Show Notes
In this episode of the padel podcast, I chat with Tomoaki (Tom) Murasawa, the coach of Japan's national padel teams. Tomaki shares his personal journey from tennis to padel, discussing how the sport has evolved in Japan since the first court opened in 2013. With only about 50 courts across the country, the passion for padel is evident. We touch on the need for more investment to grow the sport's infrastructure and how it can better fit into Japanese culture. Tomaki also highlights the importance of strategic play and deception to enhance the skills of Japanese players.
