I'm Christian Coetzee — a competitive padel player and coach with over 2 years of experience working with players at every level, based in Plettenberg Bay.
I'm also a Type 1 diabetic, so I understand what it means to manage your body and still perform. That perspective shapes how I coach — practical, honest, and focused on what actually works for your game, not what sounds good.
Sessions with me are fun, but they're not fluff. Every session has a clear focus — and you leave knowing exactly what improved and what to work on next.
"Most of my clients come through word of mouth. That's the part I'm most proud of."
No fluff, no guesswork — just structured sessions that help you improve faster.
Technique, positioning, shot selection, and match awareness — every session has a clear focus.
You leave knowing exactly what improved and what to work on next — not just with a good sweat.
From first-time players to competitive athletes looking to move up levels.
Here's what players have said after training with Christian.
"Honestly didn't expect much from one session but my positioning was noticeably better the next time I played a match. Will definitely be back."
"Christian doesn't waste time. We identified two things wrong with my game and worked on fixing them. Simple as that. My partner noticed the difference before I did."
"I'd been stuck at the same level for ages. After two sessions I understood why. Booked a third one before I even left the court."
"Came in as a complete beginner and didn't feel out of my depth once. Good energy, no ego, explains things without making you feel stupid."
