Post Padel

Padelgrips.nl is the Netherlands' specialist in padel gear, and they came to us with a clear gap in the market every existing sports tracker treated padel as a generic racket sport, and none were fast enough to actually use after a match. Players wanted to learn from their sessions, but no tool made it easy enough to bother. The brief was a padel-first app, built around the specific shots, terminology, and rhythms of the game, that any player could open at the end of a match, log their performance in under a minute, and walk away with personalised AI coaching tips. The product also had to feel free in spirit no paywalls, no subscriptions, no upsells. Just a tool that made every match a learning opportunity.

Post Padel has turned every match into a learning loop. Players log in seconds, see what worked and what didn't, get tips that are actually relevant to their own game, and walk into their next session with a clear plan. Coaches receive structured reports instead of guesswork, and Padelgrips.nl now has a direct channel into the daily habits of the padel community it serves. The app launched to 5-star reviews within days and gives the brand a product that earns trust as a coach first and recommends gear second, exactly the order of operations a serious player respects. As padel grows globally, Post Padel is positioned to grow with it.

We built Post Padel as a native iOS app with a 60-second logging flow at its core. Players rate their performance across every padel-specific shot type, flag standout moments and weak spots, and the app stores everything against their personal history. On the backend, a Python service turns that history into structured insight, and an OpenAI-powered coach generates tips that are personal to the player, not generic padel advice scraped from the web. We built a one-tap PDF coach report so players can walk into their next lesson with structured data instead of vague feelings, a weekly and monthly trend view to show progress over time, and an integrated shop module that surfaces Padelgrips.nl gear contextually based on what the player is working on. Every decision was made to keep the post-match flow fast, because if players don't log, the AI has nothing to work with.
