ROBYN DUDA

Marcos Del Pilar is a force of nature, doing more for U.S. padel and beyond — from club level to international tournaments — than literally anyone else, attracting major investment and top players. His coaching academy with the RSPA is the benchmark for training much of the current padel coaching talent in the USA and worldwide. I highly recommend his involvement in any padel project — he’s a good friend and a consummate professional.

Marcos is truly an amazing human being—not just a force in business, but an incredible friend as well. He radiates passion and energy, not only for the sport but for the people around him, and you can genuinely feel his presence when he’s in the room. His dedication is infectious, lifting everyone’s spirits and raising the standard wherever he goes. I always say, if there were ten Marcos in the world, we’d have even more successful padel clubs—he’s that impactful.

Marcos Del Pilar introduced me to padel — both as a sport and as a business — and that introduction has had a lasting impact on my life. His passion for padel is contagious, and he’s one of the biggest reasons I fell in love with the sport. Whether you’re a seasoned player or someone who’s never even heard of padel, Marcos has a way of making you feel welcome, inspired, and energized. He’s optimistic, humble, and incredibly positive — the kind of person who lifts everyone around him. I’m grateful to call him both a partner and a friend. He’s the kind of teammate you always want by your side, on and off the court.
DMITRIY GERSHFELD
Co-founder XCEL PADEL
I had the privilege of working with Marcos when we cofounded the Pro Padel League. As the “Godfather” of padel in North America, Marcos was incredibly knowledgeable, insightful and connected, making him a tremendous partner. Marcos is great with people and has amazing problem-solving skills which really come in handy when you’re starting a professional league from scratch. But what I most value about Marcos is his loyalty and friendship. Creating a league is tough and you quickly learn who you can count on. I could always count on Marcos.
