I’m thrilled to be joined this week by Catherine Rose, the UK’s No. 2 Padel player. After starting her career as a teacher, Catherine made the bold leap into professional sport last year, a pivot that demanded courage, commitment, and a whole lot of self-belief.
We dig into the challenges she’s faced along the way, from battling debilitating nerves to navigating the confidence gap that so many women experience when it comes to backing themselves. Catherine shares the moment she realised she was genuinely on a career path in Padel, and how that clarity, consistency, and momentum ultimately led to her selection to represent her country.
We also explore the importance of mental resilience, focusing on what you can control, trusting the process, and finding confidence in the moments that matter most. Her journey is a powerful reminder of how self-belief combined with steady momentum can shift everything, both on and off the court.
