ZERO to HERO in PADEL - Ep.2 "Master the defence"

Description

Hi Padel Drivers!
Welcome to the second episode of this from ZERO to HERO in PADEL. In this video we will learn how to defend like Ale Galan and Juan Lebron! Pay attention to to Hugo Cases' exercises to improve our game from the back of the court.

We often focus too much on our bandeja, vibora and smash and we forget the most basic padel concept "always play one more ball than your opponent".

As you know, Hugo Cases used to be a World Padel Tour (WPT) player and he has deep experience in professional padel coaching. We are extremely grateful to have him in this project with us, since he is sharing all the tricks for success. Will we be able to challenge the best padel players in the UK and get a nice ranking in the LTA Padel tour?

We hope that you enjoy this new series as much as we do. Here you can find our social media in case you want to track our progress:
