J3Lab es el laboratorio de los entrenadores de pádel de J3Padel Academy. No es un curso ni una biblioteca de vídeos: es el sitio donde se trabaja. Tienes al equipo J3 al otro lado —les escribes cuando lo necesitas, con texto, voz o el vídeo de tu última sesión, y te responden—, la sala común donde se cuece lo que están probando el resto de entrenadores, tu agenda de trabajo y tu certificación. Un sitio para dejar de acumular contenido y empezar a tener criterio.
