Coaching

Private and small-group padel lessons for one to four players at Sterling Sport & Wellness, Sukhumvit 24, built around what your game needs. Every session works on real situations from your matches, from the first ball to the last point.

Your first session

It's a real training session, not a test. For the first 10–15 minutes I watch you play and ask what you want to improve. Then we start working on technique and tactics chosen for your game.

From there, each session builds on the last. I give you corrections on court, and I adjust the work as you improve.

How I coach

A good shot in practice is only useful if it holds up in a match. So I mix four kinds of work, chosen for your level, your goals and what I see that day.

  • Building the shot

    Technique and body mechanics: how you prepare, move and use your body through the shot. Simple feeding and clear references help you feel the movement and repeat it.

  • Control drills

    Cooperative rallies with a condition, where the goal is to keep the exchange going, not to win the point. For example, one ball off the wall and one without, or a short volley then a deep one. Useful once you can rally, at any level and in groups.

  • Reading the game & making decisions

    The ball comes the way it does in a match. You read it early and choose where, how hard and which shot to play.

  • Playing under pressure

    Points and match situations, sometimes with a rule and sometimes open play, so your technique and decisions hold up when it counts.

Not every session uses all four, or in the same order.

What we work on: the three game situations

On your own, or with up to three others

Feeding, drills, rotations and game situations are adapted to whoever is on court, so nobody spends the session waiting.

On your own
Everything is about your game: what you want to improve and what I see when you play.
Two to four players
Come with a partner or a small group at a similar level. Each session has a shared goal and exercises chosen for the group. Corrections are individual: I watch each player and give each of you your own feedback.

Clinics

Group sessions of 90–120 minutes on one theme. We take the theme from drills to points, and each clinic has its own level, so everyone on court can follow it.

  • First steps

    For new players: the rules, the basic shots, the volley and the serve, then simple games.

  • Walls & defence

    Playing off the back and side glass, double walls and the defensive lob.

  • Net & transition

    Volleys, moving to the net with your partner and keeping your position.

  • Serve, return & winning the net

    Starting the point well, from either side of the court.

  • Overheads

    Moving to the lob, bandeja and víbora, the smash and when to let the ball go.

Dates, levels and places change through the year. Ask me about the next clinics

Levels

I see your level on court, in the first session. The same areas come back at every level with more difficulty, and everyone moves at their own pace.

  • Foundation

    New to padel, or you play but still lose control of the ball too often. We build control: keeping the ball in play, with simple direction and depth.

  • Development

    You can rally and play matches. Now you want to handle the walls, the net and harder balls, and make better decisions.

  • More experienced

    Ask about sessions built around your own game.

Questions

What happens in the first session?

It's a normal training session. For the first 10–15 minutes I watch you play and ask what you want to improve. Then we work on technique and tactics chosen for your game. At the end I tell you what I'd work on next.

Can I come with friends?

Yes. I coach one to four players. A group shares the objective of each session, and each player gets their own corrections.

I'm a beginner. Is this for me?

Yes. We start with control: keeping the ball in play and finding your position on court, at your pace.

How do you decide my level?

On court, by watching you play. There is no test or form.

How many sessions do I need?

It depends on your goals, your time and how you progress. After the first session I'll tell you what I'd suggest. For prices and options, ask me on WhatsApp.

What if the players in my group have different levels?

Similar levels work best. If they're too far apart, I'll tell you and suggest an option that works.

Where are the sessions?

At Sterling Sport & Wellness, Sukhumvit 24, Bangkok, near BTS Phrom Phong. I book the court for you.

Do you run clinics?

Yes. Clinics are group sessions of 90–120 minutes on one theme, each with its own level. Ask me on WhatsApp for the next dates.
