Who is Nige and Padel Life Retreats

First and foremost I’m a loving father of two beautiful kids & husband to my gorgeous wife Lynsey.

I’m also a former professional rugby & rugby league player & then ‘corporate athlete’ for 20 years who fell in love with padel in 2022 whilst working my way through a mid life crisis or should I say opportunity.

I’ve had such tremendous, joyful padel experiences over the past few years, on & off the court, including representing the Australian Padel Masters team at the 2024 world championships in Alicante, Spain.

I’m now an accredited coach, help new clubs get set up, play regularly in national tournaments, essentially just all-in on helping the sport grow in Australia, which now includes taking Aussie padel lovers to Bali for incredible padel adventures.

Padel has brought me so much joy on & off the court over the past few years and so Padel Life Retreats is my way to ‘pay it forward’.

I’m passionate about health, connection, nature, movement & having fun - Padel Life Retreats expeditions tick all of these boxes.

Let’s Go!!
