that Wigmore Sports is the best store to get all the products in in London!     false  

In this episode, I had the privilege to host Pablo Carro, who is the co-founder and CCO of Playtomic! If you want some insight on how Playtomic works, and why this platform became the go-to in this industry, you better listen to this episode!   false

Recap on the Tarragona P1 is here! No surprises on either side, Coello and Tapia has won their 37th title together and Tapia has been absolutely lights out! Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay became the new world number ones on the ladies side, and they did it convincingly beating Paula Josemaria and Ari Sanchez in the final! Is Chingotto the real problem, or is it something else? Is Coki’s smash the weakest shot in the top10? Can Stupa call Cardona to play together because of Lebron’s behaviour? And many more topics we discussed in this late night episode of The Padel Podcast!   false

This week’s recap is about the P1 in Malaga, where nothing major happened… but is that the truth? Coello and Tapia won convincingly, but there were a lot of great battles and we have spoken about the usual suspects! Also, Tarragona P1 is close and the entry list looks packed! There are a lot of new faces, who are playing together and we were wondering on who might come out on top! And lastly we had a few statements which Tomi came up with and we spoke about them in depths. For example, is Augsburger the best smasher? Would Galan be better off without Chingotto? Will Yanguas and Nieto win a title this year? And many many more!   false

Robyn Duda is just an amazing event organizer, who happens to come up with the idea of the best racquet show in the world, namely RacquetX. I caught her in Barcelona during the Padel World Summit and we spoke about everything we could come up with in a quick chat! Please do check her out, she is a gem of a human being!   false

We sat down with Tomi again to discuss the happenings on the P2 which happened indoors in Bordeaux! We talk about the amazing Coello-Tapia pairing and how they conquered the French city, why we still think Coello is underrated and if Tapia would beat Chingalan with Lebron or not? Plenty of topics and we cannot wait to record the recap on Malaga!   false

Manu Martin as one of the most well-known coaches in the world has been again on the Padel World Summit and we had to interview him! He is a joy to listen to and a great coach with useful insight! Please follow him on instagram and Youtube! Trust me, it's worth it!   false

The Premier Padel season reached it's most exciting period and the players went to play in Coello's hometown! Lebron and Stupa beat Chingalan in the semi, and we talk about the many different interesting bits on what has happened on this P2, which feels definitely like a P1. Tune in for the ladies' part as well, while we settle the score on who we think the most iconic pairs are in both men's and women's game.   false

We sat down with Tomi to discuss what has happened during the second major of the year in Rome. There are a lot of great topics we have deep dived into. Tolito and Gonza, Galan, Augsburger, Paquito and all the stars are there. We have the episode out on the Youtube channel, so please check it out there as well!   false
