Meet Ellie Tsimbilakis

Ellie transitioned to padel after a background as a professional tennis player. From her first sessions, she was drawn to the sport and quickly made the switch, embracing the tactical and technical demands of padel.

Her coaching approach centres on control and consistency. One principle she often shares is that playing at a slower pace leads to better consistency and decision-making on court.

When it comes to coaching content, Ellie believes in keeping things clear and practical. Posting regularly, staying consistent, and focusing on short tips that solve common problems helps players learn without overcomplicating things.

Community & Supporting the Growth of Women’s Padel

Community is an important part of Ellie’s work, particularly supporting the growth of women’s padel. She is passionate about creating safe, supportive spaces for female players, including women-only groups where players can connect and encourage one another.

Looking ahead, Ellie is focused on helping players improve while continuing to develop her own game. She remains committed to competing and is working towards becoming one of the leading female padel players in the UK.
