#Padel has high growth opportunity and is expected to be a 6bn euro sport by 2026. One of its challenges as a relatively new sport in the UK and in other emerging markets around the world including the USA, France and Germany is 'educating people about padel'. Stakeholders - players, coaches, clubs, developers - are incredibly active on social media, particularly Instagram where the video format performs well. However, this is the padel community talking to each other. Reaching a wider audience outside of the padel world is the real challenge as any minority sport knows. There is an appetite but budget appears to be the biggest challenge given the sport is in its infancy in those emerging markets. However, if you're prepared to take the plunge and talk how to spread the word, get in touch. #publicrelations #pr #padel #sportsindustry #sportsmedia #sportsmarketing

This week the biggest tournament, the World Padel Tour, in the world takes place in Amsterdam. Padel in booming and is one of world's fastest-growing sports 🔥. Its growing trend in regions including the Netherlands hints at its potential to become a dominant sport. Playtomic and Deloitte have joined forces with an updated view on how Padel has become a global sport. Key insights in the Global Padel Report 2023 are: 💪 In 2022 approximately 200M€ was invested to build new courts, with over 1.400 courts ( 49%) built in the Netherlands during 2022; 💪 While Padel has achieved maturity and witnessed remarkable growth in certain regions, the Padel growth development in the Netherlands is currently characterized by investment, private sector boost and (still) lack of legal barriers; 💪 By 2026 it's anticipated that there will be around 85.000 Padel courts worldwide, more than doubling the current figures of nearly 40.000, indicating a strong growth perspective; 💪 The Padel industry's expansion is not exclusively tied to infrastructure (e.g., courts), but comprised by multiple stakeholders that are building an extensive commercial segment (e.g., equipment retailers, professional segment, institutions and add-on services) beyond court's confines. The estimated total worldwide market size in 2022 is 2.000M€ #deloittesportbusinessgroup

#PEDROPORRO #SCOUTING #LEVERAGING #TALENT Looking back to March 2020, Sporting Clube de Portugal moved to a different paradigm when coach Ruben Amorim arrived at the club. More than a brand new game plan, he brought an overall approach more consistent with a "big club": prioritizing #talent, #commitment, #positivetension and #performance - without #restrictions or #prejudices. As for the senior squad, Ruben Amorim identified different gaps and needs - with the right wing back position considered a top priority. Porro was a Spanish #under21 international whom City Football Group had valued at EUR 12M the previous season - but had been sidelined since March 2020 and had played only 105 league minutes since January. It was a moment of uncertainty, also for the player (aged 20 at that time)... and surely no #bigdata source would have provided such "solution". Looking into such a complex market, notably lacking in the specific profile and even more from #feasible contexts, we at the #Scouting and #Market Department were aware that Porro could be a #solution too relevant to be ignored: on top of the solid fundamentals (including as right winger in youth setups) and obvious physical traits, all his dimensions were enhanceable and would make sense in any case scenario. Above all, because his mental structure was top notch. Therefore, under a clear and assertive #process, Ruben Amorim would end up being, also with Porro, absolutely fundamental... first of all when he took the #risk under a context of uncertainty (player health & Club going through difficult times)... and then exponentially #increasing his value: #qualifying his obvious talent, providing him more #solutions, #boosting skills .. vastly #improving a player who, day in day out, corresponded with a non-negotiable #character and consistent #elite level performances. And instrumental was also Hugo Viana, Sports Director, able to materialize the sporting vision with a conscient #financialoperation, spreading the #risk along a 2-season loan with a non-compulsory buying option. And these are not minor details.. by providing time and space for everyone at the Club to be able to bring specific #input from the different #departments (technical, coaching, scouting, medical). In fact, by September 2020 we at the Club already knew that 45M would be a #bargain... because players (and people) like Pedro Porro are #unvaluable. So if you are a Tottenham Hotspur Football Club fan.. enjoy him while you can.. Porro is signing for Real Madrid C.F.. Just not today. #deadlineday #trusttheprocess With Pedro Brandão.
