In this episode, we sit down with entrepreneur and Padel pioneer Alex Fleming — one of the driving forces behind Play Padel Sheffield, a facility that’s helping bring this booming sport to the UK mainstream.

We chat all things Padel — where it came from, why it’s exploding globally, and why some say it could be a generational sport for families. Alex talks us through the early start-up lessons, how he built momentum alongside his well-known sporting co-founders, and how community has been the real MVP in the rise of Play Padel.

We also dig into:

• Why some critics are calling padel a fad (and Alex’s thoughts on that)

• How the sport bridges ages, fitness levels and skill sets

• The huge growth opportunity for Padel still ahead
