DON’T WAIT TO
“FEEL LIKE A COACH.”
Begin practising the actual skills of coaching now: observing, explaining, feeding, organising, recording and reflecting.
01 • Study
Learn one concept deeply
Start with basic court positioning. Watch one trusted video, draw the court, then explain defensive position, net position and transition space out loud without notes.
02 • Coach
Practise explaining
Choose one basic skill such as ready position, forehand, serve or lob. Give yourself three versions of the explanation: 20 seconds, 60 seconds and demonstration-only.
Test: can a complete beginner understand what to try after one explanation?
03 • Feed
Train your basket
On court, practise placing repeatable feeds to forehand, backhand, volley, lob and back glass. Your target is not pace. It is reproducibility.
Score yourself: how many of 10 feeds land in the intended training zone?
04 • Observe
Watch a match like a coach
Ignore winners. Track only three things for one set:
Who owns the net?What caused net loss?What recovered it?
Write down five patterns you notice. This is the beginning of your tactical eye.
05 • Design
Build the same lesson four ways
Choose the lob. Design a 20-minute coaching block for:
1 player2 players3 players4 players
Your goal is to remove queues and keep the game situation intact as the group size changes.
06 • Pilot
Run a low-stakes practice lesson
Coach a friend/player you already know for one focused theme. Do not try to prove you know everything. Use C.O.U.R.T., stick to one objective, and finish with points.
Important: until your certification/club arrangement is final, present this truthfully as practice/coach development rather than implying credentials you do not yet hold.
07 • Reflect
Write five lines afterwards
1. What did I notice?
2. What cue worked?
3. What did I over-explain?
4. Where did the player wait too long?
5. What will I change next time?
Your immediate standard
You do not need to know every shot before you begin learning to coach. You do need to become excellent at observation, clarity, progression and honesty about the level you are qualified to teach.

