Bojana was an absolute pleasure to have on the pod! She is smart, driven and just knows what it takes to be great in sports as well as to be exceptional in life! We talk about her connection to tennis, Novak Djokovic, Stef Bojic and Janko Tipsarevic and how she ended up as a professional padel player! She has an amazing follower base on Instagram as well as TikTok and she is a mindful content crea...

Fran is back, and he was worth the wait! We are joking, bantering and talking padel! We touch a bit on the new pairs, all his brands, which include Siux, Volt and 4ON as well as RS. He is definitely always welcome on the show, and he delivered as always!   false

Victoria Nicholas is a real multitasker! She is a gastroenterologist (which for the life of me I cannot pronounce) and as her hobby, she is one of the best padel players of the country!

Ethan has big plans, and training tirelessly to become the number 1 name in the UK and being as successful as can be in the world! Lovely guy, lovely chat, we need m...

You can sort of guess from her company, but Andi Neugarten-Maio absolutely LOVES padel! She was a great chat partner, while coming from a really strong tennis background, she found the unique love to another racket sport, which in our case is a revelation! Andi is based in Miami, so what better way to make yourself included in this unique space than to come up with a women's league, which will sta...

This one is a bit of a longer nerdy episode about the goat, the new pairs and the predictions for the masters final! I definitely think it's worth it to wait till the end!   false                

Another great episode with how a worldwide known brand was formed. Pedro Brito e Cunha established Volt Padel, and boy oh boy was it worth it. We talk about why Volt is different from all the other brands and we touch partly on the sponsorships as well.  Tune in!   false                                                                                      

Pasquale is back while Head came out with one of the most exciting things, which happened in padel since the Extreme One.  He is such a great person to chat to all things padel and we talk about the new Head innovations, the Libaak/Augsburger/Chozas controversy and why Head looks at the whole market a bit differently than everyone else!   false

Certainly a must listen to all fellow padelaholics!   false                            

This week we are staying with the padel apparel brands! Cuera is super special for me while Padel Shift's Jack Chaplin and Jack Hazlewood (great friends of the show) are sponsored by them, and I have known about the brand for quite some time. Ulrik reached out a few weeks ago and we instantly connected. I think it's fair to say that the Danes know how to create goods for the consumers. This is a m...

Pulco is a specialist padel apparel brand and Joe Middleton is the founder.  He has unbelievable knowledge on garments through his life long experience with clothing brands and what better way to utilize it than in the fastest growing sport in the world.

Pasquale joined Head, one of the main padel brands in the world, even before Padel started to make waves.  He is an unbelievably strong squash player, who is the current Swiss and German over 35 champion, and rightly so, he loves to compete! Whether it is in business or on a squash or padel court! If you want to hear how he spoke without languages during a lunch with Bela, or what is Arturo Coello...

The Padel Pod is an amazing weekly podcast which is talking about Premier Padel and the main players! Gonz and Hugo are just passionate about padel like no one else, and it helps a lot that both of them are bilingual (Spanish and English).  It was great to get to know them better and we chatted away about the new pairs and what they think which new pair will be the best.     undefined        

Ray has extensive knowledge of how to run a business, so he thought what better way to actually jump into a new business as to get into padel court building!

Listen to the episode to figure it out!   undefined              ...

This week I thought it would be useful to talk about the pair changes and what has happened lately in the padel world.  Yanguas-Stupaczuk, Di Nenno-Lebron, Paquito-Cardona and Alex Ruiz-Garrido are the new pairs I talk about in a bit more depth and also about the fastest final of the season and one of the best matches, which ended in a weird handshake, oh well, we all know Lebron now, don't we?  P...
