Personal trainer

Keylor is one of the best goalkeepers of his generation. The Costa Rican international made his mark playing for Spanish side Levante. In just one season he drew attention to himself after his great goalkeeping saves in numerous games in the Primera Division. His story took over the world very quickly, especially after he stated that he worked really hard to get to the level he is at today. Searching YouTube, we came across a video from 2014 of Keylor working on improving his goalkeeping skills. In our view, his approach to training is complete and it’s no wonder he’s made it this far. Hard work definitely paid off for Keylor.