A topic counts here only after you pass its Scenario Check. Pass mark: 75% (6/8).
Each checkpoint contains 5 realistic court scenarios and 3 coach-reasoning questions. The next checkpoint unlocks only after you pass the current one.
01
Court Positioning: Know Where Home Is
Foundation • Player + Coach • Start here
Why it matters
Positioning changes the difficulty of almost every shot. Players often blame technique when the real problem is that they started too close, too far, or in the transition zone without purpose.
Best-case scenarios
- Brand-new players asking where to stand.
- Players caught in “no man's land”.
- Pairs splitting into different depths.
- Players reaching late despite reasonable technique.
On-court study drill
Shadow Homes: mark defensive and net home positions. Call “defend”, “lob”, “net”, “lobbed”; move as a pair without a ball, then add a live feed.
Your player lens
During your next match, notice whether each error began before contact because your position reduced your options.
Your coach lens
Before changing a player's swing, ask: “If I moved this player 1–2 metres, would the technical problem shrink?”
02
Serve + First Ball: Start the Point With Purpose
Foundation • Serve • Transition
Watch
Padel Serve Rules — The Padel School, then connect the serve to the first volley.
Why it matters
The serve is not a standalone winning shot. Its real value is starting the serving pair's transition into an organised attacking position and creating a manageable first volley.
Best-case scenarios
- Beginners who serve and remain at the baseline.
- Players sprinting forward with racket down.
- Players trying to win directly from the first volley.
- Serve consistency sessions.
On-court study drill
D03 Serve + Go / D11 Serve + 3: serve to a target, move forward under control, split, play first volley, then build the first four balls.
Your player lens
Judge your serve by the quality of the return you receive and the first volley it creates, not just whether the serve looks aggressive.
Your coach lens
Observe the whole sequence: serve quality → movement → split step → racket readiness → first-volley decision.
03
Return: Survive First, Then Create
Foundation → Improver • Defence • Decision
Why it matters
A poor return gives the serving pair an easy attacking ball. A good return is not always aggressive; it keeps the returning pair alive and can begin the battle for net position.
Best-case scenarios
- Players struggling with side-glass serves.
- Returns flying long from oversized swings.
- Players unsure when to lob the return.
- Competition preparation.
On-court study drill
Return Ladder: 5 serves each to T / body / glass. Return target 1 = deep middle; target 2 = controlled lob. Progress into serve + first three balls.
Your player lens
Ask after every return: did I neutralise the server, buy time, or create an opportunity to challenge for net?
Your coach lens
Separate return problems into reading, position, preparation, contact and decision. Do not fix all five at once.
04
Back Glass: Make Space Before You Swing
Defence • Essential padel skill
Why it matters
Wall defence is one of the clearest differences between padel and tennis. The wall buys time only if the player anticipates the rebound and creates enough room for the ball to come back into court.
Best-case scenarios
- Tennis players taking everything before the wall.
- Players getting jammed by the rebound.
- Contact happening behind the body.
- Beginners frightened of letting the ball pass.
On-court study drill
D05 Let It Go → D06 Glass → Target: first train the decision to let it rebound; then add spacing, target control and finally lob/low-ball choice.
Your player lens
Feel how much easier the stroke becomes when your feet create the contact point instead of your arm rescuing a cramped rebound.
Your coach lens
Look at preparation, spacing and contact before discussing wrist or swing. Many “glass technique” errors are movement errors.
05
The Lob: Change Who Owns the Court
Defence → Attack • Tactical cornerstone
Why it matters
The lob slows the point, pushes attackers away from their preferred net position and can give the defending pair time to move forward. It can therefore be defensive or attacking depending on context.
Best-case scenarios
- Both opponents are established at net.
- You receive a ball you can control from balance.
- You need time to recover position.
- You want to challenge for net rather than force a passing winner.
On-court study drill
D04 Lob Landing Zone → D09 Lob or Low? first train height/depth, then remove the predetermined choice and read the attackers.
Your player lens
Stop measuring the lob only by “in/out”. Ask whether it actually moved the opponents and gave you enough time to change court position.
Your coach lens
Do not teach “lob every low ball”. Teach balance, opponent position, space and intention.
06
Volley: Control Before the Finish
Attack • Net ownership
Why it matters
Net play is where attacking pressure is built, but recreational players often over-swing and attempt to finish too soon. The useful volley is frequently a setup ball.
Best-case scenarios
- Tennis players swinging too much.
- Players volleying fast but without depth/shape.
- Players standing too close to the net.
- Players who win net but immediately lose it.
On-court study drill
D07 Volley Depth: score only controlled volleys into target zones. Progress to “3 setup volleys before a finish” then live crosscourt points.
Your player lens
Notice which volleys create a weaker reply versus which just create speed. Pressure is more useful than aesthetics.
Your coach lens
Watch ready position, shoulder turn, contact, base and shot intention. Match the size of the swing to incoming pace.
07
Bandeja: Keep the Net, Don’t Chase the Highlight
Improver • Overhead • Court management
Why it matters
The bandeja is primarily a response to being lobbed while attacking. Its purpose is often to retain or recover attacking position, not to hit a winner from an awkward overhead.
Best-case scenarios
- Intermediate players losing net whenever they are lobbed.
- Tennis smash habits producing too much risk.
- Players watching their overhead instead of recovering.
- A controlled overhead is available but the ball is not a clean finishing opportunity.
On-court study drill
Bandeja + Recover: feed lob, turn early, move behind ball, play controlled target, then recover net before the next feed. Score recovery position as well as ball quality.
Your player lens
A “good bandeja” is incomplete if you admire it from the back of the court and lose net anyway.
Your coach lens
Teach recognition and movement before spin. Direction and speed matter more than manufacturing a fancy slice.
08
Partner Communication: Give the Hitter Their Eyes Back
Pair play • Information • Timing
Why it matters
When a player turns to retrieve a lob, they lose visual information about the opponents. The partner can scan and communicate useful information early enough to change the shot decision.
Best-case scenarios
- Pairs silent when one player is lobbed.
- Confusion about middle balls.
- One partner charging forward alone.
- Pairs blaming each other after points.
On-court study drill
Blind Hitter: lob one player. Their partner calls a pre-agreed simple cue about opponent position before contact. Award the pair only if the call arrives early and the shot matches the information.
Your player lens
Develop a tiny vocabulary with your regular partner. Information must be immediate, unambiguous and useful.
Your coach lens
Communication drills should train when to speak and what information matters, not simply force people to shout constantly.
09
Decision-Making: Right Shot, Right Situation
Tactics • Reading • Constraint training
Why it matters
Many recreational errors are not technical failures. The player chose a low-percentage solution for the ball, court zone or opponent position they had.
Best-case scenarios
- Player looks technically competent but loses many points.
- Over-attacking from defence.
- Automatic lob/drive choices.
- Players who ask “what was I supposed to do there?”
On-court study drill
D09 Lob or Low? / D12 Conditioned Match: create two or more valid choices, then reward the decision appropriate to opponent position rather than a predetermined stroke.
Your player lens
After an error, separate “right idea, poor execution” from “wrong idea”. Those require different fixes.
Your coach lens
Ask questions after points. If you always tell the answer, you may create dependence instead of tactical intelligence.
10
Match Analysis: Learn to See Patterns
Coach development • Tactical diagnosis
Watch / read
Padel Match Analysis and Intermediate Match Analysis — The Padel School.
Why it matters
A coach needs to identify repeating causes, not react emotionally to every lost point. Match analysis is where technical, positional and tactical information becomes a development plan.
Best-case scenarios
- Before planning the next block for a regular client.
- Players plateauing despite good-looking drills.
- Tournament preparation.
- Pair coaching and recurring tactical errors.
On-court study drill
3-Stat Set: for one set record only unforced errors, net-control changes and decision quality. Find the single pattern causing the most damage.
Your player lens
Video a short segment and watch it once without judging technique. Only track position and decisions.
Your coach lens
Your next session theme should emerge from the dominant match pattern, not from whichever drill looked fun online that week.

