@diegmunoz Gracias por la respuesta

@diegmunoz tenemos alguna estadística o estudio que haya monitorizado cuantos metros los jugadores caminan o corren hacía atrás en padel?

The knowledge of coaching is endless; it's an open-ended goal. If you feel like you've learned everything or that someday you'll know everything, I advise you to start considering changing your career.

@Point1_Athletic @JobFran3 @KyleJMBennett Chris I would like to follow your content on Instagram, can I know your name on IG?

@eco_hoops How these guys talk about ecological dynamics and how you talk about their arguments is not helping anybody. I think we should be careful when we are sure about something as complex as this. For every document that confirms our belief, read two that go against those beliefs.

[Finspadel Akatemia @Finspadel]

@eco_hoops Listening to people with different perspectives is very positive. The majority of people I know who are very into CLA just read about it, confirming their beliefs. The problem I see is that this has become a fight.

The bucket can be a good training tool or becomes a generator of frustrated players when they expect they will hit the ball in matches as they do in trainings when they receive it predictably and in a series from the coach.

[Finspadel Akatemia @Finspadel]

The things you learn by yourself (implicitly) are remembered much better than those taught by a third party: riding a bike, doing a handstand, running, writing…

[Finspadel Akatemia @Finspadel]

This kind of feedback I would like to hear from my players: 'Wow, my coach is so good´ `but why? 'I feel like we are training the right things, while she is letting us play and find our unique ways, only giving feedback when really necessary. It's a lot of fun!

[Finspadel Akatemia @Finspadel]

The mechanistic approach that coaches still have makes us think that to achieve the expected results, all players should train in the same way, same things and the same number of times. Players are not robots.

[Finspadel Akatemia @Finspadel]

The moment 'experts' enter the sport and aim to make it highly competitive, the problems begin. Players can become more frustrated, more mechanical, and less happy on the court

[Finspadel Akatemia @Finspadel]

The preparation before a training session is underrated: starting your activation routine, visualizing how you want to perform during the game and what you'd like to focus on... these things can make a difference.

[Finspadel Akatemia @Finspadel]

We're not saying that using the bucket is wrong. We understand that the bucket should have a clear purpose beyond making the player hit ball after ball as if they were a robot.

[Finspadel Akatemia @Finspadel]

We are hindering the development of the sport when kids come to try padel and coaches put them in lines making them wait. They end up spending more time talking with their partner than playing padel.

[Finspadel Akatemia @Finspadel]

Just because you've given few instructions to the player and she made the shot, it doesn't mean that those instructions made it happen. Probably, with less than half of the instructions, she would have achieved it as well. Correlation does not imply causation.

[Finspadel Akatemia @Finspadel]

Knowing Lebron, Galán or Javi Leal I come up to the conclusion that the best padel players aren't necessarily there because of their coaches; the main factor for reaching that level has been their dedication and pure luck with the context they have grown up.

[Finspadel Akatemia @Finspadel]

@coachsabre My is point is that we want to embrace complexity but then we make it too simple, we move because how we perceive the environment…too simple.

[Finspadel Akatemia @Finspadel]

@coachsabre But you said that my movement is determined by the environment, so if I have in an environment with two pathways, one of them with few dogs and the other with not dogs. I am scared to dogs, is my movement determined by the environment or by my fears to dog?
