They have caused a great expectation. They are the most responsible for a test that is already beginning to be known as the '1600 Euros Tournament'. Next, we discover how a project was created that will come true from the next November 27.
Padel World Press .- Just a few days to start the EventPádel Premium Tournament, an ambitious appointment that will make the GET Indoor facilities become, once again, at the center of the eyes of all the fans of this sport ... And it is not very usual that an amateur event distributes important cash prizes.
One of the most responsible for this test is Rubén Galán. Professional with proven experience in the management of clubs and teams, as well as a Master in Project Managament and Agile Product by the IE Bussines School in Barcelona, he is in charge of the integral management of EventPádel and its different business areas. When explaining the origins of this idea, he emphasized: "We have observed the composition of the tournaments that are made by other similar companies and we wanted to do something different. It is true that the design of the event is more ambitious than usual but, of course, we want our letter of presentation to be of quality and, from that moment, people associate the name of EventPadel with service to the player and quality of the event " .
The other pillar of this project is Rodrigo Villacorta. Professional with a long career, former professional tennis player, has collaborated on similar projects and, therefore, provides a large dose of specific knowledge of paddle tennis. Monitor and trainer with a degree in both sports, he has worked in the start-up and development of academies such as SEK Villafranca de Tenis and Pádel respectively. Responsible for the training in EventPádel, he told us that it was what encouraged them to bet on this tournament: "We have always believed that going to a tournament and give you a prize that you will not use (like a shovel), or just what same as everyone else, it's nothing succulent. In our vision is that the best way to reward the effort of players, of legal age, of course, is an economic prize, which everyone takes advantage of in the best possible way. Since the prizes in almost any tournament are of this style, it makes it very striking. "
Challenged by the arduous task of obtaining sponsors, Rodrigo confirmed: "Obviously, achieving sponsorships is not a simple task. We have worked very hard on the design of the event for two months, visiting many companies. We must recognize that at the beginning it is not easy but, when you are working on the project and offer to participate in a tournament of these characteristics, almost all companies are more receptive. Keep in mind that paddle tennis is the sport with more growth at the amateur and federated level in recent years. By betting on quality, we also demand from our sponsors an adequate level, which makes the result even more difficult, but highly satisfactory.
At the time of threshing the philosophy of this EventPádel Premium, Rubén Galán said: "It is the same as we apply to our company. We have a motto: 'We help our clients to be stronger' and, to achieve this, we have three working baselines that are quality, service and professionalism. We believe that all this is reflected in this event. The bet is risky and the investment important but we are not afraid of the challenge because we think we offer what people expect when they decide to participate in a tournament. It is important that everyone knows that they try to match the tables as much as possible, we do not want players to play where they do not mark their ranking and only want to win the prize. Quality is this, dedicating time for each player to be comfortable both on and off the track.
With a view to the future
Ambitious and non-conformist, they are already working on their next challenges. Rodrigo himself told us: "This is the first important tournament but we are already working on other events of equal and even higher quality, which will each be directed to different sectors. We return to the starting point. We want to offer quality and, therefore, in our planning we always design what is closest to what the players want when participating. We are like a blank check. Clubs just have to tell us what they want and how they want it. EventPadel takes care of the rest.
Asked about the number of couples they expect to get, Rodrigo said: "We hope to get between 80 and 100 pairs ... And the response from fans of all levels is fantastic. Everyone has been excited about the idea and they still do not know many of the surprises we have prepared. We believe they will like it very much. We bet on the show and the work well done but, for the moment, until then I can read. "
And what led them to choose GET Indoor as their headquarters? In that sense, Rubén did not answer: "You see Oscar, in the end everything leads to the same answer. In our opinion, an event of this nature had to be carried out in the best possible scenario and, in the South Zone of Madrid, we are convinced that GET Indoor is the only place that meets all the requirements. In turn, we can only have words of gratitude to the attention they are offering and dedicating. We are very pleased with the choice we have made. "
To finish, Rubén wanted to encourage fans to participate in EventPádel Premium: "Regardless of the prizes, which is where people are the first thing to be fixed, we think that the details we have prepared, all the value added with which we have surrounded a tournament of this design together with the place where it is celebrated should not miss the opportunity. There are many more things than paddle matches. I can say that it will be a few days of a fantastic atmosphere, surrounded by players of all levels, sponsors and many professionals of the sector. There will also be many surprises but of course, we will have to be there to witness them. I would not want anyone to miss it for thinking that it is not a tournament for their level. There are categories for everyone and, in addition, sometimes what has value is not the prize but the attentions and details offered by a tournament totally different from the others. "
