MEETING WITH VICTORIA CHECA, PADEL COACH IN TORRE DEL MAR, 25 MIN. FROM MALAGA
My career in Padel in Spain began when I saw my cousins playing. After several sessions, I quickly wanted to compete. It became addictive.
I have been a national Padel coach for over 6 years. I am also a physical preparation coach dedicated to Padel. Currently, I am under contract with BullPadel Sport, which supports me both as a player and Padel coach.
It is important for me to play at the highest level alongside coaching. So, since 2016, I have started competing at the federal level. That’s why I am a player in the veteran Padel selection of Andalusia and the Malaga region.
With these teams, I have won many local and federal championship titles. I had the opportunity to participate in a European club championship in Toulouse, France, in 2017. In 2019, we won the title of Spanish Team Champion with the Andalusian selection. In 2023, I also won the title of Andalusian Champion in the over 45 category.
For me, a player’s attitude is important for improvement. Being disciplined, rigorous, and consistent in training are the keys to success in Padel. Of course, within the limits of each player’s abilities. That’s why I train regularly, just as I ask my players to do. On the court, but not only that: also in the gym for muscle strengthening, specific to Padel.
My courses will always be based on the client’s or group’s needs. But I can assist you with Topadel if you want help in developing your personalized educational program. Depending on your level of play, especially in each area specific to Padel : at the back of the court, at the net, or during transitions.
Please note: if you want to take courses with others, I recommend that you have the same level to work more easily and improve more quickly.
Important Principles of Padel According to Victoria Checa :
As a player, the key factors for successful progress are :
In Defense :
Learning to play using the walls to give yourself time to play. It’s crucial to learn how to defend effectively before going on the attack.
In Attack :
Being patient and consistent in constructing the point and waiting for the right opportunities to go for the winning shot. You must wait for the right ball to launch your attack.
Always keep in mind that nothing is ever lost in Padel, and you’re not playing to win a point but rather not to lose it. The most important thing for Padel players is to get the ball to the other side of the court and keep playing, even when a point seems lost. The player who makes fewer mistakes always wins.
The Advantages of Working with Victoria Checa in Padel :
My priorities during my courses, and for a student to progress, include learning a simple technique dedicated to Padel and not playing using techniques from tennis, squash, or other racket sports.
All sessions or camps should be lively, organized, well-prepared, and dynamic. There should be gameplay involved. I am a coach who is always fully committed, and I know how to consider the students’ needs to adapt the teaching program at any moment.
My commitment is always significant, and my students can feel it both in the sessions and in the progress I relentlessly push them towards!
Coach Victoria Checa’s Tips to Improve Your Padel Game
For beginner players, I recommend being patient and having fun. Padel is a friendly sport, a moment to be shared with family or friends. The accessible nature of the discipline should quickly allow everyone to keep the ball in play and have long rallies that will inevitably seem spectacular, even without playing at a professional level! To progress, you must start by getting used to defending to be able to return the ball and, therefore, maintain the rally. Execute simple shots effectively, meaning hitting a technically sound shot and placing it accurately (playing in the right areas).
For experienced players, I recommend persistence and sacrifice to reach the desired higher level. While accessible, Padel is also demanding for those seeking competitive results. Good lifestyle choices off the court will be crucial because there is no doubt that such players are already highly motivated on the court. However, physical preparation and nutrition are often underestimated topics.
