Danny Leyva is an extremely driven individual.
Every offseason, Leyva creates a list of goals he’d like to achieve in the upcoming year. Adorned on the wall of his childhood bedroom in Las Vegas, Nev., the list covers his ambitions on and off the pitch.
After a strong 2019 campaign – he impressed in several starts for the First Team in MLS, guided the U-17s to become the first MLS side to win the Generation adidas Cup Champions Division, and earned a place in the U.S. U-17 World Cup team – Leyva’s objectives for 2020 reflected his desire to build upon that breakout season.
