This is quite useful if you have trouble staying focused during matches. The coaches show you simple mental exercises to help improve your shot preparation and decision making. By focusing on the present moment and your own actions instead of just the ball, you can become more consistent. These exercises can help you feel more relaxed and enjoy your game more.
The TECHNIQUE to Stay FOCUSED in PADEL
Description
Today, we have a special guest: Jorge JimĂŠnez, a professional mental coach who has worked with top players, including World Padel Tour competitors and national teams at the Padel World Championship. Jorge specializes in integrating mental training into on-court performance, and he shares two key exercises to improve your focus and shot preparation.
đ§ Exercise 1: Naming Your Shots
By saying the name of the shot before hitting the ball (e.g., "forehand," "backhand," "lob"), you train your mind to make faster decisions and be more present in the game. This method helps you react quicker and improves shot accuracy.
đŻ Exercise 2: The "One-Two" Technique
In this drill, you say "one" during preparation and "two" at the moment of contact. This keeps your mind engaged in the shot mechanics rather than external distractions, leading to cleaner strokes and better consistency.
Mental training is just as important as physical practice! These techniques will help you stay calm under pressure, react faster, and improve your overall performance in padel.