Coaching Philosophy
The behaviours that should make your coaching recognisable.
Coaching promise
Make padel understandable.
Why: People should be able to enter padel without feeling stupid, intimidated or lost.
How: Structured progression, intelligent repetition, real-game situations and positive competitive experiences.
What: Technically sound, tactically intelligent and confident recreational padel players.

Understand before execute
Start with the game situation. “You’re being lobbed while attacking. What problem are we solving?” Situation first, shot second.
2
Position before power
Prioritise position → balance → decision → contact → power.
3
Simple before spectacular
Build control, glass confidence, lob use, movement and basic net ownership before advanced finishing.
4
Technique must transfer
Technical work should progress into movement, decision, pressure and actual points.
5
The 1–1–1 Rule
1 objective. 1 main correction. 1 success measure.

Hey! Yes, absolutely 💗 I’d love to help. Before I recommend the best place to start, tell me a little bit about you: have you played padel before, and what would you most like to get better at or feel more confident doing?
They are a complete beginner“I’ve never played before”⌄
Perfect — starting from zero is completely fine. I’d begin by helping you understand the court, the basic strokes, serve/return and where you should actually be standing, then we build from there so you’re not just hitting balls but genuinely understanding the game. Are you looking to train one-on-one, with a friend, or are you open to a small group?
They already playFind the real priority⌄
Amazing. If you’re already playing, I’d want to understand where the biggest frustration is before deciding what kind of session makes sense. Is it more consistency, glass, net play, positioning, serve/return, match decisions — or honestly just “I don’t know what I’m doing wrong” 😂? And roughly how often are you playing at the moment?

