Until the last second: Mari Carmen Villalba
If she hadn't fallen for padel, Mari Carmen Villalba would probably have become a sports teacher at a high school, according to her own statement - but what isn't yet, can still become. Currently, however, she is so satisfied with her situation that she would not even want to swap places with someone else for a day.
Together with friends, chatting about various topics, preparing a delicious ham and cheese quiche on the side and listening to the music of Emilia Nerves - that's exactly what the perfect evening at Mari's could look like. But she has much more to tell. But feel free to read for yourself!
"For me, regeneration is very important, because at the end of the day, that's why you can train or compete at the highest level."

Everything about Recovery

Late afternoon, before dinner.

I like to use the reboots for about 30 minutes and almost always take program B, which is pretty intense to fully recover the legs.

Since I turn on the reboots for half an hour, I take the opportunity to watch a Netflix episode.
