Very few have managed to chase their passion and work hard to achieve it. It takes immense level of commitment to reach those heights, which some can only dream of. Now imagine pursuing a dual passion and ending up accomplishing both of them. Quite hard to comprehend right?

00:00The key for this is try to make the kids play, because for example in lots of countries in Europe you see lots of people playing, but normally they are like 30 years old, 40 years old.
00:15An amazing experience for us is a new concept of a team with girls and boys together, so for us it's very interesting.
00:24Yesterday we didn't get the games that we wanted, but the experience was very, very good.
00:33For today we are going to try to do our best to get more games, but it was an excellent experience.
00:41The partner is at least half of the game, so you have to choose very good and you have to complement with him 100%.
00:56The final game was amazing against Coelho and Javi Garrido. We lost in the tiebreak, but I think that we are here to compete, to make a show.
01:08All the games, even the last game, were like that. It was a show, we competed with our best, and the mix was very interesting too, because we never saw anything like that.
01:26We are so happy to stay here.
01:28They have to focus probably on competing a lot, going out of the country and going with the tour, with the FIBA, for example, the FIBA Prize, the FIBA Gold or the FIBA, I don't know, Silver.
01:46It's going to be a good proof for them, and they have to train with Spanish, Argentinian trainers, or definitely they have to go out and learn a lot.
02:04By the moment, we live from the sponsor and brands. The prize money in the tournament is not very high by the moment, but we want to change it, because the fair is to get your money inside the court, not outside.
02:21I think that in a few years we are going to change that.
02:24I agree with Paco. The thing is, lots of brands and big brands are investing now, because they are watching Paddle in an international way, so it's easier for us to find sponsors, international sponsors, big brands.
02:39But I think we are improving the money we get from the tournaments. It's getting higher and higher, but it's going to be a goal for a long time in the future.
02:50The key for this is to try to make the kids play, because, for example, in lots of countries in Europe you see lots of people playing, but normally they are like 30 years old, 40 years old.
03:03When we go to the World Championship, maybe the German people are more than 30 years old, so I think the key will be to let the kids play or have like a school after the school, something like that, to have children after school playing Paddle.
03:18I think that would be perfect. We need also good teachers and good coaches, because as soon as possible they have to train as professional as possible, if we want them to be professional.
03:30So I think the kids are the key.
03:33I won't be able to be just a student or just a Paddle player. I've always lived my life between the books and the Paddle racket, so for me it would be impossible just to think about one thing.
03:48I had two goals. One was to achieve the number one, and the other one was to be a doctor.
03:56My goal for the future is maybe, why not, have an academy, or I don't know if I'm good as a coach, because I have no patience, but you never know. I'm sure that I will work with Paddle, with the sport.
04:18Paddle.