Yes, I can absolutely work with you as a group. The main thing I’d want is for the session to make sense for everyone rather than four people taking turns in a queue 😭. How many of you are there, and would you say you’re roughly at the same level?
They ask for price immediatelyAnswer clearly without overloading them⌄
Of course. I can send you the current coaching options and rates. The only thing I’d like to understand first is whether you’re looking for a private session or training with 2–4 people, because the best setup is different. Which one are you considering?
You are ready to recommendMove from conversation to booking⌄
Based on what you’ve told me, I’d start you with [SESSION / PROGRAMME] because the priority is really [GOAL]. We can use the first session to get a proper picture of your level as well, then I’ll know exactly what we should build next. I’ll send you the available session options and we can lock in what works best.

Coaching Tools
Correction, cueing, match analysis, homework and professional standards.
Correction system
- Observe. Watch roughly 3–5 examples where practical.
- Diagnose. Technical? Movement? Position? Decision? Timing?
- Choose one root problem.
- Give one short cue.
- Give another 5–10 attempts. Did it help?
- Add decision + pressure. Transfer it into the game.
Cue library
| Ready | Racket ready. Feet alive. |
| Groundstroke | Turn. Space. Contact. |
| Glass | Let it pass. Make space. |
| Volley | Set. Block. Recover. |
| Lob | Under it. Lift. Move. |
| Serve | Simple. Target. Follow. |
| Transition | Earn the net. |
| Bandeja | Control, then recover. |
| Pair play | Move as two. |
| Defence | One more ball. |
| Attack | Build before finish. |
Match analysis
Start with 3:
1. Unforced errors
2. Net control
3. Decision quality: right idea / poor execution vs wrong idea
Homework
Match: consider lob whenever both opponents are tight at net.
Partner: call every lob.
Observation: track pair movement when lobbed.
Technical: 5 minutes shadow movement.
Safety + professionalism

Video rule: film small amounts intentionally. Example: 3 backhands before a correction and 3 after. Use the video to clarify the cue, not to turn every lesson into content production.

MY GAME • MATCH REVIEW
Review the match, not your mood.
Capture the strongest signal, the recurring problem and what changed under pressure. Coach OS uses the pattern across matches, not one emotional result.

QUICK REVIEW • ABOUT 2–3 MINUTES
What did the match actually tell you?
Choose your top one or two signals first. Primary carries more weight than Secondary; text adds the context that taps cannot capture.

MY GAME • PRIORITIES
Know what deserves your attention now.
Your top 1–3 development priorities are ranked from repeated match evidence, pressure signals and outside observations.
How to read this
Priority ≠ permanent weakness.
A priority is simply the next high-value problem supported by your current evidence. When it stops appearing under pressure, it can move out and something else can take its place.
MY GAME • ASSESSMENT
Your game, area by area.
A simple evidence profile built from your recent self-ratings and observer ratings. It shows where the picture is strong, weak or still incomplete.
MY GAME • TRAINING PLAN
Train the problem. Then prove the change.
Every priority becomes a simple loop: understand what matters, train it under a useful constraint, then re-test it in live play.
Re-test rule
Do not graduate a priority because the drill looked good.
The development loop closes when the behaviour appears independently in a live match or competitive environment. Your next Match Review is the re-test.
MY GAME • MOVEMENT INTELLIGENCE
See what your movement is helping or limiting.
Turn movement observations into one practical focus, then verify it with video, coaching eyes and live-play evidence.
VIDEO REVIEW • ONE LENS AT A TIME
Use video to verify the signal.
Record 5–10 repetitions or a short live-point sequence. Watch the clip once for only the movement area Coach OS is asking you to verify. Update the note after you have evidence, rather than changing technique from memory alone.
BODY MECHANICS LIBRARY
Study the shot where the movement breaks
The movement summary gives you a lens. These shot cards help you inspect Base → Prepare → Load → Transfer → Contact → Recover without assuming one technique fits every ball.
Observe first. Score second.
This is an observation profile, not a body-type formula or medical assessment. Rate what you actually see in matches, coaching or video. Notes are most useful when they follow WHEN + WHAT HAPPENS + CONSEQUENCE.

Your self-rating is one perspective. Send the same eight Movement Profile questions to coaches who have actually seen you play, then compare where the evidence agrees or differs.
