Keylor Navas tells young footballers: 'Live for the game, not off it'

Veteran goalkeeper Keylor Navas has offered candid advice to the next generation of footballers, urging them to focus on the essence of the sport itself. Navas stressed the critical distinction between dedicating one's life *to* football and living *off* of football's rewards.

"Hay que vivir para el fútbol, no de lo que el fútbol da," Navas stated, translating to "You have to live for football, not off what football gives you." He underscored the necessity for young athletes to maintain their priorities straight as they navigate their careers in the demanding world of professional sports.

Navas, known for his successful career with clubs like Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as representing Costa Rica internationally, shared these reflections. He was previously in the country in March for a promotional event related to his motocross team, an endeavor that highlights his diverse interests beyond the football pitch.
