In a dynamic new video from Otro Nivel Padel, coach Sven Boele joins forces with professional players Bojana and Alice to break down how to defend aggressively and take over the point in padel. The session focuses on transforming defensive situations into offensive opportunities through smart tactics, precise footwork, and strategic positioning.
The video emphasizes the importance of recognizing when to shift from passive defense to proactive play. Bojana and Alice demonstrate how to use well-placed lobs and sharp counterattacks to disrupt opponents and create space to move forward. Viewers are guided through drills that highlight timing, anticipation, and the value of staying compact and balanced at the back of the court.
One of the key takeaways is learning how to read the game and choose the right moment to transition. Rather than simply surviving under pressure, the goal is to regain control and dictate the pace. The video also outlines common mistakes—such as overcommitting or misjudging depth—that can turn a solid defense into a missed opportunity.
Whether you’re an intermediate player looking to level up or an advanced competitor refining your edge, this tutorial offers practical insights to elevate your defensive game and convert it into a winning strategy.
