Ander Cubillas has always traveled hand in hand with sport. Since he was a child he practiced paddle tennis and handball, but in 2014 he discovered a new discipline. “I remember that at that time the name of Caroline Marin. That’s how I discovered badminton and I started to love it. Playing sports, whatever it is, is one of my passions, and that’s why I decided to try it. I was good at it and just two years after starting I was proclaimed champion of Spain”, affirms a Cubillas who decided to step aside a few months ago. “I love playing badminton, I enjoy it a lot, but there came a time when I had to decide. I made too many trips and my true dream was to play sports with my friends. It was also added that just this year I have come to Pamplona to study Industrial Engineering, so the time I have is much less. I decided to give up badminton and bet on football.”
ARRIVE AND KISS THE SAINT
He still does not remember what he did in the celebration of the goal. It is something that usually happens. He attributes it to being a “very passionate” person. “At that time I am not aware. I live things a lot, both the good and the bad. The joy after the goal was immense, like when you win a national championship, but the opposite happens to me when I lose. It’s something I can’t stand. I have it very bad, but little by little I am improving it. It is also true that this competitive character that I have has helped me to grow as an athlete”.
