This fun neural activation drill helps the player sharpen their reflexes on court while also working on agility. The player must stay fully alert throughout the exercise, catching balls thrown by the coach and immediately returning them, with several variations to increase difficulty.
The medicine ball is an excellent tool to strengthen the abdominal core and improve coordination during movement. This exercise consists of throwing the medicine ball back to the coach while simulating a padel stroke (forehand or backhand) and performing proper hip rotation. A variation is later introduced to increase difficulty.
Performed in the locker room by Agustín Tapia and Arturo Coello before stepping onto the court, these two exercises are designed to wake up the players both physically and mentally, putting them in the best condition right from the start of the match.
