Fernando Belasteguin, known as "The Boss" and widely recognized as the best padel player of all time, reflected in an interview with Marca on the bad practices in teaching this sport. One of the most common mistakes, according to Belasteguín, is to prioritize advanced techniques such as finishing before mastering the essential fundamentals, such as the volley or the lob.
Fernando Belasteguin: «People have been led to believe that if you don't hit hard you don't know how to play padel and today kids want to start hitting hard instead of learning the basic strokes. And what keeps me playing at 45 years old is solidity. What was the big change for world No. 1s Juan Lebron and Ale Galán from 2020 to 2021? Being more solid, improving defensively»
At Padel World Press, we fully agree with Bela's words and believe that this is a topic that should not generate debate. An amateur player should first focus on mastering the basic strokes, as this is essential to understanding the game, progressing in your level and, above all, enjoying yourself while learning. Once you have reached a solid level, it will be time to define your playing style, whether it is more defensive or more offensive.
