Subscribe to Throwing Fits on Substack. RIP la capra Italiana. This week, Jimmy and Larry are paying homage to boxer style shorts, wearing the band tee to the funeral, when to bust out the Paraboots, cotton-linen blends, dumpy diaper butt pants, adult acne, remembering the one and only Giorgio Armani and his immeasurable influence, how archivists and mood boarders are moving in response to the news, ruminating on contemporary collective grief over a celebrity death, Lawrence finally saw Oasis live at MetLife Stadium and it lived up to his impossibly high expectations and he could probably talk about it forever to be honest so forgive him as he gets a little emotional, what even is Padel, Kith is opening up a member's only club in NYC and bringing Erewhon and a bunch of other sponsors with them (including Armani) so let's break it all down since it's gonna cost you $36,000/year, luxury hammam handjobs, you might've heard that SSENSE filed for bankruptcy protection but how did we get here and what might happen next, and much more.

How do you win your next Americano? Whether it's a social rotation at your club or a competitive mix-in, everyone's chasing that elusive goal — finishing on the top court.In this episode, Sandy and Tom break down exactly how to give yourself the best chance. From building instant rapport with new partners (think “speed dating on a padel court”) to navigating side choices without awkwardness, they share simple ways to start strong. They also dive into the tactical side: how to stay patient under timed pressure, avoid the frantic rush when points feel scarce, and use smart, low-risk padel to keep climbing courts.

In this episode, Sandy and Tom are back together after busy weeks of training and travel — including Sandy's three-week road trip across the US to explore padel in Charlotte, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. They dive into how the sport is developing in America, the challenges clubs face when they're the only ones in their region, and what that means for the game's growth.From there, the discussion shifts to a big question: which racket sports give players the best foundation for padel? Drawing on examples from tennis, squash, pickleball, platform tennis, and even badminton, they break down how different skills transfer, the habits that help (or hurt), and which backgrounds allow players to adapt the fastest.Whether you're a tennis player curious about trying padel, a squash player wondering if your patience will pay off, or simply a fan of how racket sports connect, this conversation is full of insights, stories, and takeaways that apply to club players as much as aspiring pros.EXPLORE OUR OFFERS: The Padel School Membership (with FREE Trial) Access 75+ Drills for Every Level: TPS Drill Book For Players Our BOOK - The Padel Player's Guide Win Matches with a Stronger Mindset: Get our Mental Toughness Course  FREE Equipment Guide: https://improve.thepadelschool.com/equipment-guide FREE Padel Assessment for YOUR game: https://improve.thepadelschool.com/padel-assessment  YouTube –    / thepadelschool Instagram -   / thepadelschool  Facebook:   / thepadelschool  Read our blogs: https://thepadelschool.com/blog/ Ready to level up your padel?

Sports Geek Rapid Rundown is a daily sports business podcast curated by Sports Geek Reads. We publish it on Sports Geek twice per week. In this episode: Explore the AFL's evolution into a 'national behemoth' with Tasmania joining in 2028, the NBA's European expansion vision potentially delaying US team growth, and how padel is positioning itself as the 'golf of the next generation' for high-earning millennials - all curated by Sports Geek Reads. Subscribe at https://sportsgeekhq.com/rapidrundown.

This episode explores whether the modern millennial's embrace of stoicism, rigorous health routines, and padel reflects a genuine search for meaning or a set of coping mechanisms that ultimately fall short. Has the rise of self-discipline and structured lifestyles created a more resilient generation, or has it led to a quiet sense of emptiness masked by routine?We examine the social and psychological roots of these trends, asking whether the appeal of ancient philosophy, physical optimisation, and curated leisure is a response to instability or a retreat from vulnerability and connection.

Merci à mon partenaire de coeur (depuis 7 ans) : Payfit ❤️Pourquoi j'ai arrêté de penser à la paie (et pourquoi c'est une bonne chose)En tant que fondateur, t'as déjà 1000 choses dans la tête.Recruter, vendre, gérer la prod, les clients, les galères…Mais y'a une charge mentale sournoise qu'on oublie trop souvent : la paie.Et crois-moi, quand tu dois : → envoyer un .csv de notes de frais,→ calculer les congés à la main,→ appeler ton expert-comptable pour valider une DSN,Tu perds un temps fou, tu stresses, et tu t'éloignes de ton vrai job.C'est pour ça que j'ai choisi PayFit dès le début de Kymono en 2016.Parce qu'avec eux, j'ai délégué sans perdre le contrôle :→ Paie + RH automatisées→ Paiement des salaires en 1 clic via Qonto→ IA + humain à dispo 7j/7Résultat : moins d'erreurs, moins de stress, plus de bande passante mentale.

