Richy Bailey is one of the most respected and experienced padel coaches in the world. With over 35 years in padel and 30 years as a coach, he has lived the sport’s evolution from its beginnings in Spain to its international growth across Europe, the U.S., and beyond. He has represented the United States National Team in six World Championships, was Head Coach of the U.S. National Women’s Team (achieving their best result in history and qualifying for the World Championship for the first time ever), and has served as National Coach of Finland. Richy has trained top international players and mentored hundreds of coaches through his official Level I, II, and III certifications endorsed by the USPA. He is the founder of Mindset Padel Academy (Spain) and The Iconic Way, a complete teaching framework that defines how players and coaches truly learn padel.His approach is revolutionary: simple, human, and effective. He believes players should learn through guided discovery, developing their own natural technique and tactical intelligence rather than memorizing robotic movements. His philosophy blends emotional intelligence, technical mastery, and real-game understanding.

Why I got into it

I grew up in a small place, which happened to be the center of gravity of padel in Spain at the time. I learnt the game next to the country’s greatest player at the time and fell in love with it. Since then, I’ve spent my life decoding what truly drives performance and helping others reach their peak.

Fun fact

I’ve coached in six World Championships, but my proudest moments are seeing players surpass what they thought possible.
