    Dec 11 2025

    In this episode hear how Rob not only opened a business but how he opened a business based on a sport most Americans have never heard of' in an already crowded racquet space.

    Rob initially came to America to play tennis in college where he was #1 ranked and after returning to Sweden he started playing padel instead as the sport swept Europe. After vocalizing his desire to bring padel to America he teamed up with the correct people to help make that dream a reality.

    From educating your customers, to setting the right culture and managing staff from a long distance, there were plenty of challenges for him.

    Hear how Rob's sport background dealing with pressure and the experience of moving to a different country alone at a young age has helped shape him as an entrepreneur.

    If you want to try padel and have not been to the club before then call Zmash Padel and mention this podcast and you get a court and all equipment free for an hour. An instructor will debrief you on the basics of how to play.
