Absolutely Gold man! One of your best videos ever in my opinion. One thing is perhaps missing. If your partner always stays back when you play a chiquita. Keep doing content like this! thumbs up
Sven, not really related to this video, but maybe you can help with the mental aspect of the below. We are frequently experiencing following situation. We play against opponents which are obviously lower level then us, which we should beat without too much issues. We start the game well, typically we quickly lead 3 or 4 to 0. We also get confirmation in our minds that we are the better team. And then it begins, not sure what it is of the below or a combination of all - we loose concentration - we become over confident - we start making unforced errors - we start trying fancy shots This then makes our game/level only slightly better then the opponents and we make it difficult for ourselves, put again stress in the game, battling for points. As a consequence we start losing points and games, therefore try to force points, leading to unforced errors and again losing points, and we start spiralling down in level. We then typically still win the first set, 6 to 3 or so, because we were already ahead. But then second set become more challenging and sometimes even loose it. In the end, we overall still win, but it is a fight/challenge. Where we normally should win, lets say 6-2, 6-1, we then only win with 6-3, 7-5 or so. We adapt our level to the level of the opponent bringing us in trouble, instead of taking control of the game and just do our thing and win it easily. Any tips, guidance on how we can avoid this? Thanks
I struggle when a team mate calls out "yours" the split second prior to me hitting the ball when they are 3+ meters away and never in a position to play the shot themselves. Breaks my concentration. Also when a team mate does not cover the centre and assumes it is my responsibility to cover as well as the line when they are serving or when they play diagonally and not then move towards the centre. 😮
what a great video! From the title I thought it would be it would be a more behavioural content but I was happily surprised that it was more on the tactics side. Thanks! You should continue posting more tactics videos
Interesting points Sven! I wonder how many pairs go into a match with no plan at all, just make it up as they go along? And always be positive, play with a grin to win!
Great video again Sven! I like the tactical videos. Maybe you can make some in dept video(s) about court position in various situations (also with left handed player on the right) and some shot combinations like a chiquita and followed by a volley. Thanks in advance! Greetings from Holland
Great video! One annoying thing your partner can do is when we’re both at net and the ball is lobbed behind me, they yell “I’ve got it!” and run behind you. Now we’re both on one side of the court, and the opponents just have to play to the other corner/fence for an easy win.
Thank you for the tips and clear explanations, Sven! I like my partner when they tell me where they are going to serve (and serve there). It may sound like a small thing but I’ve noticed it helps knowing where the next ball is going to come and I can adjust my net position accordingly.
How can 1 + 1 be more than 2? This video explains how a padel team can be stronger than just the sum of the individual players. Very useful, very recommended! Bamos!
Great video Sven, I really love padel, I started taking it more seriously over the last year, taking lessons, playing more matches and of course the free lessons that you share here are helping out greatly. I feel like i'm getting a little bit better every time at the positioning and the correct shot choices for certain situations. Communicating with your partner really helps a lot. This summer I started playing tournaments and I already won some with a few different partners! Thanks for the video, it's always exciting to get a notification when you publish a new one!
Great video, thank you very much. We play mixte with my wife and a couple friend regularly. Equal level between men and equal level between our women lower than us men. I have difficulty communicating positively with my wife so this video will help, thank you. Any tips for mixte couple playing together?
Players that: - Get angry with themselves and like to express it. - Are dishonest. - Do not hold themselves accountable. (Blame you for losing a point, for say not reaching a smash, when it was their shot that directly resulted in that situation). - Constantly experiment or force points especially at inappropriate times (golden points) ... Worse still if they repeatedly try the same thing and it's clearly not working. If they attempt the right shot at the right time and it fails, then no problem. - Have very little patience when building points. - Refuse to learn/Know-it-all. (Edit: tidy up)
There’s a lot to stress about 😂 Playing with a lot of different people have illustrated the following negativities for me ; 1) The Pro; every ball they hit must be a winner (more out/net/glass balls than winning) 2) The whiner , complains about himself all the time of breezes when you make an error (even when you make less errors than him) 3) Demoralized, already gives away the game after losing 1 set. 4) The apologizer, for every thing saying sorry Bottom line, focus on your game and try to be as best as possible with a minimum of unforced errors. Keep a positive mindset for you and your partner and help eachother out physically and mentally ! 🤙😎
