Hear about our ambassador Mie Skov tell about her padel career
Tell us a bit about yourself – and how you started playing padel
I’ve always been a big kid at heart - especially when it comes to anything involving a ball. That’s never changed.
In 2022, I swapped the small white table tennis ball for the yellow felt ball, and I haven’t looked back since. Padel simply makes me happy - it’s that simple.
My first time on court wasn’t exactly love at first sight. I didn’t really understand the game, and definitely not why I couldn’t just hit forehand winners all the time like in table tennis. It actually felt a bit slow and almost too controlled.
But that changed quickly.
It didn’t take many sessions before I fell completely in love with the game - the shots, the glass, the pace, the angles, the strategy, and the social energy around it. And maybe most importantly, it gave my competitive inner child a new playground.
What are you most proud of in your padel career so far?
I’m proud that I continue to show up and give myself the chance to improve every single day.
To be able to compete at a high level in a new sport means a lot to me.
What drives me the most are those intense matches where everything is on the line - physically, but especially mentally. Those moments are why I play.
What is your biggest strength - on and off the court?
I’m a fighter.
On court, my biggest strength is my ability to give everything - regardless of the score. To stay in it, find solutions, learn, adapt, lose, come back stronger, and keep pushing forward.
It all comes down to a mindset I’ve built over time - a strong belief in always competing.
Off the court, my strength is perspective.
I truly believe that everything that happens to me serves a purpose. That mindset gives me calmness, trust, and the ability to grow through every experience.
Why is Cuera the right match for you?
Because the values align.
Cuera and I share the same approach - being uncompromising when it comes to quality, intention, and constant improvement.
It’s about raising the bar. Every time.
What are you most looking forward to in this collaboration?
Becoming part of the Cuera family and representing the brand in a genuine way.
I’m excited to create inspiring content, connect with people, and build something meaningful together.
And of course - wearing the pieces.
Mixing styles, expressing personality, and feeling confident both on and off the court. That part I really look forward to.
Do you have a favourite Cuera piece so far?
That has to be the Oncourt skirt.
The fit is incredibly comfortable, and the look is clean and effortless at the same time. It’s one of those pieces you keep coming back to.
