Tips to train fastness when I play and power to finish points

That's what drilling is for! You should be able to see that easy ball in practice 10-20 times and mechanise a couple of possible solutions. Especially in a private class. Fire that coach.

watch youtube videos on how to play padel. watch premier padel and focus on just one player and observe their choices. when playing, focus on watching your opponents, not your partner, and specifically, look at their racket and their feet. how are they shaping to hit the ball? have they opened the face to hit a lob? are they turned towards the corner? etc. ultimately if you are playing at a low level, you just need more court experience, more game time, and these things will develop.

With this, having a plan or playing pattern with your partner can help aswell as the opponents likely will just try to survive instead of attacking you. A pattern gives you just a slight edge in the time required to return a ball because you already know how you are gonna hit it, to be succesfull. I dont have footage of you playing but I got a friend that has similar issues like you and for her it helped to play a match or train with 3 other (better) people who would just focus on giving her easy to attack on balls and easy to return lobs so she needed to run back and forth contanstly. We also yelled what shot she should be using to attack us with, a bit like a drill. Ball placement is far more important in (womans) padel, you really dont need to play the ball hard to end points. In just half an hour we saw amazing progress with her, especially her hitting soft to the side (cross court) into the fence got her a huge confidence boost and put us (very fit boys) under alot of pressure. Dropshots was still a bit hard but im sure you can add that to your arsenal with a bit more time. Hitting soft to their feet (chiquita) is amazing as well, especially if you hit it to the other side of the opponents playing arm, so for right handed players try to aim it on their left foot. And most important, dont give up! Give yourself time to learn! This all takes practise and repetition, even the best learn a bit every day too, so you can too! :)

It is hard to provide specific advice without seeing you play. Prediction comes with experience. There is no standard rule about where you should stand based on each shot. General rule of thumb is to: \- avoid getting caught in the transition zone when the opponent touches the ball. opponent at the net, you need to be behind the service line, defending. opponent at the back, move to the net. this applies to most beginner/intermediate players. it is possible to also defend or attack from transition zone, the more advanced you become. \- for low bouncing balls at the opponent's back glass, move closer to the net to finish the point in case of a weak return. for high bouncing balls, stand slightly back, expecting a lob. \- good position to reset at the net is between first and second post. if you are a shorter person, you can stand a bit closer. \- use the windshield wiper at the net: shot goes to the left corner, you and your partner cover the left and the middle. shot goes to the right corner, you and your partner cover the right and the middle. \- neutral position at defence is approximately one racket length from the side wall and service line when you fully extend your racket arm. whenever you defend a ball, always reset to this position and be ready. \- practice doing split step whenever opponent touches the ball. this will allow you to quickly sprint to balls and you will not get stuck and heavy at your current position. \- always have your racket up and prepare in advance. getting to correct position is one thing, hitting the ball on time is another. \- rotate your stance in the direction of the opponent hitting the ball.
