The Rafa Nadal Academy continues to strengthen its commitment to padel with the launch of its new Annual Padel Program<\/strong>, an innovative holistic development program designed to become a global benchmark for young players looking to maximize both their sporting and academic potential.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Inspired by the successful Annual Tennis Program model<\/a><\/strong>, the new program brings to padel the philosophy that has made the Rafa Nadal Academy one of the world’s most prestigious high-performance training centers: sporting excellence, international academic education, and a values-based approach built around effort, humility, resilience, respect, and discipline.<\/p>\n\n

What makes this project truly unique is the combination of several key differentiators that are hard to find anywhere else in the world: a training methodology led by Rodri Ovide, one of the most influential coaches in international padel; top-level facilities designed to optimise player performance; a multidisciplinary team of strength and conditioning coaches, nutritionists, psychologists and physiotherapists; and the opportunity to combine athletic development with an international education on campus.<\/p>\n\n

The Rodri Ovide methodology: learn to compete, decide and evolve<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The new programme will be built around the methodology developed by Rodri Ovide<\/strong><\/a>, coach to some of the best players in padel history and the driving force behind the development of leading figures such as Gemma Triay, Juan Lebr\u00f3n, Paquito Navarro, Mart\u00edn Di Nenno, \u00c1lex Ruiz, Alejandra Salazar and Marta Ortega.<\/p>\n\n

His working model focuses on developing players who can read the game, make better decisions and compete under pressure, enhancing each athlete\u2019s individual strengths.<\/p>\n\n

“The foundation of my method is to develop players who enjoy learning. It\u2019s not about copying models, but about helping each player discover the best version of themselves. We want them to learn how to compete, how to make decisions and how to understand the game from a deeper perspective,”<\/em> explains Rodri Ovide.<\/p>\n\n
