Keylor is one of the best goalkeepers of his generation. The Costa Rican international has made a name for himself while he played for the Spanish team Levante, where just in a season, he started attracting all the attention towards himself after his terrific goalkeeping parades in numerous matches 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 where he is today. While searching on YouTube, we ran into one video of 2014 in which Keylor is working on improving his goalkeeping skills. From our perspective, his training approach is complete, and it’s no wonder how he made it this far. For Keylor, hard work definitely paid off.
