The Joy of Padel with Enrique Corcuera, Jr
Enrique Corcuera Jr., son of Enrique and Viviana Corcuera, the founders of this beautiful sport called Padel. In this conversation with Enrique, he regales us with the backstory about the creation of padel in Acapulco Mexico, about his experience during his youth and how the sport gradually grew to what it is today. We discuss the origin of the name of the sport, the patents and developments, the spread into Argentina and the prospects going forward. We explore Enrique's current involvement in padel with CopaPadel.
