I don’t know how good I have it and till when but I just want to acknowledge my pains and gains in my Padel Life so far. In the last week of March, I suffered through tough losses in the Arcovia games, got sick BUT for whatever reason, I kept my March Win % at 71.79%. What was really amazing was my games have been really great too since April, currently at 92.31%.

I think it really factors that I am more mindful with my partners if I can help it. Kay was great in my last few games, as well as Frida - who we beat in the above game. I also think that changing my racket from Martita Ortega Adidas 2024 to the Tactical El Sabio gave me so much advantage. Suddenly all my techniques are shining, my balls are slicing and spinning and I am not dropping my racket due to heaviness.

Luck has played a lot on my games too - I can’t take credit for those lucky moments. All I know is that because of my newfound chemistry as well with people I’ve been playing with, my win% has stayed well.

Kay - really good energy inside and outside of the court - just enough pressure to win but also know that if we lost despite giving our best, it is ok
Kino - really advanced techniques and fast on his feet so I’m really happy how he covers his space, rarely commits mistakes and performs winning shots

I realize that my recent games also teach me what I want in a partner and that’s someone who:

Someone who is just as committed to growing and improving in padel as much (or as little) as I am. I probably will not make someone who plays padel more than me super happy
Someone who grows both in technique and analysis more than me because inside the court I need analysis and adjustments
Good energy all around

Joining a national tournament come May - vamos!
