#DramaFree Padle episode 1

Welcome to 18 Minutes #DramaFree. Bloody Magic with Svetlana Shapovaliants. This episode is part of a larger exploration by Svetlana Shapovaliants into the nature of play — how we feel when we play, where enjoyment comes from, and why frustration can suddenly appear in the middle of something that is supposed to be fun. In this episode, Svetlana talks about frustration on the padel court, about what happens when our inner child steps into the game with us, and why mistakes, losing points, our partner’s reactions, or our own expectations can sometimes bring up so much tension, anger, disappointment, and even pain. She also shares practical tools for creating your own #DramaFree padel — how to recognise your drama, deal with your own frustration, respond to your partner’s frustration, and stay in the game without letting emotions take over. Because managing drama is not only about playing better. It is about enjoying the game more, feeling better while you play, and ultimately improving the quality of life beyond the court. This episode is also part of a season dedicated to play — with conversations about what happens to us when we compete, perform, win, lose, struggle, and try again. Alongside Svetlana’s exploration, you’ll hear interviews with top-level players — people who compete at the highest level and who have to face not only their opponents, but themselves, every single day. ------- Project team: Ustina Yeskova — Podcast Producer Asya Razumikhina, RepTech Stockholm — #DramaFree marketing Vladimir Morozov — Production ⁠⁠⁠Music by Stream Kleptotonic Swing [Electro Swing] by Tri-Tachyon | Listen online for free on SoundCloud⁠⁠ (  / kleptotonic-swing-fix  )
