Episode Description

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.

More about Making Of A Moment

In sports, there are moments that transcend a single game. But what if we told you how that on-field moment was created? If you knew the myriad of people who make sacrifices, choices – if you knew the full messy, complicated, gut-wrenching truth- it might change your opinion of those legendary plays. 

In Making of a Moment Season 1 - The RSL Story - host Amy Donaldson looks at the unlikely 2021 playoff run of Real Salt Lake. 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.
