From Rugby to Padel: MAX EVANS, A Man on a Mission to Grow the Game

What happens when a former professional rugby player discovers a sport that’s social, addictive, and fiercely competitive, all without the brutal physical demands of the pitch? For the founder of PADELXO, it was love at first swing. After first picking up a racket in Portugal alongside Chelsea legend John Terry, he quickly realised padel had everything, accessibility, strategy, and the perfect mix of fun and competition.

With a vision to build as many courts as possible and bring the sport to the masses, PADELXO was born. In this exclusive interview, he shares why padel is taking off, how it’s keeping people active at all ages, and why he sees himself playing well into his 60s (unlike rugby!). And after a tough match? A dip in the ocean, followed by a well-earned glass of red wine.

Read on to find out more about his journey, his best tips for beginners, and why he believes padel is the future of sport.

“The delivery service every wine lover needs.”
