Defensive positioning: protect corner, invite middle attacks.

🏆 Your #1 Takeaway

How can I improve my defensive positioning in Padel?

Prioritize protecting your court corner to deter opponents from attacking there, making the middle court the preferred attack zone which is easier to defend.

What Your Guru Thinks

This explanation offers a great perspective on defensive positioning. The coach makes a compelling argument for protecting your corner first and foremost. By making the corners difficult to attack, you encourage opponents to play to the middle, which is often an easier area to defend. It's a smart tactical approach that can make your defensive game much stronger.
