Orlando, Florida Feb 13, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Award-winning Global Padel Consultant and Senior Advisor Marcos del Pilar reveals leadership, business strategy, and mindset behind Padel’s transformation into a global movement.
Padel is no longer just a sport. With explosive growth across Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and now the United States, it has become one of the fastest-growing sports industries in the world, emerging as a cultural phenomenon, a powerful economic driver, and a new platform for human connection. At the center of this evolution stands Marcos del Pilar, widely known as “The Godfather of Padel in the USA” and internationally recognized as one of the most influential Global Padel Consultants and Advisors in the sport today. With the release of his best-selling book, The Secret Code of Padel, del Pilar offers the first authoritative, insider account of the systems, leadership principles, and long-term strategies that transformed Padel from a niche pastime into a scalable global ecosystem.
A Global Authority with a 360° Perspective
With more than 30 years of experience across every layer of the sport of Padel, del Pilar’s career
spans elite competition, federation leadership, professional leagues, education, and high-level
advisory work. He is a former President of the United States Padel Association (USPA), Co-founder
and former CEO and Commissioner of the Pro Padel League, and a trusted Senior Advisor to venture
capital firms, investment groups, federations, universities, and global brands.
International media have ranked him Top #3 among the “Top 50 Most Influential Persons in the New
Padel World.”
“Believing in the vision before the world sees it is key,” says del Pilar.
“With decades in Padel leadership and senior advisory roles, I’ve seen Padel changing lives,
communities, and entire economies.”
From Skepticism to a National Movement
When del Pilar first introduced his vision for Padel in the United States, the response was skepticism, low demand and exposure, empty courts, limited infrastructure, and hesitant investors. Rather than retreat, he applied a core Padel principle: Reset after every setback and play the next point with clarity, confidence, and determination.
That mindset became the foundation for building successful Padel companies, educational platforms, professional leagues, and a nationwide ecosystem that now fuels one of the fastest-growing sports markets in America.
