Thibault Lalouette
+400 hours of training with 40 Spanish coaches & academies
Lille (France)
Background / Career
If you are looking in France for a coach 100% dedicated to padel, trained in Spain—and not coming from a tennis background—Thibault Lalouette is a must-know option. In just five years of intensive practice and over 300 hours of training in Spain, he has built a unique teaching method, shaped by direct experience with more than forty Spanish and Argentine coaches.
Since 2020, he has multiplied his trips to Spain: nearly 20 training camps and certifications, in more than 15 different cities, meeting renowned local coaches, each with their own sensitivity and approach. This journey has allowed him to compile the most effective drills, the clearest visual cues, and the most impactful tactical advice. Unlike many French-speaking instructors who come from tennis, Thibault learned padel “the Spanish way”, progressing step by step: from beginner player, to intermediate, to advanced, before training as a coach for high-level players within Spanish academies working with professionals.
He also created a conference entitled “Play with your head rather than your racket”, focused on tactical fundamentals. It serves as a true guide for new players who want to progress quickly, even without prior racket-sport experience. The idea: enabling everyone to enjoy the game early by understanding game systems and competing smartly against technically stronger opponents. In his view, padel is at least 70% tactics and 30% technique—though mastering direction and depth control are absolutely essential.
In parallel, Thibault obtained his official Padel Instructor diploma (TFP) from the French Federation, and today he shares his expertise with players of all levels, from beginners to competitive athletes, through his padel lessons in Lille.

Why choose this coach ?
Thibault Lalouette has developed a highly effective teaching approach shaped by both observation and experience. Over the years, he has identified the most common mistakes made by beginners and created simple corrective exercises supported by clear, visual explanations to make learning easier.
He also specializes in helping former tennis players — who make up a large part of new padel enthusiasts — replace old habits with the right technical and tactical reflexes. Thibault drew inspiration from professional tour coaches by closely observing top players such as Paquito Navarro and Ari Sánchez, learning how to structure high-performance training sessions.
Beyond his role as a coach, Thibault is also the director of ToPadel, the leading padel training provider in Spain, welcoming over 1,500 players every year. This experience has given him deep insight into the training methods of some of the greatest Spanish coaches, including :
• Ángel González, coach of world No. 1 Ari Sánchez and winner of the 2023 Coach of the Year Award
• Ramiro Choya, former Spanish national coach and mentor to Paquito Navarro, who helped define modern padel teaching principles
He has also worked alongside nearly ten Premier Padel circuit coaches — many of whom are national team selectors for countries such as Sweden, Germany, England, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.
Today, through the creation of CoachMyPadel.com, Thibault shares this rich, Spanish-influenced expertise with French-speaking players. The result: a clear, structured, and accessible coaching method that delivers the best of international padel training — in French.

He has been a certified national coach since 2009, giving him over 15 years of coaching experience. Ángel joined the Premier Padel circuit as a coach in 2019.

It was with her that he gained recognition as a top coach on the circuit during the 2022 season. Together, they won in Aragon, reached a Masters final in Marbella, and numerous semi-finals in Reus, Alicante, Stockholm, and more.
In 2023, when Ari Sánchez aimed to become world number 1, she invited Ángel to join her in Barcelona for the season. In their first season together, they achieved the long-awaited title, and Ángel was named Coach of the Year 2023 at the World Padel Awards in Madrid in January 2024.

Jorge Bellmont
+20 years of experience / Premier Padel coach (J. Rico, A. Soriano, B. Las Heras)
Valence (Spain)
Background / Career
Jorge’s passion for racket sports goes back to his earliest years — at just three years old, he was already swinging a tennis racket. A few years later, in 1999, he discovered padel and quickly devoted himself to it, as this still-emerging sport in Spain became a true passion. From then on, padel would become his lifelong vocation.
Determined to make it his profession, he obtained his professional coaching license and steadily built up his experience. He first stood out as the coach and selector of the University of Valencia team, then at the prestigious Club Español de Tenis in Rocafort-Valencia, one of the most renowned clubs in the region. He later entered the professional circuit, coaching players on the World Padel Tour and Premier Padel. Among them were brothers Javi and Josete Rico, also from Valencia, whom he supported as they broke into the world’s top 30. On the women’s side, he coached Arantxa Soriano and Bárbara Las Heras, the latter having reached the women’s top 20.
In 2021, Jorge took a new step by opening his own padel academy. That same year, he was appointed head coach of the Qatar national team for the World Championships. His expertise then caught the attention of Saudi Arabia, which recruited him to lead its national squad.
Today, based in Valencia at one of the largest indoor clubs in the world, Jorge runs his academy, where amateur players from across the globe, young Spanish talents, and established professionals train side by side. A highly adaptable coach with impeccable English, he shares top-level insights with players of every background and level.

Why choose this coach ?
Jorge is such a highly regarded coach not only because of his international experience, but above all thanks to his unique ability to communicate in a clear and accessible way. Where others may simply explain, Jorge always goes further : he finds the right metaphor, the vivid image, or the practical little “tip” that allows the player to immediately understand what needs to be done.
Whether it’s about mastering a technical movement, feeling a specific sensation, or grasping the essence of a tactical choice, Jorge always has that memorable trick that turns learning into a breakthrough moment. His teaching approach—simple, clear, and effective—helps his students progress quickly and apply in matches what they learn in training without difficulty.
If one had to sum him up, Jorge would be a true “box of tips”: every analysis and every session with him offers practical and memorable keys that genuinely change the way players experience the game.

Jesús Cañal de la Prida
+20 years of experience, Premier Padel Circuit
Madrid (Spain)
PROFILE / BACKGROUND
Jesús, nicknamed “Xule” (pronounced “choo-lé”), discovered padel while pursuing his higher education in physical education. Twenty-two years ago, he fell in love with this sport, both fun and capable of captivating anyone who tries it. Padel also has a strong social dimension, bringing players together during and after matches. From that moment, he began training, competing, and improving in every aspect of padel—not only in gameplay but especially in teaching, as his studies prepared him to make sport his profession.
Jesús is a highly experienced coach, not only in padel but also very attentive to physical preparation. Physical conditioning becomes increasingly important as you advance in the sport: professional players spend nearly half their time or more in the gym rather than on the padel court. “Xule” pays close attention to this aspect in addition to technical and tactical analysis.
If you want a coach who can also provide the right physical exercises alongside padel, Xule is the one you need.

Analysis by our coach Xule
WHY CHOOSE THIS COACH ?
The key is to be ready to learn and work. You must have an open mind to the unique culture of padel, which has its own rules compared to other racket sports. Naturally, having some talent with a racket will help. “Xule” (Jesús) coaches players on the Premier Padel circuit, including the young player Agueda Perez, who at 18 has already reached the Top 50 in the world.
According to him, the most important aspects of padel are making good decisions, avoiding errors, being patient, and not rushing. These principles are reflected in the analyses and exercises he provides remotely through Coach My Padel from Madrid, his city of residence.
