Senior Spotlight: "El Futbolista", Yair Castro

From summer to spring soccer does not stop for Yair. Yair, the future soccer star who helped Hackett win a district championship against K Christian and many other games.

At the age of three Yair started playing soccer for AYSO and then moved to a local hispanic community soccer league all throughout elementary at El Sol Elementary and then Milwood Middle School where he developed his skill and love for the game. 

In high school Yair came to Hackett and he joined the soccer team. He loved to play for the team. Yair said “My favorite soccer memory is scoring against K Chirstian to help win the District Championship this year”. Yair hopes to continue playing soccer for adult leagues and clubs in the future

This past December Yair went to Mexico to visit his grandma and had a great trip. He went to see family and help raise and take care of the many sheep his grandma has. Yair also said “I ate many tamales down in Mexico that my grandma made, they were all delicious. 

Another hobby of Yair is basketball. Yair said “I'm a hooper when I'm not on the soccer field, my favorite player is King Lebron and I play just like him.” Right now Yair works at Lowes and next year he will attend KVCC to study HVAC. After graduation he wants to get his own HVAC business somewhere warm and he said “I want to move to Texas to have my HVAC business because you know it's hot down there, people need their A/C units.”
