Introducing Making Of A Moment | The RSL Story

Thursday, October 10, 2024 • Duration 03:07

In sports there are moments that transcend a single game. What if you knew all that went into how that on-field moment was created? The Real Salt Lake is an iconic soccer team. It wasn't always that way. This season, host Amy Donaldson looks at the RSL's unlikely 2021 playoff run. That post-season performance from a team expected to finish last is much more than the Cinderella story witnessed by RSL faithful. It’s the story of an underdog club engaged in a fight for survival off the field, while trying to prove they deserved to compete for a championship. Coming October 21st, 2024.

Ep1 | The Unraveling

Season 1 · Episode 1

Monday, October 21, 2024 • Duration 42:01

August 27, 2020 is a day Real Salt Lake faithful and staff remember well - but not for what happened on the pitch. That’s the day the smallest Major League Soccer team was thrown into chaos by the man who once saved the club from financial ruin - their billionaire owner.

But what most fans didn’t realize is that when Real Salt Lake made an unlikely playoff run in 2021, the seeds for that moment were planted during that 2020 crisis. A crisis that led to the owner’s downfall.

Ep2 | Utah IS the place for soccer

Season 1 · Episode 2

Wednesday, October 23, 2024 • Duration 01:03:12

Professional soccer got its start in Utah thanks to the visionary leadership and relentless will of an NBA executive. It was Utah native Dave Checketts who bought an MLS franchise and decided to put it in his home state. He fought political and financial battles to establish a club that would do what no other professional sports franchise in Utah has ever managed to do - win a championship. But while sports aficionados are fond of saying “there is no problem winning can’t solve”, that turned out not to be true for RSL and Dave Checketts.

Friday, November 1, 2024 • Duration 44:01

Dave Checketts was working for the NBA when he fell in love with soccer while traveling in Europe.

Ep3 | The Midas Touch

Season 1 · Episode 3

Wednesday, October 30, 2024 • Duration 01:02:57

Real Salt Lake’s new owner - Dell Loy Hansen - called the club “a state trust” and hoped his contribution to soccer in Utah would become his legacy. He invested millions in a development academy, training facilities, a minor league team and eventually a National Women’s Soccer League club. But players and staff said RSL shifted from a familial ideal to a more transactional organization, and a toxic culture took hold and infected every aspect of the club. Even those who saw it, who hated it, who tried to do something about it, were powerless to create meaningful change. Things shifted when Hansen spoke out in a radio interview where he not only revealed that rot, he also lit a match that threatened to consume everything he’d built.

Ep4 | That Colorado Guy

Season 1 · Episode 4

Wednesday, November 6, 2024 • Duration 59:04

When Real Salt Lake’s head coach stuns everyone by quitting with 10 weeks left in the season, he leaves the team in the hands of a man RSL fans once loved to hate. And despite his unsavory history with the club, he seems uniquely suited to lead a team without an owner, picked to finish last, and abandoned by their head coach in August of 2021 to an unlikely playoff berth. All he has to do is lead Real Salt Lake to a win on the road on the last day of the regular season.

Bonus 3 | The Kyle Beckerman interview

Season 1 · Episode 3

Friday, November 8, 2024 • Duration 53:46

There is no player who embodies the culture of Real Salt Lake than Kyle Beckerman. When he was traded from Colorado to Utah in 2007, he instantly changed the culture of RSL’s locker room. He captained the team from 2008 until he retired in 2020. Beckerman has seen the club through its rise to glory - and through its bleakest times. This episode gives you more of his background, his time in Colorado where RSL head coach Pablo Mastroeni became his friend and mentor and what it was like to try and win soccer games when the front office was in chaos.

Episode 5 | Cinderella Crashes the Ball

Season 1 · Episode 5

Wednesday, November 13, 2024 • Duration 51:30

Real Salt Lake's 2021 Decision Day victory gave them the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. But they barely had time to celebrate when they were hit with another blow. Their reward for making the playoffs? A chance to play the Sounders - in Seattle. The team that had stolen their coach in August, a team that boasted one of the most potent offenses was standing between them and a fairy tale ending.

Bonus Episode 4 | Jason Kreis

Season 1 · Episode 4

Friday, November 15, 2024 • Duration 56:41

When Jason Kreis became the first player signed by Real Salt Lake founder Dave Checketts in November of 2004, he’d never even been to Utah. But 20 years later, it’s difficult to say if Kreis had more of an impact on the club - or if the club - and the community - have had more of an impact on Jason Kreis. In this bonus episode, Kreis talks about his departure, why he wanted to return to the club, why the culture at RSL is unique, and what he hopes the club means to Utah.
