An experienced management team

For  frame  all the news  nuggets of French padel , the FFT has chosen two recognized names in the field of training and coaching:

 Baptiste Benetoux , current coach of  Léa Godallier , the Toulouse player is also very often on the chair to coach  Bastien Blanqué and Johan Bergeron.  Old tennis negative and mounted up to the  214th place in France  at the padel,  benetoux  is a real asset of the  tactical side  in particular, as proven by these latest results with the players he coaches:  Victory at the FIP Silver Bandol  to  Léa Godallier  and semi-final at  FIP Silver Narbonne  to  Blanqué/Bergeron.  

 Jeremy Garcia,  current  13th French player , will come  complete the coaching aspect  with his experience of  highest French level . He will also be able to pass on to young people the  training sessions of a multi-titled player  on the French circuit and regularly in the last squares of P2000.

To complete the team, the FFT requested a  Argentinian coach , That of Alix Collombon  :  Juan Alday.  Coach at  professional level and true padel specialist  that goes back more than  35 years , the support of such an experienced trainer will be essential to the  implementation of good training practices. Juan Alday  will not be present 100% but will make several appearances during the year to  frame training methods  and also closely follow young French players.
