In 2020 he underwent surgery in one finger as he had a collateral rupture in one ligament. (weriselatam.com, 12 Jul 2021)

He has struggled with a chronic injury in the patella [kneecap] of his right knee. He missed the entire 2018 season after undergoing surgery. (marca.com, 23 May 2020; com.org.mx, 07 Nov 2017)

He took up the sport at age seven. (weriselatam.com, 12 Jul 2021)

He was encouraged to take up the sport by his mother. He did not consider the sport as something serious until he realised there was a competition named the Olympic Games. "As a boy you are only playing and you do not care that much. As long as years went and I started competing, I realised there was a high level of competition and that is the Olympic Games. I think it was at around 10 or 11 years old that I said, 'I want to go there!'" (weriselatam.com, 12 Jul 2021)

He trains at the High Performance Centre in Monterrey, Mexico. (gob.mx, 03 Sep 2020)

He was recipient of the Nuevo Leon State Sports Award in 2019. (indenl.gob.mx, 15 Nov 2019)

BODY TYPE
He believes that his body type is not ideal for diving, but that his mental strength helps overcome this disadvantage. "I have long legs so my body type is more for ballet, marathon running or swimming. It takes me more effort to perform the dives because I have to train to carry my legs at the time of rising them up during execution. My mental talent is above all of that. I know that my brain is trained to work and to send signals to my body to tell it I have to work more. My body is thin and tall so it takes me more, but I know what I do."
