Born in La Unión, Zacapa, Cordón was named after former England international footballer Kevin Keegan,〔(Guatemalan Cordon's dream run goes on | Reuters )〕 of whom his father was a fan. In spite of badminton not being popular in Guatemala during his childhood, he became a badminton player as he thought it would give him a better chance of one day becoming an Olympian than if he played a different sport, being the first member of his family to practice the sport.〔(Badminton | U.S. Open badminton competitor Kevin Cordon - Los Angeles Times )〕 He began playing at the age of 11 and by 1998 he was a part of the Zacapa Department's youth team.〔(Diario de Centro América - Deportes )〕 After winning the Silver Medal at the 2007 Pan American Games, Cordón qualified to the 2008 Olympic Games, and was selected as the flag bearer of his nation's Olympic team.
