About

I help players build the technique and tactical confidence to move from social rallies into real match play. Whether you are learning the game properly for the first time or trying to become more effective in competition, my sessions are designed to make improvement clear, measurable and repeatable.

A lot of players get stuck between "I can rally" and "I can actually win points under pressure". We work on the details that bridge that gap — cleaner contact, better positioning, smarter shot selection and more confidence in the moments that decide games.

I coach beginners who want strong foundations, intermediate players who want more consistency and structure, and competitive players preparing for leagues or tournaments. Sessions are tailored to how you learn, but always built around purposeful progress rather than just feeding balls.

Experience

88 years coaching

I have played competitive padel for 12 years and reached regional finalist level in 2022 and 2023. Before focusing fully on coaching, I competed regularly in club and regional events and served as club captain at South London Padel Club.
