I want to see Jake play seriously. He his so smooth. Cool video. As a fat amn in my late thirties with a new hip, I also just started padel.... love it!
So smooth man, sometimes the tournaments he plays are streamed on YT. If you follow him on IG you will get all the updates for it 😎 awesome that you’ve found Padel and love it!
Ah very cool! Pretty similar to me…played tennis since I was young, found a Padel a couple years back and haven’t played tennis since pretty much 😂 I’ve literally betrayed tennis
Yeah, Jake has an awesome technique and posture and just seems like freewheeling a bit and that he can play a few skill levels higher if he feels like :D
Hi James, fellow player at Rocket Ilford here, enjoyed the video and the commentary, and love that you’re doing this! As a dude in his mid 30s I can relate. Excited to watch your progress. Hope to play you some time.
Fellow leftie here mate....when close to the middle play towards the right corner. It drives right handed players crazy. Vibora is cool and all, but play a flat slow bandeja cross court when not comfortable :)
Earned a subscription from me 👍 similar story. I’m a Brit living in LA. 39 and also lost like 100lbs in the last few years and recently discovered padel out here
Hey James great video The editing and the overall video is great My only observation is that you talk about yourself in a downgrading way which is unhealthy For example when you don’t play your vibora low you called it horrendous You got to give your self space for improvement and try to be a bit more like I should work on that instead of calling it bad(even though it was at this situation) There is some Federer/nadal videos talking about self talk during the game which are amazing on that kind of thinking Overall keep up the good work Hope we can have a game at some point if I visit the uk Cheers
Thanks so much for the comment! Really appreciate you taking the time to say what you said too… Yeah I don’t disagree with you in essence based on what you’ve said, maybe if I improve on that it could be something that helps my level of tentativeness in matches maybe? When it comes to myself I am a pretty critical person, I think there is some lack of confidence hidden in there somewhere Thanks for noticing - appreciate it 😊
The video shows every time you played on the back hand of your diagonal opponent your scored or had an easy ball to end the point. However most of the points are not on the back hand ;)
Loved the video. Cannot wait to see the rest of the journey.
Thank you!! Appreciate you saying that 😎
So relatable and inspiring! Wishing you the best on your journey-keep it up!
Legend! Thanks so much 😊
Amazing video man! Very inspiring to see your transformation and loving the your analysis of the game. Would like to see more!
Thanks so much! Really appreciate that - more coming for sure 😎
Unreal mate🤩, always a pleasure💪🫡
Legend dude… appreciate it 😎
No way! I was edge of my seat for that 5-4 point at the tie break!!! Amazing stuff!!
Aha that’s what I wanted to hear! Really awesome 💪🏾

Ooh well done James! Paula we met at the padel school Ilford, I’m addicted too!!
Thanks Paula, so addictive isn’t it! Hope to see you with the Padel School guys in the new year 🎾
Seen a video of you pop up in the padel school community, good on you for still trying to improve every possible way when ur already ranked #200!
Thanks so much…level gap from myself to the top guys is mammoth! Gotta work on it all 😅
Enjoyed the video and had a few laughs aswell! Would've been nice to hear the feedback from the other players too. Subscribed!
Awesome! Glad you had an enjoyable time watching it! Yep that’s a completely fair bit of feedback, appreciate you sharing it
Great vlog James 🎾

Good to see a bit of Garrons park!
Ah yeah! You play down there?
great video, like you vibora
Thank you!! Appreciate that a lot 😎
Great video - the music is a bit much though :-)
Thanks! Appreciate you sharing your thoughts too 😎

@ it’s not about being critical of yourself it’s about building confidence though speech not tearing yourself down though the speech
Which level is this?
Do you mean level as in what rating?
@@MyPadelJourney Yes please?
We are all super varied tbh, Jake and Sam are GB pros so on the higher end. I haven’t been officially rated yet, but I’m guessing between 4-4.5
The video shows every time you played on the back hand of your diagonal opponent your scored or had an easy ball to end the point.
However most of the points are not on the back hand ;)
Yeah this is true although perhaps one of only 2 lefties I’ve played against in the last 6 months 😂
