It was an amazing experience. The Career in Sports Forum helped me navigate the transition from being a student-athlete to the real world. They helped me understand the challenges I was going through, gave me tools to tackle them, and shed light on different, lesser-known paths within the world of sports.

I was guided through the process of finding meaning and value away from the pitch. It was like they took away the ‘athlete’ label that I had on and replaced it with a ‘Pablo’ label, showing me that I am far more than just a student-athlete.

I leave Indianapolis with a lot of new friends and connections that I am sure I will keep along the line. I gained invaluable insights from inspiring professionals and above all, understand my responsibility to share all that I have learned with fellow student-athletes going through the same transition, as well as with hundreds of other international student-athletes that could be inspired by this experience. I definitely encourage Adelphi to keep nominating students every year. I am beyond grateful for the support that I have received from the Athletics Department to be able to get a spot in such a competitive program.
