It all started when Diego met Gabo inside the 20×10 cage at one of his famous training Drop-ins back in 2021. The two quickly connected, and while the idea of working together came up early on, the timing just wasn’t right. They always stayed in touch, passionately talking and brainstorming about padel together. Until the end of 2024. That’s when everything finally clicked.
With their shared passion for padel, creativity and ambition, they launched into action. What began as conversations and scribbled-down ideas quickly turned into something real. They started coaching at the same club, and momentum built fast.
The result? DEEP Padel — a lifestyle brand with bold ambitions: to inspire padel players and coaches around the world. DEEP is more than just a project. It’s a movement built on joy, performance, and community.
But no great movement happens alone. Behind the scenes, Fia joined the team to make sure the vision could grow. By planning, filming, and editing, Fia is the creative engine behind DEEP’s content across all social media platforms. As a personal trainer, she also develops training programs to support coaches/players both on and off the court.
As a lifelong sports enthusiast, Diego’s heart has always belonged to racket sports. He saw the need for well-structured padel coaching and founded one of Stockholm’s biggest padel academies. By being a natural leader, Diego brings an entrepreneurial vision and a deep sense of purpose to everything he does.
From being a former professional tennis and padel player, Gabo is now one of the most respected and sought-after coaches in the sport. Players from all over the world come to train with him — not just for his skills, but for his energy, insight, and love for the game.
Being an athlete with a background in elite soccer and world-ranking performances in masters track and field, Fia brings strength, strategy, and storytelling to DEEP. With experience as a high school teacher, health educator and certified personal trainer, she’s now dedicated to helping DEEP grow — both as a brand and a community.
