More info

Russell began playing padel in 2022 while visiting South Africa, after many of his tennis friends had made the switch to the sport. He quickly became hooked on the long rallies, tactical elements and the way padel brings players of different skill levels together on court.

Originally from Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, Russell brings a thoughtful and analytical approach to coaching. He enjoys helping players unlock those small insights that can transform their understanding of the game and elevate their performance.

Russell works primarily with intermediate players, focusing on improving shot selection, consistency and tactical awareness to help players build confidence in match situations.

Hope to see you out on court soon.
