Avoid fixed body profile in padel ready position.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How should I position my body when waiting for a shot?
Maintain a balanced ready position that allows you to react to shots coming to either your forehand or backhand side, avoiding a fixed, sideways profile.

What Your Guru Thinks

This covers a really important point about how you wait for the ball. Many players adopt a profile too early, limiting their ability to react quickly. The coaches emphasize staying in a balanced ready position so you can cover shots on both sides effectively. It's a fundamental concept that applies whether you are at the back or at the net. Avoiding this mistake can greatly improve your reaction time and shot selection.
