If Iciar Montes had been told at the beginning of her career that, barely 40 years later, padel would be on the verge of becoming an Olympic sport, that it would have more than 35 million players <\/a>worldwide, and that almost half of them would be women, she probably would not have believed it. It is with the words of the former world number one and selector of Spain for a decade that<\/span> The Grand Book of Women’s Padel <\/i><\/strong>begins, the most recent publication by journalist Kristin Kirsch<\/strong>, whose Portuguese edition goes on sale today, October 8,<\/strong> on Amazon<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout its 312 pages, the founder of<\/span> Padel for Ladies <\/a><\/i><\/strong>takes on the challenge of writing the first book entirely dedicated to women in padel<\/strong>. Divided into three main dimensions \u2013 historical, sports management, and biographical \u2013 the work gathers the testimony of nearly 50 voices from 14 countries.<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n

From champions like Carolina Navarro<\/strong>, Ana Catarina Nogueira,<\/strong> and Alix Collombon<\/strong> to amateur players and their families, including world-renowned coaches as well as health professionals, the book portrays women’s padel from the perspective of those who play it, coach it, and study it. In other words, from those who have contributed to making it the sport it is today. <\/span><\/p>\n

And it is precisely there that one of the singularities of the work resides. Far from presenting itself as a technical manual, the narrative is constructed ‘from within’<\/strong>: from the perspective of its protagonists and, at the same time, from the experience of an author who is also a player. A detail from which a sense of community emerges that Krisch seeks to awaken: ‘Every reader must be able to recognize herself somewhere.’ <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
