Ep.19: There is a new(ish) kid on the block called Padel- with Ben Nichols from Padel 22!

Tune in for my conversation with Ben Nichols from Padel 22, a global communications consultancy dedicated to Padel!
Ben is a sports and communications professional with over 20 years of experience in the racquets industry. Ben is from the UK where he grew up playing tennis. He started his career at the ATP in Ponte Vedra Beach to later become the Chief Press Officer of the ATP and WTA Dubai Tennis Championships!
He is also the former Director of Communications and Public Affairs for the Commonwealth Games Federation and he was the head of Media Relations for the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) during the Russian doping scandal.
At Padel 22 he works with the likes of Padel Haus (NYC’s first and only Padel Club), and professional Padel players including the British No.1, LeDap.
It was so interesting talking with Ben. His time working for WADA during the Russian doping scandal in the olympics is just fascinating so of course we talked about that and many other things like players not participating in press conferences nowadays, journalism in the tennis world and of course we talked about padel!!!
