“I'm very, very fortunate to be in such a great situation and I know that I'm not here on my own. So I want to be able to give back to communities.” Manchester City goalkeeper zacksteffen_ is using his platform to help the next generation...
In 2014, a young Zack Steffen watched his idol Tim Howard produce one of the best goalkeeping performances in World Cup history.
The Manchester City man is living the dream, having become one of many American shotstoppers to play in the Premier League – a competition he used to watch the highlights of when he was a youngster. Steffen signed for City in 2019 in a deal that Columbus Crew said was the most expensive in MLS history for a goalkeeper.
“His grades weren't good in school, so we had to find a keeper. I raised my hand and did well and had fun with it. And it just stuck.” “I had to pick which sport I wanted to go with and I was best at football. I had the most fun with football so that's what I decided to go with.” “I have had conversations, obviously, about all types of different stuff. So it has just stayed close. And I was in Germany at the time with my sister during COVID and I saw this video. And I just got talking, and we want to make a difference and use our platforms for more than just personal wealth and personal gain.
“And without them I know I wouldn't be here. So, I want to give back and give these kids that need a helping hand and need resources and opportunities. I want to help provide that for these kids and give them hope and motivation that they can walk in my shoes someday.” Family is everything for Steffen, who was the words"forever my family" and four German words as a nod to his four younger siblings – sisters Katy and Lexy and brothers Ben and Cole.
Calm and laid-back, Steffen is almost the antithesis of the stereotypical goalkeeper but he also has the “strong mentality” to be the last line of defence and ultimately a leader.
