About Alejandro Grilo
Excellence, Knowledge and Legacy in Padel Teaching
Born in Jerez de la Frontera, Alejandro began playing padel at the age of 21, forming part of the first generation to develop without any previous experience in other racket sports. He competed on the PPT professional circuit during the 2007/08 seasons, reaching 48th place in the rankings.
During his years competing and playing in the qualifiers, he closely observed the training sessions of the players in the final draw, taking notes, consulting coaches and absorbing every detail. All this experience allowed him to develop his own teaching method, which he has perfected year after year through working with students and seeing their progress on the court.
With more than 20 years dedicated to teaching, his career has focused on training players and coaches, many of whom are now competing at the highest level. This diversity has allowed him to enrich his methodology and adjust it to the specific needs of each player and competitive environment.
