All The Angles

Here, with Episode 14 ends Season 1 of All The Angles. Roger Mitchell calls for #padel to embrace the power and reach of YouTube #contentcreators, endemic and non, to generate cut through to new potential players and fans. We will take a week or two off of making video episodes before we come back with Season 2. In the meantime, we will try to gain insights from you our listeners to see if and how you can guide our evolving Season 2. Stay tuned and thanks so much for your time, attention and investment in the padel ecosystem, wherever you are listening from.

ICYMI yesterday, our Outsiders View on #Padel episode is out. Eben Novy-Williams of Sportico flags that ecosystems that expect investor-led projects and brands to nourish the grassroots may face challenges as the short-term motives of the former don't fully dovetail with the long-term thinking of the latter. Who needs to step in? Have they? (Website at end of clip)

🚨🚨🚨 EPISODE 14: OUTSIDER VIEW ON PADEL EPISODE READY!!! 🚨🚨🚨 What do you get, what do you learn, when you give two heavyweight #sportsindustry experts a top line summary of where #padel is today, a forum to ask questions, and an opportunity to opine on what padel is and what it can be in the future? A different #perspective. A cold view divorced from the investment, momentum and frothiness that exists inside the ecosystem. The purpose for us was not to pour cold water on anyone or anything for the sake of it. The purpose was to get some speculation that can deliver food for thought, focus and action. Padel hasn't got it all figured out. We all know there are areas that need addressing. Did Roger Mitchell and Eben Novy-Williams see it all clearly? Did they spot the exposed flanks? Did they reach fair conclusions? Did they miss anything? Did they ask the wrong questions? You tell me. You tell us. https://lnkd.in/ehD9peNy

Tomorrow's episode is going to be something different. An #experiment. Likely to be our most commented on #episode I would guess... When you work in an #ecosystem, it is easy to get caught up in the buzz, hype, excitement, cheerleading etc. Sometimes it is important to find a way to get an #externalperspective. An #outsider's view. To provide balance, context and a #realitycheck. That is what we will do tomorrow. We got two credible, experienced observers and participators in the wider international #sportsbusiness to give their take on the sport of #padel, but as outsiders. What is their reaction? What do they find encouraging? What do they find troubling? Take a listen tomorrow. I will be interested to see what #padelinsiders think about what is said on the episode.

We forgot to put an ICYMI out on Friday. Don't you make the same mistake. Don't forget to download last week's #episode on #Miami and #padel in the #USA. Marcus Jansson-Ryan talks about the dos and don'ts of putting together and presenting #investmentdecks in this exciting market. Full episode and previous ones at alltheangles.biz

ICYMI yesterday, Episode 13 on #padel in #Miami and the #US is out The US is going through what Julian Wortelboer calls a "tsunami", with #enthusiasm and #entrepreneurship everywhere. But he issues a warning. Building the #infrastructure is the "easy part". The key to padel is its #community. Finding the right managers, coaches, members, ideas and mix is the key to keep people coming and coming back. That is where #success lies. #padelbiz #padelbusiness #sportsbiz #sportbusiness #USpadel #padelinamerica

🚨🚨🚨 EPISODE 13 IS LIVE NOW!!! 🚨🚨🚨 #Miami is universally recognised as the Mecca of #Padel in the #USA. It is also the beachhead from which #USPadel is growing and spreading. https://lnkd.in/ewdtkSsp What does Miami's story to date tell us about the sport? How is the #Florida market developing and maturing? What does Miami mean for the rest of #America? What lessons have been learnt? What do those looking to participate in the sport's growth there need to know? Julian Wortelboer of Ultra Padel Club Miami and Padel Smash Academy, together with Marcus Jansson-Ryan of EEP Capital join this episode to dissect the journey, the opportunities, the challenges and the learnings. If you are in or looking at the #USpadelmarket, I don't think you can miss this episode... #padelbiz #padelbusiness #sportsbiz #sportbusiness

This week, we turn our attention on the #USpadel market, specifically the Mecca of #Padel - #Miami. We look at the growth of the #sport in #Florida, the lessons learnt from that state, and what the future of padel across the rest of #America may well look like. We have two pioneers from that part of the world (Ultra Padel Club Miami and EEP Capital) join our #podcast, powered by the Hexagon Cup, as we try to provide pointers for those looking at the market: investors, club and court builders, potential partners...

ICYMI This week's episode is oven-ready to download and listen over the weekend. The guests highlight the value, viewership and #marketing that #padel #contentcreators can bring to sponsors, broadcasters and of course the #events themselves. A great episode with two big characters.

Yesterday we dropped the podcast episode looking at the #business realities of #padel #content creation. A really great insight into the #evolution of the scene, the value to #rightsholders, the challenges of #access, and the frustrations of creating content in multiple #languages (as Pablo Herreros García still wrestles with).
