How to Get 25% Off My Upcoming Padel Book
A shameless plug for me -- but a pretty good deal for you...
Dear Padel Nation readers,
As some of you may know, over the past few months when not cranking out articles about the rise of U.S. collegiate padel… or padel pro-ams in Palm Springs… or Reebok getting into the padel game, I’ve been busy finishing a comprehensive book on the sport that will be released later this summer.
Among many other things, this 350+ page book covers:
The fascinating history of padel here in the U.S. and beyond (Did you know the first court in North America went up in 1992 in Calgary, Alberta, followed by the first court in the U.S. in 1994 in Houston, Texas? Or that the inaugural Team USA set foot on a padel court for the very first time the night before competing in a televised multi-national tournament in Acapulco, Mexico in 1993?)…
How the sport has evolved over the past 50+ years since it was first invented in Mexico (like the fact that the back walls have gone from being concrete to glass and the racquets have transformed from flimsy plastic ones to thick foam ones made with space-aged materials)…
The rise of padel tourism (including details on padel camps, resorts, and retreats you can go to in places ranging from Bali to Barcelona… Cyprus to Croatia… and even the Maldives)…
The ins and outs of pro padel (including the mind-blowing records set by Argentine legend Fernando “Bela” Belasteguín — who was World No. 1 for 16 consecutive years… the rise and “fall” of the World Padel Tour… and other pro leagues and events you should be aware of like Premier Padel, the Pro Padel League, and the Reserve Cup Series)…
The top 10 reasons you should play padel… the 10 most important padel-playing countries across the globe… and 10 must-visit padel clubs around the world (including one right here in the U.S.).
And until the end of today Barnes & Noble is offering 25% off all pre-order books, including mine, when you sign up for their free Rewards program and use code PREORDER25.
Granted, this book is geared more towards the “padel-curious” crowd who are aware of the sport but don’t really know much about it than it is hard-core padel players or enthusiasts like most of you reading this right now.
Even so, I like to think it has a little something for everybody and, if nothing else, will help grow awareness and acceptance of the sport here in the U.S. and beyond. It also might make a great gift for a friend or family member who hasn’t yet caught the padel bug (but you’d like to give a nudge in the right direction!).
And even if you don’t use this discount to pre-order my book, you might consider using it to order one of the hundreds of other pre-order books available on barnesandnoble.com right now.
(In our household, we’ll personally be pre-ordering copies of the new David Sedaris and Maggie O’Farrell books).
But please keep in mind, this pre-order discount is only good through the rest of today.
Thanks in advance for your interest and support!
