HAMDEN – Roberto Casillas was on his way to playing professional soccer in Mexico before a serious injury changed everything.
Casillas would train hard every day, skipping the parties with his friends to focus on his soccer career. A broken patellar tendon would sideline Casillas for two years, and cut his soccer career short. Since then, he’s come to Quinnipiac to pursue a career in becoming a soccer journalist.
“I want to be a soccer journalist or be in sports media covering soccer,” Casillas said. “That’s a part of sports media in the US that is not as competitive, as say, Mexico would be.”
This is only the beginning for Roberto, and he’s excited for what lies ahead.
“Who knows where life’s gonna take me,” Casillas said.
