  • Three-year partnership connecting health and performance technology with elite professional padel.
  • Partnership extends to FIP Academy with focus on coaching and performance education.
  • Agreement will include direct sponsorship of select players and coaches competing on the tour.

Premier Padel, the leading official professional padel tour worldwide, and WHOOP, the human performance company, today announced a new global partnership that brings together the world’s fastest-growing sport and a leader in health and performance technology. Through the three-year agreement, WHOOP will become the Official Health and Performance Wearable Partner of Premier Padel, bringing its industry-leading wearable technology and performance insights to athletes competing on the global professional padel tour.

 

WHOOP delivers continuous physiological insights that help people better understand their health. By measuring sleep, strain, and recovery, WHOOP translates complex data into clear, actionable guidance, enabling smarter decisions across training, performance, and long-term health.

 

The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance in professional padel. As the sport continues its rapid global growth, WHOOP and Premier Padel will work together to explore how physiological insights and performance data can help athletes unlock deeper performance insights and compete at the highest level. The partnership will also extend across a number of tournaments on the Qatar Airways Premier Padel Tour, with activations planned at key events throughout the season.

 

As part of the agreement, WHOOP will provide its wearable technology and membership to players competing on the Premier Padel tour, giving athletes access to 24/7 advanced health and performance insights throughout the season. In addition, WHOOP will sponsor a group of elite professionals, to be announced at a later stage, who will integrate the technology into their training and competition routines while representing the brand on tour.

 

The partnership will also extend to FIP Academy, the International Padel Federation’s official global training and education platform. Through this collaboration, WHOOP will support coaches to understand training and recovery patterns, optimise rest and nutrition strategies, and integrate physiological insights into athlete development. WHOOP will also work with FIP to develop educational content and learning resources aimed at advancing sports science knowledge within the global padel community.

 

Briain Curtin, VP of Global Marketing at WHOOP said: “This partnership is about raising the performance standard across padel – not just on match day, but in the work that happens between tournaments. WHOOP turns recovery, sleep and strain into practical guidance that athletes and coaches can act on. Through Premier Padel and the FIP Academy, we’re excited to help build a shared performance language for the sport as it scales worldwide.”

 

Rob Mitchell, VP Commercial at Premier Padel, said: “We are proud to welcome WHOOP as a partner of Premier Padel. They are such an exciting world-class brand and their technology will give our athletes valuable insights to better understand their bodies and support performance at the highest level. The partnership also creates direct opportunities for players and coaches on the tour, with WHOOP supporting a group of them as sponsored athletes and bringing this collaboration closer to the athletes.”

 

Guillermo Alcaide, Sport Director of the International Padel Federation, said: “Understanding performance, recovery and athlete wellbeing is becoming increasingly important in modern sport. Through the collaboration with WHOOP with the FIP Academy, we will be able to support coaches with new insights and educational resources that help advance knowledge across our global padel community”.
