About
Ahmet Baran Cetin (also written Ahmet Baran Çetin) is an entrepreneur — founder of ABC Cetin LLC — and amateur padel player based in Boca Raton, Florida. He discovered padel in May 2020 and has played continuously since — competitively and socially, as an independent player across various clubs in Boca Raton and the wider South Florida area.
A graduate of Bilkent University in Tourism and Hotel Management, Ahmet served as president of the university's student clubs union and was elected student council representative. That mix of hospitality thinking and community building still shapes how he sees padel: a sport whose real product is not the rally, but the people around the court.
His playing interests run toward doubles strategy, teamwork and physical endurance; off the court, he follows sports technology — how booking platforms, court cameras and rating systems are changing amateur racquet sports.
He edits La Casa de Padel, an independent English-language padel publication covering South Florida courts, rules for newcomers, gear and the growth of padel in the United States.
