The first key to stop missing easy balls? Your footwork.

The first tip is focus on your footwork. So often the ball comes over slow and so players move slowly, like the ball comes and they think, oh, I only need to take one step because it's so slow, and they end up being out of position and swiping at the ball when really this is a time to focus on that footwork. And it's almost like micro steps. You're taking all these adjustment steps to get around the ball, to get yourself in the best position possible. The ball is slow, so there's no excuse for you not to be in a good position here. And so much of that is the footwork and adjustment around the ball. Now, if you want to improve your footwork in general, there's loads of things that you can do off the court to improve foot speed and sharpness and being on your toes. We've actually got a course, Faster Feet for Padel. They're follow-along videos, 4 minutes, 8 minutes, 12-minute videos where I'm going through footwork exercises.
