🏎️ MD-4 | Playful Warm Up Designed trying to get some fun moments with the addition of the high speed running 🏃♂️ We split the team in smaller groups and they will be around a circle with a bottle inside. Each player will identify himself with a number 🔢 Around the circle, they will be performing some activation actions and when the coach screams a number, the player with that number will flip the bottle 🧨 On that moment, the player pointed by the bottle has to escape from the rest of the group and reach the end cones placed 20m away from the circle 🏁 With that kind of warm-ups, we can work on the socio-affective structure while focusing on the HSR we normally aim on the MD-4 days 🎯 –––––––––––– 🇪🇸 | Pensado tratando de combinar momentos divertidos con la consecución del HSR 🏃♂️ Formamos varios grupos de jugadores que se situaran alrededor de un circulo con una botella en medio. Cada jugador se va a adjudicar un número 🔢 Alrededor del círculo, de forma guiada, realizaran ejercicios de activación y en el momento que el entrenador diga un número, el jugador con dicho número girará la botella 🧨 En ese momento, el jugador señalado por la botella deberá escapar del resto del grupo y llegar a unos conos situados a 20m del circulo, antes de ser atrapado 🏁 Este tipo de calentamientos nos permiten trabajar en la estructura socio-afectiva mientras nos centramos en llegar a los valores semanales de HSR que normalmente buscaremos en los MD-4 🎯 #football #futbol #activation #warmup #calentamiento #HSR #fun

Do you know how heat influences #padel? 🎾 High temperatures arrive in the summer season and directly affect the way we play on the court. This is how the game changes: 1️⃣ The hardness of the padel racket changes: it becomes softer and less precise. 2️⃣ The court conditions change as the glass heats up and causes the ball to bounce at a quicker speed. 3️⃣ The pressure of the balls increases due to hot temperatures, so it bounces more in the court.

Curiosities about padel courts Padel, as we know it today, originated in Acapulco, Mexico, thanks to contractor Enrique Corcuera, who built the first Padel court in 1969. The court had dimensions of 10 meters wide by 20 meters long and featured a 3-meter-high wall opposite a fronton, with four medium-height walls enclosing the sides and a net in the center surrounded by a metal fence. The court layout includes a serving line parallel to the net, located 6.95 meters away. Players must stay within an "imaginary" serving area during service, avoiding touching any lines with their feet and bouncing the ball behind the service line. The court is divided into areas such as the backcourt, where defensive shots are executed, and the transition area, which lies between the backcourt and the attack zone (the net), where players transition between defense and offense. The net is 10 meters long and 0.88 meters high in the center, rising to a maximum of 0.92 meters at the ends, with a white band for visibility. The court's walls vary, with sections allowing regular ball rebounds and others causing irregular bounces. The court surface can be made of various materials, typically synthetic or artificial turf, affecting the game's speed. Access points are located on the sides of the court, with specified dimensions for single and double entrances, and safety measures are in place to protect players from collisions. Overall, these elements contribute to making Padel a unique and exciting sport, combining elements from Basque or Valencian ball courts with tennis on a standardized court.

1️⃣ MADRID’S NO.1 In March, and as a Madrid citizen myself, I’m sure I wasn’t alone in noticing the SPSG Consulting Report highlighting that Padel had overtaken football (soccer) as Madrid’s most popular sport to play. As a football fan - though no guessing whether I’m part of the Club Atlético de Madrid or the Real Madrid C.F. side of Madrid! - and someone who has worked in the football industry for almost 20 years for Atlético and Real - I am not surprised at the continued passion for football in my home city. But, nor am I surprised to see the growing love for padel, a sport that has, unlike many parts of the world, been around in my country for 50 years. Padel continues to boom in Madrid, and across Spain, with, according to International Padel Federation, over 16,000 courts nationwide. And that’s a trend we’re witnessing in other countries where Hexagon Cup is focussed, such as France where there are approximately 2,150 courts now. Padel is growing, and how long before other major capital cities start to follow in the footsteps of Madrid by embracing this sport? #padel #madrid #racketsports #sportindustry Astrid Thams Labayen Enrique Buenaventura Alba Saiz Carvajal Tim Godfrey Ben Nichols Carlos Almazàn Ricardo De Las Heras

Proactivity, inquisitiveness, and motivation: three qualities that can shape a fulfilling and successful career in the sports industry. These were just some of the insights I took away from an inspiring dinner with Jorge de la Vega, Director of Business at LALIGA, organized by Sports Business Talks (SBT). Why does this matter? Because in an industry as dynamic as sports, staying curious, taking initiative, and finding purpose in your actions aren’t just nice-to-haves—they’re essential to thrive. Jorge’s journey from Real Madrid C.F. to LaLiga demonstrates how being proactive can not only drive success but also foster genuine happiness in your work. What if more young professionals embraced these principles to carve their path in sports business? ✨ A huge thank you to Jorge de la Vega for sharing your wisdom and to Sport Business Talks for creating spaces where young professionals can learn and grow. These conversations truly make a difference! 🚀 What’s a career insight that’s stuck with you recently? #SportsBusiness #Networking #CareerGrowth #Proactivity #SportIndustry
