Improve footwork and running technique for receiving Padel smashes.

What Your Guru Thinks
This lesson offers a unique perspective on improving your movement when receiving a smash. The coach compares the technique to how American football players run, which is quite insightful. It emphasizes keeping your eye on the ball and hitting it in front of you for better balance. Practicing the movement without the racket first, just focusing on the running and positioning, seems like a smart approach. Understanding this footwork can help you feel less tense and more controlled when dealing with overheads.
