TESTIMONIALOlympic Sports

JUAN MANUEL MOLINAOlympic Athlete (Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008), former student of Physical Activities and Sport Sciences, graduated in 2004.

“The world of high-level sport requires grand sacrifices. When I began my university studies, there were very few aids we received from educational institutions and government organizations to develop our sport without sacrificing education. However, thanks to the support from the Catholic University San Antonio, I could reconcile my sport with my studies in Physical Activities and Sport Sciences.”
