Padel World Press .- From Viper They told us about Luna, a five-year-old girl who, barely four months old, was already sleeping in the car while her mother returned to the paddle courts after the pregnancy. Nowadays, Claudia Montes Yanzón, her mother is in charge of a paddle tennis club in Las Palmas, she runs the commercial department of the snake firm in the Canary Islands and plays three times a week ... How could it be otherwise, little Luna is already learning his first blows.
As Claudia Montes said: "With good organization everything is possible. I've been playing paddle for more than 20 years and I'm going to keep doing it. What I took the least was leaving the competition with the birth of my daughter. When Luna was a year and a half old, I tried to compete again but I saw that it was complicated. In the end it is a question of priorities and of accommodating yourself to what there is. Competing is possible, but it is true that some yields fall. It is essential to have the support of your partner. "
For her part, Catalina is eight years old and from the three of them she travels with her mother, from headquarters to headquarters, through the World Paddle Tour Circuit. True example for many other women, Sabela Barciela she has managed to combine motherhood, work life, paddle practice and competition.
Your secret? The following: "The hardest thing is the day to day and not having time for you, but it's worth it. I get home and my daughter's smile can with everything. He already realizes the effort that his mother has to make every day. Three days a week I have to give eight hours of class to have two free afternoons and enjoy it. In the end, you are transmitting values, such as effort, that are very important for your training. When the competition starts, everything gets a bit complicated. When I travel and Catalina can not come with me we have video calls of more than an hour. I finish the tournament and I'm back, the car beatings are important, and more if you live in Vigo that is far from everything ".
Both Claudia and Barciela are very clear that motherhood can be combined with perfection with the practice of paddle even at the expense of "our own time." They also agreed that their daughters are very flexible and adapt to any circumstance; arriving at the conclusion that, in the end, "it is all about organization, to calculate the times well and forward".
