Career
youth
Celestrín started Taekwondo at the age of five with his first trainer Eduardo Frómeta, who also discovered him. In 1995 the EIDE sports school in Havana recognized the youngster's talent and accepted him. Alberto Celestrín trained there for three years until he moved to ESPA Provincial at the age of 15 under the direction of Alain Álvarez. At this sports school he learned not only Taekwondo but also boxing and took part in first league fights. He also trained there with the youth national team under coach Ignacio Gato and Nelson Saenz Miller.
Professional career

From the Caribbean, Celestrín then went to Friedrichshafen , where he trained with the Taekwondo BSV under the then national trainer Markus Kohlöffel . From 2007 to 2009 he led the European rankings. After receiving German citizenship in 2011, he has been training with the German national team since then, where he is also nominated for the Olympic squad. In 2012 he missed participation in the London Olympics . Alberto Celestrín is currently a member of the German Taekwondo Union (DTU) and trains at TCI Ingelheim.
