I felt it was a complete experience, with specialized classes, highly qualified teachers, visits to sports facilities, and also immersing ourselves in the culture of sports. I loved the experience.

    The professors

    I really enjoyed my time on Johan Cruyff institute, the facilities, the people and how warm they received us. Tino was great the entire time with us he definitely made the whole experience better. The professors were excellent, I learned so much and definitely have a different perspective towards sports. Last but not least I’m very grateful for seeing the Espanyol, Girona and La Masia facilities and learning things outside the classroom.

    Innovation within the sports/business sector

    First of all, everyone at the Johan Cruyff Institute was incredibly kind and patient with us, very attentive to everything, including the professors who clearly knew what they were doing. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t have made us rethink our perspective on Mexican sports and its development, or how we could use different approaches to do things differently. The course may have been short, but I learned a lot.
    Thank you!
