Focus on keeping the motion compact, preparing the racket by moving it upwards first, and thinking of "receiving and passing" the ball rather than hitting it forcefully.
This covers a very important concept for anyone starting out with padel. The coach makes a great point about keeping your technique compact, which is key in padel compared to other racket sports. Learning the overhead preparation by going up first rather than far back is a practical tip. It's all about simplifying the motion initially so you can make consistent contact. Thinking about "receiving and passing" the ball is a helpful analogy for beginners learning this shot.
