What people have to say

“Encouraging, challenging, well explained and above all fun, that’s how every lesson with NJ feels for me. As a result of NJ’s coaching and support I’ve seen not just a huge improvement in my ability to play Padel, but also in my confidence that I can play Padel. I definitely would recommend NJ to anyone looking to take their game to the next level, and I am grateful for the positive impact he’s had on my Padel journey.”

“NJ is one in a million. He has tremendous charisma which inspires people on the Padel court to play well and have fun whether it’s a group session or individual lesson . He is welcoming, always smiling and provides immense encouragement on and off the court. The Padel tennis drills are so appropriate to the game . He explains the techniques so simple it’s easy to improve . I so look forward to Padel sessions with NJ.”
Claire
“NJ is a brilliant coach - knowledgeable, encouraging and supportive. His enthusiasm and positivity is infectious, making every session a pleasure.”
John
You can convince yourself you need a better padel racket or you can watch hours of padel videos on YouTube but the reality is, if you want to get better at padel you need proper coaching and this why you need NJ. Ever since I started lessons with NJ my game play has improved. I’m in the right court position more times than I’m not now. Couple that with NJ’s ability to identify and correct my technique in his affable manner, I’m improving after every session.
If you’re serious about improving at padel I can’t recommend NJ highly enough.
Dom
“A game changer! NJ is your family coach. He's been coaching me, my husband and children since August last year. He goes above and beyond to ensure that each session is not only productive, but also enjoyable. He takes times to understand each players strengths, weaknesses and goals, and has an adaptable coaching style to teach players of all levels and ages. Highly recommended.”
