Sound familiar?

Six habits that keep club players stuck at the back of the court. Each one gets its own day in the plan.

Fixed on Day 08

The back glass makes you panic

A deep ball comes and you rush it before the glass, or get stuck so close to the wall you have no room to swing.

Same ball, two positions. Step out and let the glass give you time.

  • Your paddle hangs by your knee

    Every ball arrives before you're ready. You swing late, the face opens and the ball floats up for them.

    Fixed on Day 02

  • Your lobs land short

    Too short or too low, and the net players smash it. A good lob is your best way to push them back.

    Fixed on Day 10

  • You stay back after a good lob

    You admire it, they run back and lob you, and you've wasted your best chance to take the net.

    Fixed on Day 12

  • Balls go through the middle

    You and your partner each stand still in your own half. You both leave it, or you both go and clash paddles.

    Fixed on Day 15

  • Every lob is a smash for you

    Hit hard from deep, it comes off their back glass and they play it back easily. Know when to bandeja instead.

    Fixed on Day 19

Two pages. Four steps. Under thirty minutes.

Every day follows the same format, so you never waste court time working out what to do. Left page: the problem and the fix. Right page: the drill and the test.

  1. 01

    Spot it

    The mistake most players make, and why it costs them.

  2. 02

    Fix it

    Three coaching keys and a diagram that shows the right way.

  3. 03

    Train it

    One drill with setup, reps and time. Plus a level-up when it gets easy.

  4. 04

    Test it

    Tick the boxes. Can't tick them? Repeat the day next session.

What you need

A partner for most court days: anyone who can feed you balls is gold. Home days need a few metres of space, a resistance band and a phone timer.

The full 30 days

Week 1 builds your basics. Week 2 teaches you to use the glass. Week 3 gets you to the net and keeps you there. Week 4 makes you a better team on matchday.

Look inside

Real pages from the book. Every training day is a two-page spread: the problem and the fix, then the drill and the test.

  • The court in one page: dimensions, glass and the wall rules

Test yourself on Day 1. Again on Day 30.

Six tests measure the shots and movement the plan trains: the glass, volleys, lobs, the serve, the bandeja and your feet. Same tests, same rules, so the difference is there in black and white.

Is it for you?

It's for you if

  • You can already rally and play once or twice a week
  • You play either side of the court
  • You want a clear plan, not random drills
  • You can get on a court about 3 times a week

It's not for you if

  • You've never played (book a beginner lesson first)
  • You want a magic trick, not work
  • You're injured right now

Questions

What exactly do I get?

A 79-page PDF: 28 training days, a baseline test on Day 1 and a retest on Day 30, a court diagram for every drill, a scorecard, a 6-minute warm-up and a 30-day tracker.

How do I get it after paying?

Straight away. Your download link shows on the confirmation page and we email it to you too. The link works for 7 days, so save the PDF to your phone or computer. Your receipt comes separately from Lemon Squeezy, our payment provider.

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay once and the PDF is yours.

Do I need a partner?

For most court days, yes: anyone who can feed you balls. Days 3, 8, 9 and 13 work solo on a court, Days 24 to 26 work at home, and the book gives a solo version of a drill wherever one exists.

What do I need to train?

Your racket with the wrist strap on, 10 or more balls, about 6 cones (flat markers work) and a court about 3 times a week. Home days need a few metres of space, a resistance band and a phone timer.

How long does each session take?

20 to 30 minutes, after the 6-minute warm-up. Aim for 4 or 5 sessions a week with at least one full rest day. 30 sessions matters more than 30 days in a row.

What level is it for?

Club players who can already rally and play once or twice a week, on either side of the court. If you've never played, book a beginner lesson first.

I'm left-handed. Does it still work?

Yes. The diagrams show a right-handed pair, so mirror the forehand and backhand sides.

What's in the bundle and in Premium?

The bundle is this padel PDF plus Vol. 01, our 30-day football plan. Premium adds video drills to the padel PDF. It isn't out yet, so join the list and we'll email you when it is.

I'm under 18. Is that OK?

Yes. Let a parent or guardian know what you're doing. It's general training guidance, not medical advice, so check with a doctor first if you're injured or have a health condition.

Can I get a refund?

It's an instant digital download, so all sales are final. If your file won't open or you were charged twice, email us and we'll fix it.
