Sponsor brief · Operations plan · Edition 01 · June 2026

The Plan — €50,000, 12 months, FIP Top 100.

A line-item financial plan and a 38-event tournament calendar for the campaign year July 2026 to June 2027. Built around three rules: play for point density, not prestige; train as a Top-100 player already does; document every euro on the way. The FIP world ranking uses each player's 22 best results from the Qatar Airways Premier Padel Tour and the Cupra FIP Tour, rolling 52 weeks. Top 100 sits at just under 580 FIP points. Starting rank: FIP #470 (~70 points). Target by 30 June 2027: FIP Top 100.

The Points Table — how the ranking is built

Official FIP point distribution for the 2026 season (unchanged from 2025). The world ranking is the sum of each player's 22 best results in the two tours below, on a rolling 52-week window. Anything outside these two tours — A1 Padel, FIP Promises, exhibition opens — does not count toward the FIP world ranking.

How to read this for the campaign.
  • Best 22 results count. Filling 22 slots with FIP Bronze SFs (14 pts each) already banks 308 points. Two Bronze titles + four Bronze SFs adds another 136. The route to Top 100 is volume of deep runs, not a single big result.
  • One Silver final (45 pts) ≈ two Bronze finals (44 pts). Silver entries are worth chasing only when Exe's seed allows a realistic Round of 16 or better.
  • A1 Padel and FIP Promises are outside this ranking. They bring prize money, match fitness and visibility but do not move the FIP ranking. The calendar (Section III) lists those events separately and flags them as off-ranking.

The Budget — €50,000 line by line

Eight cost lines, eight reasons each spend exists. Percentages are calculated against the €4,167 monthly base. Each line is annualised by a constant ×12 — there are no one-off "bonus" lines, so a sponsor can audit any month against the same template.

Annual budget allocation — €4,167 per month × 12
Line item Why it exists Monthly Annual Share
Flights & travel 35–40 sanctioned events across EU and Latam. Peak months see 3–4 trips. Mostly economy, partner-share where possible. €1,250 €15,000 30%
Coach Traveling pro coach, cost shared with playing partner. Covers 4 tournament weekends per month plus 1 in-Madrid technical block. €700 €8,400 17%
S&C and physiotherapy Daily strength block, twice-weekly physio session, post-ACL knee maintenance protocol prescribed by Clínica CEMTRO. €600 €7,200 14%
Accommodation Shared rooms at tour events. Sponsor and federation hotels used where available. No premium hotels in this budget. €500 €6,000 12%
Tournament entries & meals FIP Bronze, Silver and Gold entry fees, Premier Padel qualifier fees and on-tour meals during competition weeks. €420 €5,040 10%
Equipment 8–10 rackets per year (Skull Padel + sponsor stock), strings restrung monthly, grips weekly, two pairs of shoes per quarter. €250 €3,000 6%
Mental coach & video Weekly sports-psychology session plus video scouting subscription and opponent-tape time before each event block. €250 €3,000 6%
Nutrition, recovery, insurance Sports-nutrition plan, massage, ice baths, travel and health insurance, small admin and reserve buffer. €197 €2,360 5%
Total €4,167 €50,000 100%
Notes on this budget.
  • What's not in here: Exe's living costs in Madrid, his coaching income (covers personal expenses), and prize money (treated as upside).
  • What sponsors fund: the eight lines above only — the campaign account is ring-fenced from Exe's personal accounts.
  • Monthly closing: on the last day of every month a statement of spend vs. plan is published to all backers, with bank-line evidence.
  • Variance rule: a line can run up to 110% of plan; anything above 110% pulls from the next month's same line, not from another line.

The Calendar — 38 events, points engineered

The FIP ranking counts best 22 results across the Premier Padel Tour and Cupra FIP Tour (52-week rolling window). From #470 (~70 banked points) the climb to Top 100 (~580 points) is about +510 points across 22 slots. The calendar is built for point density: low-friction Bronze events to settle the engine, Silver entries where the seed allows a winnable R16, plus a handful of Gold appearances and Premier Padel qualifier attempts. A1 Padel weeks are listed as off-ranking — they are kept for prize money, match fitness and visibility.

How the calendar is built.
  • Point density beats prestige. Two Bronze finals beat one Silver R16 for a #470 player. Calendar prioritises events where Exe can win 4-5 matches.
  • Latin American swing in Q2. Off-peak European window, weaker top-half draws, and Exe's home-court advantage in Mar del Plata. Single biggest points quarter.
  • Premier Padel qualifiers start Q3. Even a Q-R2 finish brings 100+ points; a main-draw pass in Q4 is the season's stretch milestone.
  • Reserve weeks built in. Average of one open week per month for recovery, late entries, or wildcard opportunities.
  • Partner commitment. 12-month bond with a Top-200 partner — same player across all 38 events to compound chemistry.
IV.

Quarterly KPIs — what success looks like

Each quarter has a single ranking milestone and a single FIP-points target. Targets are sized against the real FIP point distribution (Bronze 40 / Silver 80 / Gold 150 / Platinum 300 for the winner, halving roughly each earlier round). Missing either milestone by >15% triggers a public mid-quarter review with the campaign account — partner change, calendar adjustment or training-block reshuffle on the table.

Weekly Training Cadence — the engine

A Top-100 chase requires the volume of a Top-100 player. Six days on, one off, every non-tournament week. Tournament weeks taper Tuesday and Thursday, peak Saturday and Sunday.

Standard non-tournament week · Madrid base
Day Morning block Afternoon block Court hrs Gym/recovery
Mon Technique & tactics with coach (2h) Sparring with Top-200 partners (2h) 4 S&C 1h
Tue Pattern play, no-look + bandeja blocks (2h) Match-simulation 3 sets vs sparring partner 5 Physio 1h
Wed Video review, opponent scouting (1.5h) Partner-specific tactics block (3h) 3 S&C 1h + Mental coach 1h

Other recurring blocks.
  • Weekly: 1× sports-psychology session, 1× full video review, 2× physio, 5× strength & conditioning, 3× partner-only tactical training.
  • Monthly: 1× full medical review at Clínica CEMTRO (post-ACL maintenance).
  • Quarterly: 1× rest week between competition blocks. 1× partner offsite for chemistry + match prep.
VI.

Assumptions & Risks — what could break it

Plan assumptions and the mitigations attached to each
Assumption Risk if broken Mitigation
Partner stays for 12 months Mid-year partner change can erase a full quarter of chemistry and points. Signed letter of intent with playing partner before Q1. Joint financial alignment (shared coach + travel).
Knee holds full season Re-injury would mean lost months and dropped ranking points. 14% of budget locked in S&C + physio. Monthly Clínica CEMTRO check. Built-in quarterly rest weeks.
Latam swing visas/logistics Argentine passport — usually smooth — but border-day cancellations happen. All Latam flights booked refundable. Hometown leg (Mar del Plata) acts as Q2 floor.
Premier Padel qualifier access Wildcards and qualifier slots tighten as the ranking goal slides. Five qualifier attempts across Q3–Q4 — only one needs to land for the points target.
Funding reaches €50K Sub-€40K forces 6–8 events cut, which compounds against the Top-100 goal. Tier and Title-Month structure designed to scale. Below €40K, Q1 cuts the Cupra Tour stops first.
Prize money is upside None — planned at zero on the income side. Any prize money flows back to the campaign account and is publicly logged; reduces next-quarter funding ask.
