Cadet Viewpoint: Carlos Villarreal '25 from Monterrey, Mexico

Cadet Carlos Villarreal '25 from Monterrey, Mexico talks about his experience as an MMA cadet.

When asked what three words he would use to describe MMA are, Cadet Villarreal listed preparation, fun, and success.

"The most important I've learned at MMA ... is how much we can do. We as humans, I think we doubt ourselves too much and we think we are not capable of many things, but our brain is way more powerful than we think. We can do many things. That's something I've learned here, ranging from the Crucible to singing at a competition."
