Padel TV: Revolutionizing How We Watch and Grow the Sport Are you ready to experience padel like never before? As the host of the Joy of Padel podcast, I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Johannes Thomhave, CEO of Padel TV, about the exciting developments in broadcasting this fast-growing sport. Our conversation revealed fascinating insights into the challenges and opportunities of filming padel, the importance of globalization, and the future of padel viewership. The Rise of Padel TV Johannes Thomhave, a self-proclaimed padel aficionado, has taken his passion for the sport to new heights. As the CEO of Padel TV, he's at the forefront of bringing high-quality padel broadcasts to viewers around the world. But how did this journey begin? "I usually say I have three interests. Those are movies like film and wine and padel. So I try to work with all three because it's my hobbies and interests," Johannes shared. This unique combination of passions led him to the world of padel broadcasting, where he's now revolutionizing how we watch and engage with the sport. Challenges and Innovations in Filming Padel One of the most intriguing aspects of our discussion was the technical challenges of filming padel. As Johannes explained: "Filming padel is not about bringing the most expensive equipment or the most experienced photographers even because we've seen on Premier padel, we've seen Hexagon where they do make mistakes which you and me and others that know padel can correct them." This insight highlights a crucial point: to effectively broadcast padel, you need more than just technical expertise – you need a deep understanding of the sport itself. Johannes and his team at Padel TV are constantly innovating to capture the unique aspects of padel that make it so exciting to watch: • Multiple camera angles to capture the full court action • Instant replays and slow-motion shots • Advanced statistics like smash speed and lob height • Graphics and scorecards to enhance viewer understanding These innovations are transforming padel broadcasts, making them more engaging and informative for both seasoned players and newcomers to the sport. The Global Expansion of Padel One of the most exciting developments in the padel world is its rapid global expansion. Johannes shared his perspective on why the UK market was particularly appealing for Padel TV: "Everyone in the padel world is talking about the UK. That's, that's, you know, I was in the World Padel Summit, which I'm, you know, speaking at for the next event this year as well. And, and it's, everyone is, you know, UK everyone is talking about, everyone is, you know, hoping to talk about the US as well, of course, from a commercial standpoint." This focus on expanding into new markets is crucial for the growth of padel. As Johannes pointed out, the sport needs to move beyond its Hispanic roots to truly become a global phenomenon: "We need to globalize this sport. We're making everyone speak English. In hexagon, there were 50 people in the press room. We were the only ones forcing the players to do interviews in English because this is basically an Hispanic sport and it shouldn't be, because in a global level you need to speak English." Challenges and Opportunities for Padel Growth While the growth of padel is exciting, it also comes with its own set of challenges. Johannes highlighted some key areas that need attention: 1. Language barriers: Making padel content accessible in English to reach a global audience 2. Diversifying player representation: Showcasing talent from beyond Spain and Argentina 3. Building a star system: Creating idols and recognizable faces in the sport 4. Balancing global and local content: Catering to both international fans and those interested in their national heroes By addressing these challenges, padel has the potential to become one of the world's most popular sports.
