Brooks Lennon is Real Salt Lake’s most competitive player, fueling his quest to one day become team captain

Herriman • Brooks Lennon receives a pass from an assistant coach, settles the ball and strikes it hard. Reserve keeper Andrew Putna bats it away, causing Lennon to loudly let out an expletive.

After a few of his teammates have a go, it’s Lennon’s turn again. He receives the pass, settles the ball and, this time, beats Putna and finds the back of the net. After the goal, Lennon says something quietly to himself, his face displaying frustration and satisfaction simultaneously.

But Lennon is never really satisfied. He can’t be. It’s not in his nature.
