Padelactico: What It’s REALLY Like Playing With the World’s Best Padel Players

We’re joined by Louis Jarrold, better known as Padelactico, to talk about his journey from tennis player to competitive padel player and content creator.

Louis has taken his pursuit of a Top 800 world ranking around the world — representing Ireland, competing internationally and training in high-performance environments alongside some of the best players in the game.

We hear what it’s really like to train with Gus Pratto, Arturo Coello’s coach, share the court with top-level players, and experience first-hand just how big the gap is between being a strong competitive player and reaching the professional level.
