Tom Giordano

Coach (Padel)

I grew up in Windsor, Ontario after immigrating from Argentina with my family when I was young. I hold a BSc in Physical Geography/Earth Sciences and a MSc in Fluvial Geomorphology which ultimately led me to my career as a Hydrometric Supervisor for Environment and Climate Change Canada. In 2020, I found Padel and quickly became hooked. After a few years of playing and a growing passion for the sport, I pursued my certification as a Padel Coach through the Padel MBA Level 1 & 2 certifications

Over the last 2 years, I’ve had the privilege of sharing the court with many players in support of the growth of our wonderful padel community. What I love most about the club is the community and the people. I get great satisfaction seeing someone hit their first shot, improve their game, or see them achieve something they’ve been working hard on. I am very fortunate and grateful to be able to share my love for padel and to have the opportunity to support its growth in Canada. I look forward to continuing to contribute to its growth locally and nationally any way I can.

When not working my day job or on the courts, I like to stay active, travel with my wife Rachel, take our pup Archie for walks, watch films and read comic books.
