About this listen
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
Alex’s first entrepreneurial moves selling football boots and how that experience has shaped his mindset today
If you've ever been curious about Padel, this is your gateway episode. By the end, you might just find yourself Googling your local court...
