Ale Galan teaches Defending Viboras!!

[@seeyouinanotherlifebrother5485]

What an honor for Ale! All jokes aside, great video Sandy, being able to learn from the best is awesome

[@ThePadelSchool]

Hahaha definitely an honor to have him (not sure he would feel quite the same haha)

[@gert-janclaes3001]

@@ThePadelSchool Did you get the opportunity to play with him? I know, maybe it's a silly question but still, it would be pretty cool & padel is life so why not 😅

[@ThePadelSchool]

@@gert-janclaes3001 certainly did in an exhibition match 👍 he moves like lightning!! ⚡️

[@oxe]

Very cool! You know I was hoping he would turn up in one of your videos when I saw he went to Dubai. He seems like such a humble guy.

[@ThePadelSchool]

A really nice guy and extremely humble!!

[@omandachuva]

Ale's insights are priceless and the way you broke them down for us in on par with the expected quality you've been providing since the very beginning. I'm happy for you and hope you get more guests on the channel!

[@ThePadelSchool]

Thank you!! It is difficult to follow now we have had Ale but we will try our best!! Thanks for your support!

[@66gattaca]

I love the way Ale says you have a few thousandths of a second to make a decision, then runs through all the things he considers in that fraction of time....and he really does! Brilliant to have a guest like that, detail from him and perfect summary - now to put it into practice....well we can dream! 😊

[@ThePadelSchool]

Haha, he makes it sound easy...in reality it isn't quite so simple for us mere mortals haha

[@giomutti]

Que locura, esperaba un video técnico y terminó siendo una clase maestra. Gracias por el buen trabajo.

[@ThePadelSchool]

Gracias!! Tratando de ofrecer lo mejor de la información ;)

[@harpagon2001]

What a nice surprise! Congrats for you work fron a spanish subscriber. I learn so much

[@ThePadelSchool]

Happy to hear that! Muchas Gracias!!

[@cookjeremiah]

There are so many things that they think about so quickly , it is incredible. I’m sure it becomes natural for them at some point and they don’t think about it but super impressive all of the considerations that go through their mind. Definitely a different level of play. Great work as usual Sandy

[@ThePadelSchool]

Thanks Jeremiah, yeah, their thought process is seriously impressive!

[@brammelvin]

These world tour players have such skill and insight. It´s amazing. But it takes a very talented instructor like yourself to break these insights down to their composing parts and make them cristal clear to us, amateur players. Stripped from too much complicating nuance but without oversimplifying. I like the way you are doing that in all your videos. That´s some great teaching.

[@ThePadelSchool]

Thank you! That is my aim, to break down the complexities of technique and tactics to help all players learn the game. So nice to get the insight from the top though too!

Amazing Sandy! Alejandro Galan is an amazing player and a gentleman both in and out of the court. Congratulations on his win at the Santander Open! Great tips and analysis from both of you. Even though I didn't need the translation, I appreciate the time and effort you put into adding it. Keep it up!

Thanks for this channel! I live in Spain, but my Spanish isn't good enough to learn from the Spanish resources. I started playing a couple of months ago, but I made big improvements in the last two weeks that I have watched your channel. I have pointed my playing group towards your channel as well, although that might make it more difficult for me :-)

[@asdfsson1222]

This is great information. However at lower level people are making random decisions all the time on the court which makes it so much harder to anticipate whats coming. Some opponents do awful smashes from the back of the court which they shouldn't be doing, so you're not ready to go forward when it comes. But over the course of a set or two sets you can see their tendencies. Especially in Sweden people play very randomly and not according to "padel theory". Great Video, Vamos Ale!

[@ThePadelSchool]

This is true and it can seem chaotic, but always good to understand the tactics of what should happen!

[@leandertaelman9252]

I like the way those players are thinking about shot decision. They are thinking way ahead. The shot selection is mostly based on the position of the opponents. Also, do not try to cover the risky option.

[@ThePadelSchool]

It is like a game of chess, thinking moves ahead and always considering the percentage chances...

[@leandertaelman9252]

@@ThePadelSchool and with their positioning, their buying themselve so much time that they still have a lot of options before taking the decision.

[@stevenhjlund5619]

Always great videos - but to improve you could use a directional mic or a lavalier mic as the sound is pretty bad when you are away from the camera interviewing.

[@ThePadelSchool]

I have a lavalier mic usually, I just didn’t have 2…and didn’t want to invade personal space! Haha

[@ThePadelSchool]

I used a shotgun mic for this but noticed it wasn’t as good as I’d hope.

[@sebabonilla2427]

It’s too bad...if I knew Ale Galán was in your channel I ask you how to run forward to hitting the ball at the net avoiding being hit by it, since Galán is one of the best recovering balls. It seems I collect bruises every match. My wife asks me If I play paddel or karate. Thanks again for the knowledge you share with us.

[@ThePadelSchool]

Hahaha, like you are going paint balling each time?! You are being hit after recovering a smash? Or running forward from a dropshot? Galan does so much really well I could've asked him loads of questions!!

[@sebabonilla2427]

First case, after recovering a smash

[@TheRealBlueSwan]

Hottest guy in padel right there! But I guess Galan looks pretty good as well.

[@ThePadelSchool]

😂😂

[@AbdulAziz-ii3qc]

It was very hard to pick up what he was explaining visually, it would have been much better if as he was explaining an animation on the side would run with a court and showing what he meant.

[@ThePadelSchool]

Thanks for your feedback

[@leifseger]

Personally I find it much more interesting listen to tactical advice from a skilled player that does not move as well. Galan's positioning is very different from amateurs and taking after him is not a good idea for most of us.

[@ThePadelSchool]

Thanks for the comment Leif. No worries, more tactical advice coming soon
