Technology and data analysis seem to combine seamlessly in the sporting arena. While big league sports like football, golf, rugby and basketball are all in into wearables, the case for less populated sports worldwide is still to be tackled. Slowly, more and more gadgets developed for sports fan evolve to serve a wider range of sports than the ones they were initially intended to. Well delivered padel training does require much more than wearable technology and fancy gadgets to be pulled through consistently. But let´s just say the information gadgets provide could design a much more focused training. Not at the reach of every pocket though, or necessary for every level player.
Not at the reach of every pocket though, or necessary for every level player, we have sought into the web to bring our #gamechangers community useful equipment, carefully designed for committed athletes. Not exactly padel tech, but tech enough to help us upgrade our game and liven up every sport performance we get ourselves into.

Some of these are just out to the market, some of them have been around for some time. Nonetheless, this selection of gadgets is, to say the least awesome.
