About Paul
Hello! I'm Paul Thomas — super-fit, injury-free most of the time, and still genuinely obsessed with racquet sports .....
starting out as a high-level tennis player then coach in my youth,
Later played Division 1 squash, and mastered Real Tennis . I also trained my three children to become national-international level tennis players. In 2020, at 64, I discovered padel and threw myself into mastering it — and I travel the world playing it, from Madrid and Dubai to Austria, regularly training and learning alongside top-50 Spanish and Argentinian player coaches.
I know exactly what it takes to build a winning game, stay in peak physical condition, and enjoy sport for a lifetime.

My Coaching Philosophy & Methodology:
Padel is just so much fun and i try and inspire you on your journey. My coaching blends technical expertise with marginal gains, i will help you seamlessly mix the skills you already have with the tactical adjustments you need. I use the same Spanish drills that are practised by the world's best coaches and players
My lessons incorporate:
The Inner Game — using "Inner Padel" concepts (based on the famous Inner Game of Tennis). I teach you to improve by observing and feeling body movement, quietening the conscious mind for peak performance.
Tactics over Power — perfect for players looking to outsmart younger, faster opponents through positioning, spin, and glass play.
Holistic Health — as a former health supplement company owner, I offer all-round advice on longevity, fitness, and staying injury-free.
Practicalities & Logistics:
Credentials: Padel MBA Pro Certified, LTA Accredited, Enhanced DBS Checked, First Aid & Safeguarding certified.
Languages: Fluent French, modest Spanish and German.
Location & Flexibility: Located in West London. Highly flexible timetable and happy to travel to your preferred court.
You book and pay for the court and I'll take your game to the next level... FAST!

My rates are exclusive of court fees.
I recommend you have at least 4 to 6 lessons to cover all the basic areas and give you a blueprint to follow whilst videoing your own games and monitoring exactly how you are assimilating and executing the new ideas we work on together.
Online lessons would mean you videoing yourself both practising and then playing. I can then go through each shot and explain what is working well and exactly what needs changing and how you can do this. I will also critique your gameplay with tactical advice as well.
This is something I have done for love for my friends!
Of course after this you are welcome to book live coaching sessions to implement the changes.
I have accumulated a huge amount of padel specific tips and ways to help people progress quickly and avoid many of the knowledge gaps and barriers that I had starting off. Many concepts are unique to padel and I have worked hard at understanding and incorporating these into my game. Therefore I can help my students to progress in leaps and bounds and avoid a lot of misconceptions about padel.
Although not immediately obvious, it is a lot different to other racket sports whilst appearing quite similar. Ask me about this and I can spend hours explaining how... :)
PS: my first love was tennis and if you want I can improve your tennis game in record time to be honest but really.... I'd rather be playing and teaching Padel these days!
