Improving Padel footwork with basic techniques.
What Your Guru Thinks
Sandy offers some very useful tips on perhaps the most important aspect of Padel, your footwork. He explains the fundamental split step and how to keep your feet moving to get into the right position for every shot. This lesson covers the absolute basics which is essential for building a solid foundation for your game. Understanding these concepts will help you move more efficiently around the court.
Description
Good footwork is a crucial part of preparation and that all starts with the split step. Not doing a split step is probably the most common movement error for new players. This bounce on the toes initiates your explosive movement and helps you react to the oncoming ball.
About the Coach
"Almost every single lesson for new players usually involves the coach focusing on the correct footwork."
Sandy focused his attention from tennis to padel in 2010, learning the game with several trips and courses in Spain. His education in Sports Biomechanics, combined with playing and coaching at an international level (both in tennis and now padel) puts him in a great position to share his insights in the sport, hopefully helping others learn in the process.
