Have you ever been standing on a padel service line, thinking: \u2018How did they invent this sport actually?\u2019 This is the recipe: put tennis & squash in a blender, add a pinch of kosher salt and a funny-looking racket, and there you go! You just invented padel.\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"Padel<\/a><\/p>\n

Have you never played a game of padel before, but are you a good squash player and do you have a forehand like Federer? Then it really is a thing for you! Although maybe that conclusion is a little too easy\u2026 Especially when you make this counter argument in a post-workout debate at Oerknal with your friends:<\/p>\n

\u2018In the Netherlands, we all grow up with ice skating in the winter, and our national field hockey team almost always wins an Olympic gold medal. But when you put those two sports we excel in together, we\u2019re suddenly far from<\/em> excellent\u2026 Have you<\/em> ever seen a top of the bill Dutch ice hockey player? I<\/em> haven\u2019t.\u2019<\/p>\n

Pretty jealous<\/strong>
\nStill, there are a lot of sports with precious similarities. For example, cyclists often have a very good core stability because of training in the fitness. And lots of basketball players are probably pretty jealous of the footwork of a (kick) boxer.<\/p>\n

Plus\u2026 Combining different sports isn\u2019t just beneficial \u2013 it\u2019s above all lots of fun and varied! That\u2019s why we have a very diverse membership for you at USC, giving you the opportunity to try all kinds of different sports: the passe-partout<\/a>.<\/p>\n

By trying them all out, you might even get some special inspiration to come up with a cool new sport by yourself. Which gives you the ability to answer the title question of this blog: \u2018How do I invent\u2026 a sport that doesn\u2019t exist yet?’\ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Have you ever been standing on a padel service line, thinking: \u2018How did they invent this sport actually?\u2019 This is the recipe: put tennis & squash in a blender, add […]","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-48829","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nHow do I invent\u2026 a sport that doesn\u2019t exist yet? :: USC<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Do you wanna try lots of different sports with just 1 membership?