In this episode of Life Along the Streetcar, we dive into the inspiring journey of Riva Mackie, a world-ranked padel athlete whose passion for the game spans continents and decades. From her early racquet-sport roots in Canada to intensive training in Monaco and years on the competitive circuit, Riva has lived and breathed padel. Now, that passion has a new home, The Pad Tucson, a state-of-the-art indoor racket sports club located in the heart of Downtown. But The Pad is more than just a venue. It's Riva's mission in motion: a place to introduce Tucsonans to the global sensation of padel, to build community through movement, and to lower the barriers to play for people of all backgrounds and abilities. We talk with Riva about: - Her unexpected journey from camper-living athlete to Tucson entrepreneur - Why she chose Tucson over a dozen other cities across the U.S. - The rise of padel and pickleball, and how they're changing the social fabric of downtown life - How The Pad blends sport, socializing, and fun to create something entirely new Whether you're a lifelong athlete or just racket-curious, this story might just inspire your next serve.

durée : 00:01:54 - Le grand format - C'est le revers du padel. Ce sport de raquette très à la mode est aussi très bruyant.

In this episode, Tom and Sandy dive into the power of routines both on and off the court, and why they're such a crucial part of achieving peak performance. While many players think of routines only as warm-ups before a match, there's so much more to it.They explore the importance of pre-match preparation, but also the routines within points and games—what you do between points, how you reset, and how these habits keep your mind clear and your focus sharp.Because at the end of the day, when you perform at your best, you give yourself the best chance to win more matches—which is what every player wants.

Sean spoke to Padel boss Sam Kemp from R3 Sports, Women's football consultant Andrea Ekblad and sportswear company MandM Chairman Mike Tomkins

I had the pleasure of interviewing Joe Middleton, a seasoned professional in the apparel industry who's now making waves in the world of paddle tennis with his brand, Pulco. Joe shared his journey from playing cricket and field hockey to working for Levi's and Canterbury, before retiring and then unexpectedly diving into the paddle tennis market. He identified a gap in the sport's apparel and set out to create a brand that reflects the unique culture of paddle tennis. Joe emphasized the importance of understanding consumer needs, developing innovative fabrics to address sweat issues, and crafting a distinct brand identity separate from traditional tennis wear. He discussed Pulco's global expansion strategy, focusing on key cities worldwide rather than a country-by-country approach. Joe's passion for the sport and his commitment to creating a brand that embodies the addictive nature of paddle tennis shone through our conversation, leaving me excited about the future of both Pulco and the sport itself.

In this episode of The On Par Podcast, host Drew DiAlberto welcomes entrepreneur and golf enthusiast Joe Gross, co-founder of The Advance Group and Paddle Lux.

If you want to support, and learn, you can donate hereShow notesThis week on The Spotlight, we put big claims, bold performances, and comeback stories under the microscope.In Discourse Digest (00:00), we discuss why Beatrice Chebet's near-world record 5000m is not a miss, just a delay. Then we shift to the French Open, where Carlos Alcaraz outlasted Jannik Sinner in a classic. Gareth asks whether Sinner's loss might be exactly what tennis (and Sinner) needed, and how their rivalry and reputations will shape the sport's next era.Listener Lens (15:50) features a question from listener Simon, returning from an injury-enforced layoff. Ross offers guidance on regaining lost fitness, why retraining happens faster than we think (the 1:2 rule of thumb), and why doing less will eventually give you the right to do more.Center Stage (22:34) is all about carbs, fat, and fuel—sparked by a tweet from Prof Tim Noakes after the Comrades Marathon. Having watched the race, Noakes claimed that “not a single lead athlete tried to ingest 90–120g/hour of carbohydrates,” and that they “know they don't need carbs to win Comrades” because “fat can provide essentially all the required energy.” We put those claims under the Spotlight, and checked with the elites. Turns out, they were targeting exactly those carb intakes. We explore the science and discover a huge capacity to increase fat oxidation as a function of diet, training and exercise intensity. But that doesn't mean carbs don't matter - we dig into evidence that carbs improve performance, delay fatigue, and enhance recovery. The real problem? Extremes. Whether it's high carb or no carb, just because you can doesn't mean you should.And finally (53:44)—Padel and Pickleball are booming. Why are they so popular, and will they dethrone tennis as the world's favourite racket sport?LinksThe article Gareth discusses about Sinner's loss being a win for tennisExample of a study where retraining restores strength to pre-detraining levels in half the time taken to lose them (note this is a study on strength, but the principle remains)Our Podcast interview with Louise Burke, where she explains everything you need to know about fats and carbs, and why fat underperforms as a fuelThe Podlogar study discussed on the show, where we don't burn all the ingested carbohydratesBurke's race walker study, with fat oxidation rates three times higher after fat adaptation, but with reduced economy and impaired performance benefitsVolek's study on fat adapted distance runners, also showing huge fat oxidation capacity Hosted on Acast.
