Acknowledgment to FICS and Logan University for the Masters Scholarship 2024 I would like to express my deepest gratitude to FICS (the International Federation of Sports Chiropractic) for granting me the scholarship at Logan University to pursue my Master’s in Sports Science and Rehabilitation from 2024 to 2025. This program has strengthened my knowledge in biomechanics, human movement, extremity rehabilitation, clinical nutrition, research, and more. I am now committed to applying these skills to benefit athletes in my community and beyond. Starting this October, I will be presenting a lecture on the introduction to scientific research at a congress in Veracruz, and I plan to continue offering courses to students and recent graduates to share this knowledge and contribute to improving sports care both in Mexico and in international events.
One of my greatest dreams, inspired by this program, is to serve as a chiropractor for a professional soccer team in my country. I would also like to thank Logan University and all of my professors for delivering such an outstanding program. While the program was almost entirely online, I was able to complete my practical requirements in my city in Mexico. I am honored to share that I graduated with honors—an achievement made possible by the personal commitment I made not only to myself but, above all, to FICS. I dedicated my full effort and hard work to this program.
Finally, I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to my family, especially my wife, for supporting me and caring for our children while I dedicated myself to this academic journey. Once again, thank you to the FICS leadership for this remarkable initiative. I hope it continues to thrive, and I look forward to proudly representing FICS in everything I do.
For me, graduation was a very special moment because I completed the Master of Science in Sports Rehabilitation program at Logan University with honors. This achievement was especially meaningful to me not only because of the extensive study and dedication it required, but also because of my personal circumstances. I am a father of two children, a 9-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son, and during the program I was also expecting another baby, who was born shortly before I finished. Balancing family responsibilities with the demands of graduate school made this accomplishment one of the greatest achievements of my life.
