The game fast becoming footballers' second sport

Also Lewandowski

oh you mean pickleball

Here in Brazil there is a fever of Beach Tenis. The racket is even very similar to the paddel's one.

......... i just don't get why its not called squash?????

What happened to TIFO...

CAN ANYONE TELL WHO MAKES THE THUMBNAIL. LOVED THE STYLE

Man like Ronadlo una

Argentina and Spain are the only countries that won the Paddle WC.

F1 Drivers have been playing this for years as well. Seems like Padel is everywhere.

Glad I watched this,… I assumed it was pickle ball…. It’s a completely different sport and this is my first time hearing of it …. Cool stuff

I knew Robben played it but so many others…?!

Is this just a European thing?? It seems like in America this exact video could be made for pickleball

Padel hasnt blown up in America because we play Pickleball instead

Ronadlo

Ah yes, the famous brazilian Ronadlo

I used to play tennis as a kid but eventually stopped as it was outdoors and i didnt want to go on a cold, wet november saturday morning to freeze my arse off. About a year or so ago i started Padel and most of these courts are indooors. As well as being an easier and more accessible version of tennis, not freezing ones arse off is a big bonus.

This is exactly why pickleball is growing in the US. A fun sport with less physical demands than other racquet sports

Can't believe you didn't mention Zidane. He even has his own company

I absolutely hate Padel. Just came here to say that. People who can't play tennis, play padel. Kay bye.

soyboy tennis

Padel is not a real sport.

To be fair, I rather play pickleball than padel. It is going to be fun seeing both sports grow and compete for which one is better

We in Barbados play a sport called "Road Tennis" check it out

This channel is dead.

never heard of pickle ball have you? its taking over tennis space in the states

Yeah we got pickle ball here in America; it’s basically the same 😅

i assumed itd be golf or even sim racing lol

Pickleball is so lame, I wish paddle is what took off here.

Everyone just wants tennis without the running.

it is very fast growing in the united states. that’s just not true

With decent hand eye coordination (which all footballers have) and not just practice you can have a really good game - low barrier to entry unlike Tennis but similar to pickleball. To be "good good" does take time, not an "easy" sport to master.

It will likely never be professionally viable because that’s dictated by people interested in watching it, not just playing.

Even tennis is barely viable unless you are top 100 in the world.

My Dad said that many Dutch footballers used to play baseball in the off-season. The coaches thought that the hand-to-eye coordination required for baseball was useful for football skills as well.

We have Pickleball here in the US, and it serves the same purpose, I have always felt Badminton is a great sport to play to strengthen the legs, and stay in shape for soccer, American Football and other sports, I guess this serves the same purpose. Great video, and on point as always.

Football is a side hussle at this point 😅

Ronadlo 😅

in Argentina it was huge in the 90s

Paddle is definitely my second most favorite sport

If it can only bounce once and the ball can bounce against the wall, why not do crosses where it bounces against the floor and then the wall, don't really care though. I know nothing about the sport, but it only became popular because of the pandemic, why is it still a thing?

Pickleball is quite similar and is popular in america

Another paddle fan is the Boca Juniors and Brighton wonderkid Valentín Barco, a synthom of Argentinas recent obsession with the sport

What's the difference between paddle ball and Pickleball?

Yeah for sure, even i play it!

It's not gonna catch up,we dnt watch tennis, hardly ever watch other football league s except for the epl.why would want to watch another sport.

Footballers dnt love competition,most of them will jump at a chance to play in big teams in uncompetitive leagues,Messi has ran away from competition all his career,mpabbe has done everything to push for a move to Madrid.managers are competitives, they take on premier League jobs at any club if made available

Surprisingly no mention of z5 padel, zidane's sporting complex.
