It's time to meet another of the young players who will defend Spain in the Xº World Junior Championship. From the Spanish Federation we are presented with a true star project, which this year has managed to be placed as 1 number of the Cadet Category.
Padel World Press .- Representative of the 'Andalusian school', timid and fan of Betis, Carlota is transformed as soon as she enters the track, where she moves with an incredible ease and where she has not stopped surprising us throughout a season in which she has chained one success after another.
For Carlota, as for most of her teammates, this will be the first time she will represent the Spanish team in a World Championship. "It's a pride. For an athlete, it's the greatest thing he can aspire to. "
In the national team will be not only with which he has been his partner throughout the season but also will be accompanied by many of his colleagues from the Andalusian National Team: "In the selection I will have my partner Marina, who is a super-extroverted girl, with which I get great both on and off the track. In addition, my teammates from Andalusia will also be there, especially Alba, with whom I have formed a partner in many championships. "
At the level of results, his season has been excellent ... And is that despite having fallen in the Championship of Spain ahead of time, the balance is very positive. "The campaign has been incredible. With the exception of the Spanish Championship, we have won almost everything. I would sign a season like this at 2016, without hesitation. "
The number 1 in Category Cadet combines his passion, the padel, with the studies. Still, he said that, at the moment, it is not so complicated to adapt to the rhythm of exams and homework. "Basically, I try to do only the days of training, that one is a tactician and two physicists, I almost always fulfill them. Also, I am a good student, which usually does not take me too long to prepare the exams. "
In 2014, Carlota played with Cristina Torrecilla. The change of partner has not only benefited her in sports, but also personally, because despite maintaining a good relationship with Cristina, Marina gets along very well. "The relationship with Cristina is normal, but with Marina from the first moment we understood each other on the track and outside of it, she is one of the best couples I could play with, she is very crazy (laughs)".
As it was possible to know, both players will separate their paths in 2016 due to the complications of communication, as Marina lives in Murcia and Carlota in Andalusia. "To come here, Marina has to take a bus that takes seven hours, which is complicated. In addition, next year we will be Junior of the first year, being one more season of transition. So I still do not know which partner I'll play with. "
Carlota is the type of player who always has victory between her eyebrows. That is something that, sometimes, plays tricks on him. “A weak point in my game is the desire to win. When I see him close, I am in a rush and I want to close the points quickly. Instead, my strong point is defense. At the club I'm at, attacking I don't know if I'll attack a lot, but defend ... for a while. Besides, it's what I like the most ”. To defend so well, she goes for a run whenever she can, a practice that relaxes her when she's overwhelmed. “Besides having to train because I play paddle tennis, I like to go running whenever I can, especially in summer. It's something that relaxes me ”.
On his next step in the World Juniors, he said: "My wish for Mexico is that I have a great time with the National Team as I have this year with the Andalusian National Team."
Among Carlota's hobbies, soccer stands out, with Real Betis as a basic pillar. How did you become a follower of the Verdiblanco team? “I joined Betis when I played with Magdalena, my first partner. His father drove us to compete, and the first day he told me that if he was not from Betis he would not ride in the car (laughs). So from there I am a follower ”. In addition to soccer, a sport in which he played midfielder, he plays tennis whenever he can. “I really like tennis, my sister competes and I always play with her or go to see her whenever I can. My father, my sister and my grandmother have also played in my family ”.
One step closer to the # MundialMenores2015 ... A date that we will be very aware of and in which the young promises of the national padel will make us vibrate with their magic and their talent.
