Q&A with Justen Glad: Young defender on RSL experience

Related Topics: Real Salt Lake, Justen Glad

What made you interested in the RSL academy and what makes it different from other academies?

Justen Glad: Well, I had two friends from club soccer who ended up going to the Real Salt Lake academy the year before I did. And then after they played a season they told me I should go check it out and try out. That's how I got involved with the whole academy system.

The Real Salt Lake academy is different from other academies because, I mean, first of all, it's a residential academy so we got around 70 kids living there full time, which brings a different dynamic than different academies throughout the country I think.
