In the latest episode of Coffee Talk from Padel Smash Academy, hosts Cesc and Julian shine a spotlight on a topic that rarely gets the attention it deserves—padel etiquette. While technique and strategy often dominate the conversation, this episode reminds players that how you behave on court can be just as important as how you play.
The discussion opens with a breakdown of the small but significant habits that define good sportsmanship. From calling your own lets to acknowledging lucky shots, the hosts emphasize that honesty and humility go a long way in building trust between partners and opponents. They also explore the importance of clear communication, especially when it comes to court positioning and shot selection—two areas where confusion can quickly lead to frustration.
Cesc and Julian don’t just talk theory; they share real-life examples of etiquette gone wrong, including moments when players ignored basic courtesy or let competitiveness override respect. These stories serve as gentle reminders that padel is a social sport, and maintaining a positive atmosphere is part of the game.
Whether you’re stepping onto the court for the first time or you’ve logged hundreds of hours in doubles matches, this episode offers practical advice that can elevate your experience. It’s not just about winning points—it’s about playing with integrity, awareness, and a sense of community.
