We recently caught up with VIBEPADEL sponsored GB Professional padel player, Jake Bewley, currently ranked 9 in the FIP rankings within the UK as well as being the Head Coach of PDL Padel United UK for a quickfire interview.
What sparked your passion for padel?
My passion for padel was sparked by the fact it was a new sport and its just so addictive! As soon as you step on court you don’t want to stop playing!
What are your goals for padel?
The most important thing for me right now is to represent my country and spread the awareness of the sport around the UK.
What is your best padel tip?
One thing I always say is don't try and win the point, just get one more ball over than the other team! That's all you've got to think about.
What is your best advice for young players?
I think getting on court as much as possible, playing as many tournaments as you can and matches, as well as playing with higher level players will help you improve so much quicker.
What are the best mental tips when playing?
Going onto court with the same attitude no matter who you are playing. If you are playing someone better or worse it doesn’t matter! Go on with the same attitude that you want to win.
Why do you like the VIBEPADEL grips?
The grips are great! You don't have to do any cutting and so they are perfect for a padel racket. They are super thin, super tacky, really nice to play with and they last a long time!
