Join us on the Todo Latino Show as we sit down with Caleb Sanchez, a remarkable young athlete of Salvadorian and Filipino heritage. Growing up in the sports-centric environment of Carson, California, Caleb's story is one of passion and perseverance. He shares his experiences from playing multiple sports to honing in on football at St. John Bosco High School. Caleb reflects on his dual cultural influences, his curiosity about his Salvadorian roots, and the strong presence of Filipino culture in his community.
What does it take to transition from high school sports to a prestigious university like Columbia? Caleb takes us behind the scenes of his college decision-making process, highlighting the late recruitment that led him to this Ivy League school. Listen as he discusses the competitive nature of securing a spot on the football team, the challenges of balancing academics and athletics, and his excitement about exploring New York City's vibrant life. With an undecided major, Caleb's journey is filled with endless possibilities, as he contemplates futures in business or journalism, all while savoring the memory of his mom's homemade meals.
