JORGE BELLMONT, PADEL COACH IN VALENCIA, IN A FEW WORDS :
Jorge’s passion for racket sports began at a very young age: at 3 years old, he was already playing tennis. In 1999, he tried padel for the first time and fell in love with the sport, developing a deep passion for it. He then decided to turn professional by obtaining a professional coaching license, gaining extensive experience over the years. This included serving as the coach and selector for the padel team at the University of Valencia and the Club Español de Tenis (Rocafort-Valencia) in Spain, one of the largest clubs in the Valencia metropolitan area. The club boasts courts identical to those used in professional circuits.
Jorge explains to us that he can adapt to experienced players like those on the Premier padel: he has coached Javi Rico, Josete Rico, and Arantxa Soriano, all players who have entered the top 30 globally!
In 2021, Jorge opens his own padel academy while serving as the coach for Qatar at the Padel World Championship. Additionally, he is selected to become the coach for Saudi Arabia. Today, he joins the coaching team at ToPadel.
KEY ASPECTS OF PADEL ACCORDING TO JORGE BELLMONT
“According to my experience,” says Jorge Bellmont, “the most important aspect in padel is understanding that the defensive phase is crucial.” For him, a player who solely focuses on attacking and making flashy shots will find it more challenging to progress and become a well-rounded player. This stands as a true testament to his recognized expertise, acknowledged by Arab nations that have become addicted to padel. They consistently choose the best, relying on his guidance to develop padel in their countries.
Secondly, it’s crucial to comprehend and master the tactical aspects of padel: knowing which type of shot is most appropriate at any given moment and having the patience needed to initiate an attack. Finally, a good technique is essential for each player.
Thirdly, Jorge emphasizes the importance of maintaining good physical preparation: padel is more fatiguing than players may imagine, and points are generally quite long. “Without proper physical preparation, it’s difficult to implement the first two points mentioned.”
The final point: mindset. A player must place significant importance on concentration during matches. Padel is also a highly mental sport. Knowing how not to lose focus or regain concentration during a match is crucial in padel.
THE STRONG POINTS OF JORGE BELLMONT’S PADEL COACHING IN VALENCIA
For Jorge Bellmont, having a single, universal method for all players is impossible. As a coach, one must have the ability to identify the type of player in front of them. There are players who learn easily, with excellent or less-than-perfect coordination, and the same applies to physical preparation and mindset.
For his students, he likes to start with the basics: ensuring they understand the tactical aspect of padel, emphasizing the importance of “correctly returning balls in play repeatedly.” From this skill level, they can develop the ability to anticipate when there might be opportunities to seize and know where to play each ball.
If a student doesn’t initially grasp the game and its nuances or isn’t physically strong, it will be challenging to help them progress.
