Put a Cork in it! With Max Evans
Few who meet Max Evans forget Max Evans. This larger than life frisson of energy, smiles and all-round-good-time - not to mention brother of fellow international Tom Evans - has swapped his rugby spikes for the world of padel. After his 15 year international rugby career for Scotland ended, Evans moved to the Algarve, Portugal and pursued a life of sun, golf, family and padel - though not necessarily in that order! As one of the new breed of padel influencers, Max has created a padel brand with a real difference – Cork Padel rackets made out of Portuguese cork, personalised with your own name and colouring, too. As if that wasn’t enough to keep him busy, he also runs PadelXO, the premium padel court and cover brand. ----------------------------------------------------------Email a voicenote with any questions and we'll cover it on one of our next [email protected]:@padelmovement Instagram: padelmovementpodTik Tok:@padelmovementpod Hosted on Acast.

The Prodigy: British Padel sensation Tia Norton on joining the PPL and breaking America
We're joined by teenage Padel sensation Tia Norton. Tia has taken British sport by storm these past couple of years, and by becoming the first Briton to be on the verge of breaking into the world top 100, she has created her own slice of history. At just 20 years old, she is the most recognisable face in British Padel, breaking the mould by taking the sport into the media mainstream with appearances on the BBC One Show, in The Telegraph, and by featuring in Sheer Luxe’s Up and Coming Young Women to Know About feature. The poster girl of British padel also recently “broke America” by winning the inaugural edition of the USA’s newest Pro Sports League, the PPL for her franchise team, Las Vegas Smash. ----------------------------------------------------------Email a voicenote with any questions and we'll cover it on one of our next [email protected]:@padelmovement Instagram: padelmovementpodTik Tok:@padelmovementpodA podcast from MotorMouth Media Hosted on Acast.
