Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake is the Major League Soccer Team here in Utah. They just started the team here a few years ago. Last year they won the Championship against the LA Galaxy (who has David Beckham). Anyway so they are kind of a big deal:)

Matt's major in school is communications/ marketing/ PR. He would really love to do PR for a pro sports team one day. Specifically the Chargers or Padres. Which is why it is so cool that a few weeks ago he got an internship working for the Real. His internship is doing sales calls, but last week was the first home game of the season and he was able to work along side the PR guy for the team. He had to go in at 3pm and did not get home until almost midnight. I said a lot of work went into what these guys do, but he really had a great time. He got to run out on the field and watch the game in the press box and go to the after game interviews. He really enjoyed it.

At first he was not so excited about the sales call part, but he really liked working at the game. I am so proud of him for working hard to pursue his dreams. Not to mention I like sports and I would more then love to live in San Diego one day. Haha that's jumping ahead a little but its something to look forward to right :)
