Dario Escobar '21 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to make it where my parents didn't, to have more opportunities than they had so I can become a better person. I want to go to college, get a scholarship and be known. i want people to acknowledge what I've done and what I've been through. I have 7 years of goalkeeping experience and have been through a lot of the challenges and goalkeeper has to go through. I know what is coming and I've gone through those challenges and still going today. I've trained with two professional goalkeepers in my life and have gotten great feedback from them. One man that is retired, Martin "El Pulpo" Zuniga, ex-goalkeeper for Chivas de Guadelajara division one Mexican team, has seen me train and seen how I play and taught me better ways to dive and better positions to cover the goal. Another man, Bernd Leno(Arsenal Goalkeeper) has also seen me train and told me I can make it if I keep going. Many other coaches have trained me and also played a role on how I am today. The different ways to help me stop that ball from getting in, they have put me through the hard work. I've been on many teams and needed to quickly learn how to be that voice in the back because I have the most important one. My passion for this game, for my position helps me fight through the pain.
