Hi, I’m Dominic — and padel gave me a second chance at chasing something bigger than myself. 🎾

My first love was tennis. I gave everything to it while chasing the dream of breaking into the top 100. But when that dream eventually shifted, I thought my time in professional sport was done.

Then I found padel — and everything changed.

This time, it feels different. I’m more aware, and more grounded. I’m learning as I go, with no roadmap and no parents funding me, just me, figuring it out as I go — and loving every moment of it.

Since discovering padel, I’ve climbed to #1 in Australia, played in multiple World Cups, and started building my brand. My goal is to help grow this incredible sport in Australia and make a name for myself on the global stage. 🌍

To do that, I need your support. This fundraiser will help cover the real costs of high-level competition: travel ✈️, coaching, training, and recovery. These aren’t luxuries — they’re the essentials to compete with, and become, the best.
