About Juan
Juan Balmaseda is the Head Coach at The Pollen Club in Manchester. He first picked up a padel racket when he was just seven or eight years old, and the sport has been a constant part of his life ever since. At the age of 13 he began competing in leagues across the Valencian Community in Spain, an experience that gave him strong foundations in both the technical and competitive sides of the game. After several years of competing and training, Juan chose to dedicate himself to teaching, and for the past few years he has been coaching players in Spain and the UK, helping people of all ages and levels develop their skills, improve their tactical understanding, and enjoy the game. His coaching style is based on patience, enthusiasm, and adaptability, and he is fluent in both Spanish and English. Juan believes every player is unique, so he tailors his sessions to individual needs, whether the goal is learning the basics, improving technique, or preparing to compete.