Hey, I didn't like the video. I loved it, i think it's good to express hatred towards your partner when they screw up 😂. On a serious note , your videos are brilliant , love how you preserve the spirit of padel and keeping the fun whilst challenging people like myself to improve. We are heading out to Amsterdam for the WPT, from Hertfordshire in the UK. Maybe see you there! Nii
Hi Sven. Thomas here from Copenhagen .. I’m a huge fan of your videos.. played for 1 year now and improved a lot thanks to your tips.. - hope to see / meet you in Copenhagen one day
the explanation the forbidden angle was really very helpful, thanks Sven ! btw I had sent a mail regarding a request for training a week ago, but have not received any feedback yet.
Great video again! I'm gonna play this afternoon and enjoy some perfect padel weather today here in the Netherlands. Lets see of i can make my padel partner happy. Famos!!
Wonderful videos. Just subscribed ti the Channel. I hate when my partner is always silent, he doesn't speak but you can see that he's angry inside. he makes me feel uncomfortable.
The most annoying I think is when your partner is a "betweter" (english translate to smart ass I guess) and keeps commenting on you. The other one is someone is calling you with every shot on his side of the court because of mispositioning.
Hi and thx for this content. I usually am very soft in saying things to the mat h partner but what I don't really like in a partner is the persistence in making the same errors and don't reasoning on ways to avoid same errors.
My current partner is just great.. But what I really hated about a previous partner was that he was so competitive that whenever there was a doubt the ball was in or out he always claimed the point for himself. If the other three players told him different or we chose to call a let he got really upset about it.
I would add let your partner practice in game situations. Not every game is competitive and we all need the chance to practice new techniques in match play
When you notice a flaw in your teammates plays and say hey try to do it this way but they aggressively say “no i like it this way” and proceed to give points away.
Could you do a video just on when to hit cross or straight in different scenarios because it feels like we lose points from our choices and we could learn better patterns of play
And biggest asset in the partner is when they know when to play soft and when to play hard, so not always keeping same speed on all the balls regardless of where the opponents are and how they are playing.
Told my random tournamentpartner today that she will love me after our game, used your tips, happily dating now. Thanks Sven! T-shirt of les met jou zou wel heel gaaf zijn :D
Tnx Sven, What I don't like is that my partner is telling me what kind of ball I have to hit/play in stead of telling me where the opponents are positioned.
@@OtroNivelPadel Or they tell lob, with your back to the opponents, you don't know where they are on the court, sometimes the bounce of the ball don't allow a good lob.
Ace. Of all your videos for team mentality 'this is the one' (as some bloke called Sven would say). We'll be discussing this one for sure. You're a generous bloke Sven, giving up your time and putting so much effort into content. Thanks. (Is this comment good enough to win the trip to the padel finals? If not I'll just take the TP racket and a pair of Sven boxers 🤗Clean ones....just to be clear.
Yet again a helpful video!! Since I started playing Padel last July, I have become obsessed with your videos on the Otro Nivel channel and IG page! Thanks for all the helpful tips and your low-level and fun explanations. I truly believe that this is helping me become a better padel player👏 Greetings from Katwijk
Great video always. Funny and informative. A few good tips to try. A couple of other things that can make a game less enjoyable. Angry partner. I have played in pay and play games where someone went for a few smashes, missed hit the net. ( everytime ) and decided to smash up their racquet. Have played in a game where we had to wait because someone was too busy standing in the corner shouting at themselves. We Padel play padel for fun ( well most of us )...... 🤔unless its me upsetting people 😂
Amazing content Sven. With your free lessons I feel like I'm always improving on every aspect of the game. Thanks for that! Greetings from Portugal SIUUU!
Absolutely Gold man! One of your best videos ever in my opinion. One thing is perhaps missing. If your partner always stays back when you play a chiquita. Keep doing content like this! thumbs up
Yes! Thats very annoying! Thank you man!
Great video Sven!
Sometimes padel is frustrating and you let the emotions get the best of you, wich affects you and your partner. Thanks for the tips!
Yes, but you can train yourself to become mentally stronger
Sven, not really related to this video, but maybe you can help with the mental aspect of the below.
We are frequently experiencing following situation.
We play against opponents which are obviously lower level then us, which we should beat without too much issues.
We start the game well, typically we quickly lead 3 or 4 to 0.

