Rijsenburg Arrives at RSL Academy with Lofty Credentials and Expectations

When Dell Loy Hansen built the Zions Bank Training Center in Herriman, he envisioned a future where the U.S. National Team lined up in a World Cup match with a roster that included several players that developed at Real Salt Lake’s state-of-the-art facility.

It takes much more than pristine fields or premium training and fitness equipment to develop players into stars, though. Already with a top-flight staff in place with some of the best-established coaches in the country working under Academy Director Tom Spall, RSL added another stellar piece to complete that puzzle when Arnold Rijsenburg signed as Director of Academy Coaching.
