Welcome to episode 79 of Sports Management Podcast – where I speak with not one, but TWO great guests.
The first guest is Sandy Farquharson – the founder
of The Padel School. Sandy has a background from tennis as a player
and coach but transitioned into padel about 11 years ago. In 2019
Sandy started The Padel School and has been educating people about
padel since, both in person and through his popular YouTube
channel.
Ben Nichols is the founder of Padel 22 - The first
padel-dedicated communications consultancy. Ben also appeared
on episode 20, where he spoke about media relations in sport
and his experiences from working with WADA, Formula 1 and ATP.
Today's topic is padel. One of the fastest growing sports in the world. Both guests have experiences from Dubai & the UK and we had a very interesting discussion of how far padel has come in a short time and what we can expect in the future.
Get ready to learn:
- Should padel be considered a threat to Tennis
- Why did Sandy start The PAdel School – offering padel techniques
and knowledge in English
- How is the Padel landscape in the UK
- If Padel in Sweden rose too fast
- Why Ben started Padel 22
- The importance of coach education in Padel
And more!
