Padel beginnings

Loughlan first played padel in in 2019, when working as a guide at Club LaSanta in Lanzarote but didn't begin taking it seriously until 2022. From there, he built up the desire to win and set himself the goal of representing his country at a European or World Championships.

Loughlan loves the speed at which you can progress when playing padel and and enjoys how the use of the glass and walls can make the game more tactical.
