Rafael Nadal launches Rafa Nadal Sports University

| by Alfredo Bassanelli

The 21-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal will have another place for educating young people besides his academy in Mallorca as the Spaniard launches UAX Rafa Nadal Sports University.

Rafa Nadal Academy is one of the most popular projects from Rafael Nadal as he just recently launched his third tennis center in Hong Kong. Now, the Spaniard will open also his own university, which will be called UAX Rafa Nadal Sports University.

UAX and Rafa Nadal have teamed up to create a one-of-a-kind university proposal that combines Rafa Nadal's work model, which is known for his values, sports, and academic methodology, with the DNA of UAX, which is comprised of academic excellence, disruptive learning, innovation, and professional connection.

The combination should allow students to do two of the most important things in the life of an emerging athlete, and that's studying, as well as growing as an athlete in their sport.

The university is situated in Madrid, and its facilities should help the players reach the highest highs, as they will have an option to train professionally, while getting the best possible education.

"Today we have presented in Madrid a very important project for me. I am especially excited to join the Alfonso X el Sabio University. Training and education facilitate and help improve the future of young people, which is why the bases of UAX Rafa Nadal Sports University are to work with young people, giving them the necessary tools through education, health and sport."

It's one of the many projects that Nadal is invested in and that contribute to better future. The Spaniard is certainly one of the people that is taking care of the next generation, and he's doing that via multiple projects that he runs.

In the coming weeks, he'll hope to have similar success also on the tennis court as he'll challenge for his 22nd Grand Slam title at the 2022 Roland Garros.
