Why You’re Not Improving at Padel (And How to Fix It)

Sandy Farquharson

It’s the golden question players ask us all the time — in clinics, on our platform, and even after matches: “Why have I stopped improving?”

The truth is, most players experience 6–9 months of steady progress before they hit the dreaded plateau. It’s frustrating, but it’s also avoidable.

In this episode, we break down the 3 T’s that hold players back:
Technique – why good coaching (and the right kind) matters to break bad habits
Tactics – how to truly understand positioning, patterns, and working with your partner
Training – why only playing matches won’t get you better, and how to make practice count

We also share simple tools — like video analysis and mini-drills before matches — that make a huge difference to consistency and confidence.

Whether you’re just starting or already competing, this episode will give you clarity on what’s stopping your progress and the steps you need to keep climbing.
