Managing Tendonitis 🔥❄️

When dealing with tendon pain, small changes can make a big difference in how you feel during and after training.

🔥 Before your session: Apply heat to the knee to help increase blood flow to the tendon.
❄️ After your session: Use ice to help manage inflammation and soreness.

Tendons don’t get a ton of blood flow on their own, so prepping the area before loading and cooling it down after can help support recovery and reduce flare-ups.

🧠 Smart training + smart recovery = long-term progress.

Tried out the @xpand_store Gravity Belt this week… and wow. What was supposed to be a light session turned into a full-body burner 🔥😅

✅ Worked the back of the court
✅ Volleys with resistance
✅ Volley to bandeja to finish (and suffer)

This thing keeps you low, challenges your core, and exposes any lazy habits real quick. But hey, that’s how we level up 💪

🎯 Road to 4.0 continues!

Tournament number three in the books. First time playing in Division 2 and somehow didn’t get kicked off the court 😅
Played with coach @therealnachogarcia, and managed to hold my own (minus a few back glass disasters and net cord betrayals 😂).
Grateful for the experience, the lessons, and the chance to compete against some top-tier players 💪
Shoutout to @blanca.padel and the best gear in the game! Helping me look legit even when my volleys say otherwise 🤝🎾

Week 8 of the Road to 4.0 🇪🇸🎾
Switched to the right side and my brain said “no gracias.”
Felt off, overthinking, and playing tense — but shoutout to @therealnachogarcia for reminding me to smile, have fun, and trust the work. Pádel es pa’ disfrutar 😅🔥

Shoutout to the squad:
@blanca.padel for keeping me geared up
@flokyus for keeping me healthy on court
Vamos que vamos 💪 #GringoPadel

Wrapped up the USPA 250 at @padel10by20 after some absolute battles out there 🔥 Came up just short, but these were the toughest and most fun matches I’ve played yet. Huge shoutout to my partner @therealnachogarcia for grinding it out with me—definitely the highest level I’ve competed at so far, and proud of how I held my own. On to the next 🚀💪#PadelLife
