Here you are some of the main topics and quotes of that APPT represented by its Co-Founder and CEO Carlos Carrillo explained in the last Padel World Summit
The competition part, for pros and amateurs is a key point to growing the sport.
“We’re focused on the competition (…) and the academy”.
“We’re a supranational organization trying to promote padel from the upper part in terms of seeing in the long term which are the different directions that we should take to promote it.”
“We’re trying to give the tools and help (to the countries and clubs) to grow the sport”.
Asia was one of the late markets to grow in padel. Investment & Expertise are needed.
“Now there are some initial ones who are risking their money and investment to try to make it happen”
“Now everyone is jumping to the wave and the good thing is that we’re attracting expertise”
“We want to send this information and knowledge to the market and combine this interest of investment and expertise”
The community is the key, even with the big differences among Asian countries.
“We’ve seen it; that is a process (the growth of padel). Starting from this elite, but during the process, it comes down to the medium purchasing people, and it’s a matter of time.”
“Initially, it’s coming from influencers or people who are well known, so it’s happening the same as it did in Spain or Italy some years ago. It’s a matter of 5 or 10 years.”
“The key that is happening is the community; everything is about people.”
What’s going on and what’s next?