Ahh, yes makes sense!
Negativity is the worst! Let me rephrase, positivity is the best! 😊❤
Very well postive formulated sentence!
Definitely negativity is the worst!
We had to stop a match because it got heated.. no fun and lame sportman ship
Thats not good!
Interesting points Sven! I wonder how many pairs go into a match with no plan at all, just make it up as they go along? And always be positive, play with a grin to win!
So many! Without a plan you will not improve!
If only smashing wasn’t the most fun on the padel court😢😂
Hahaha

Ouch, yes thats not effective
Like for the joke on pickleball :D

I Understand, its better to focus on the tactics and stay away from right or wrong
Players that:
- Get angry with themselves and like to express it.
- Are dishonest.
- Do not hold themselves accountable. (Blame you for losing a point, for say not reaching a smash, when it was their shot that directly resulted in that situation).
- Constantly experiment or force points especially at inappropriate times (golden points) ... Worse still if they repeatedly try the same thing and it's clearly not working. If they attempt the right shot at the right time and it fails, then no problem.
- Have very little patience when building points.
- Refuse to learn/Know-it-all.

Wonderful videos. Just subscribed ti the Channel. I hate when my partner is always silent, he doesn't speak but you can see that he's angry inside. he makes me feel uncomfortable.
Thanks for the sub! Hmm.. Yes thats complicated
I liked this video a lot. It's more about tactics here and that's what I was looking for. Keep it up! Vamos!
Great to hear!
Great video and tips 😊
Playing well is mandatory... but it's better to have a partner who plays well
Yes it is!
Thank you. Great video as always! Love from Porto, Portugal.
Obrigado!
Do those tactical padel racquets play as good as they look? If so, I might have to break my piggy bank!
Haha, yes they are fenomonal
The most annoying I think is when your partner is a "betweter" (english translate to smart ass I guess) and keeps commenting on you. The other one is someone is calling you with every shot on his side of the court because of mispositioning.
Yes 🤣 totally agree! The coach kinda player
Negativity is the worst i guess as well. Also playing fast al the time is the worst for your teammate as well. Good tips Sven!
Thanks Merlijn!
Really great video!
Vamos Sven. If I lose let me play a game with you and my friends in which you smash everything.
Haha 💪🏼
You said they give away is worth 1500€, but i think it's priceless! 😅
💪🏼💪🏼
Great video, my girlfriend always tell me that I am a terrible padel partner, I wish this video will save our relationship.
Ooh shit 🤣 I hope it does too!
I am not sure I want to win sitting next to someone who talks all the time during a WPT match. But the other prizes sound lovely !
Hahaha, super 🤣

I cant choose between the 1st class acting or the tips you provide. Otro Nivel je weet wel. 🎉
Haha, genieten
I would add let your partner practice in game situations. Not every game is competitive and we all need the chance to practice new techniques in match play
Yes! Very good point!
Super tips and really important strategies to take my padel game to the next level. Thank you!
Thank you too!
Great video as always! Although I miss German...
German is coming soon!
Thanks Sven! I will be using at least half of these tips when i play tomorrow night.
Super! Great to hear!
When you notice a flaw in your teammates plays and say hey try to do it this way but they aggressively say “no i like it this way” and proceed to give points away.
Haha yes, that is not good!
Great video! I'm gonna play my first tourney soon, hope I can be a good teammate!
Good luck!
I don't like it if we have the net position and my partner starts moving backwards as soon as the opponents move forward
Yes thats not good!
Thanks for the video Sven. Congrats to Bart and team on the new club
Thanks man!
Could you do a video just on when to hit cross or straight in different scenarios because it feels like we lose points from our choices and we could learn better patterns of play
Yes great idea!
Thanks. Helps explain those moments where we lose points from being on top - would like more of these vids please
Will do!
To me, it's to not follow the plan. If we dont play as agreed, then we're only reacting to our opponents!
Yes, thats super disappointing
When you are lobbed and you say that your opponent right is back… is it your right or opponents right?
Well.. everybody says something different. I useally mean my opponent playing on the right side
so true about the net one... I have almost a black list. I dont care if you fail a shot, but always go to the net after a serve.
Yes! Play the game 😃
Very interesting video, quite relevant tactical information
Thanks Carlos
And biggest asset in the partner is when they know when to play soft and when to play hard, so not always keeping same speed on all the balls regardless of where the opponents are and how they are playing.
Yes! That is a massive improvement!
Thanks Sven!
Really good tips and insights :)
Thank you 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
