The first guest is Sandy Farquharson – the founder of The Padel School. Sandy has a background from tennis as a player and coach but transitioned into padel about 11 years ago. In 2019 Sandy started The Padel School and has been educating people about padel since, both in person and through his popular YouTube channel.

Today's topic is padel. One of the fastest growing sports in the world. Both guests have experiences from Dubai & the UK and we had a very interesting discussion of how far padel has come in a short time and what we can expect in the future.

Get ready to learn:

- Should padel be considered a threat to Tennis
- Why did Sandy start The PAdel School – offering padel techniques and knowledge in English
- How is the Padel landscape in the UK
- If Padel in Sweden rose too fast
