Real Salt Lake officially opened training camp for the 2019 season Monday, marking the start of a campaign during which the team has one goal in mind: be better than last year.
While improvement is a simple concept, it can take many forms. Last season, RSL went on an impressive run in the playoffs, despite needing some help to qualify. The season before, it missed the postseason.
Real also took pride in how any minutes some of its youngest signees played. Corey Baird won Rookie of the Year, and players such as Brooks Lennon and Aaron Herrera established themselves as regular contributors in the starting 11.
