On this occasion, the coach of Fede Quiles-Jordi Muñoz tells us about the great evolution that has experienced the figure of the coach in the last five years ... You should not miss it.
"For a very short time I began to exercise the role of coach of paddle and I realized the great change that this figure has had in the last five years, which is more or less the time that has passed since I stopped playing. professional way
In my stage as a player I had Miguel Sciorilli as the first coach, 20 years ago. His work consisted of a personal training, improving blows, positioning, but he did not go to the tournaments.
I remember that when playing with Juan Martín we did not have a strategy defined many times. Each one went out to make his game and thus the parties were won. I knew how to act to benefit the game of Juan Martin but, despite having won many games, today I realize that with a coach we could have gone further.
When I stopped competing about five years ago, even the figure of the coach was not as important as it is today. There were few couples who went to the tournaments with their coach.
The high level of competition and the greater professionalism of this sport have been decisive for the figure of the coach has more weight.
The role of the current coach begins by coordinating the entire work team, the physical trainer and the psychologist. Then plan the work week and, finally, focus on the competition.
In addition to the weekly training with the players, where the blows are improved, strategies are planned and the failures of the couple are analyzed, it should be noted that the coach spends several hours studying the possible rivals of the next tournament.
It is a great luck to be able to immediately count on all the matches on the World Pádel Tour channel on YouTube, which has become a fundamental tool for the work of the entire team. Thanks to this we can analyze play by play, detect faults that we do not appreciate live and study how rivals play.
I have been lucky to be on the track and with that I can understand the player better. You have to be very clear that the figure, the important piece of equipment is always the player. The coaches collaborate, but we do not win games. The stars are them.
