Through this communication I want to thank players and players, coaches, leaders and parents for letting me learn and work on what I love most: teaching in sports.
Through the years, we developed a concept that was not present in paddle tennis ... With many efforts, insistence and perseverance we were able to develop physical preparation in federated sport, give a place to the physical trainer and gain space and respect in what makes the organization of every international sporting event.
I lived moments that will remain forever in my sensations. I have images stored in my retinas that will be difficult to overcome and, above all, experiences and learning that bring my profession immeasurable wealth.
I was able to share moments with minor players who were starting their path in the National Team and also with the number 1 in the world ... I was able to participate in Absolute World Cups and also in local competitions in the interior of Argentina, traveling 36 hours by bus a World Cup or 12 by plane, sleeping in a hotel with few stars and being able to sleep at the Hilton in Calgary… But the most important thing is that everything I experienced with passion and professionalism, with the aim of educating from sports, from training professional paddle tennis physicist.
To finish, as a farewell to my charge of padel physical trainer of the Padel Argentino Association (APA) in these 14 years, only thank for allowing my curriculum to have so many achievements and my profession so many learnings.
Thank you players, coaches, leaders and parents.
Professor Gustavo Balquinta. "
