Kickoff is slated for 7:15 p.m. for World Cup Celebration Night. Reno’s unbeaten streak began with a win over the playoff-contending Portland Timbers 2 back on April 21 in Portland.

Forward Brian Brown leads the club with five goals while Antoine Hoppenot sits atop the assist rankings with six. Portland has maintained its excellent form despite going 2-3 in their past five matches.

My parents are distinctly French, my extended family still lives in France, and I was born in the city of love: Paris. Up until the age of two, I was just about as French as it gets. That is until my parents decided to trek across the Atlantic and make camp in a Philadelphia suburb. Ripping me away from the creamiest cheeses and the softest baguettes to a city where they combine inferior Americanized ingredients to create the delicious world famous cheesesteak. As I aged and grew up (minimally height wise), at first in Pennsylvania, and then in New Jersey, so began my journey into the world of soccer. As most young kids do, I picked up team sports like baseball, basketball and soccer around age six. At age seven, I got beaned in the head during an at-bat, thus ending my illustrious baseball career without ever getting even a single hit. [Enter jokes here from my teammates about how I’ve headed the ball more in my baseball career than my soccer one.]but significant difference that has seen the Reno look more dangerous in the attacking third. “Last year I came to Reno for a week and really liked it. So that’s why I made my decision to come here and develop as a player.” A DASH OF “THE ANSWER” W/ SWAGGER Basketball became an issue once I realized that my dreams of being 6-foot-6 may never materialize. That dream stayed alive throughout high school. But I continued with soccer as it was the only sport that I was relatively good at. Baseball and basketball did have an important effect on my soccer career though. Baseball teaching me never to head the ball, and basketball by introducing me to the 76ers and Allen Iverson. Weirdly enough, he became the first to shape my attitude on a soccer field. Anyone who has seen Allen Iverson play basketball understands the incredible energy that he put out every night. Generously listed at six-foot tall, he would drive with reckless abandon into the paint and draw contact against bigger, stronger, and taller players. He was a fearless ball of energy, which is something that I always admired. His ability to change the game with this fearlessness and desire to create a scoring opportunity was something I knew I could add to the way I played soccer. There is no athlete outside of soccer who has had a 11 HOW ANTOINE HOPPENOT WAS MOLDED - 2 PARTS “WENGERBALL” GUNNER STYLE Around the same time, Arsene Wenger became the Arsenal manager, and soon afterwards Thierry Henry joined him as a Gunner. Other than drinking wine and eating cheese, being an Arsenal fan in the early 2000s is as French as it gets. With the likes of Patrick Vieira, Thierry Henry, Nicolas Anelka, Emmanuelle Petit and Robert Pires among others, there was always a pleth- ora of French players to look up to. As a young striker, Thierry Henry was obviously a player I admired, and thus tried to mirror my game to his. His combination of pace and skill was an absolute nightmare to play against. He used his talent and an impressive will to win to become a game changer and ultimately a legend of the sport. These were traits I wanted to add in my own game. All the while, Wenger was implementing what became known as “Wengerball.” A style of play that focused on possession and decision making in an effort to not only win, but control the game. This philosophy has stuck with me ever since I grew up watching the “Invincibles” dominate an entire season in 2003-04. A BASE OF BULGARIAN GRIT While watching others compete, my own youth career was beginning to take shape. After moving to Princeton, I joined a local Princeton soccer team that was coached by a newly appointed Bulgarian coach named Stoyan Pumpalov. He had just arrived in the U.S. after a lengthy professional career back in his home country. He brought a Bulgarian grit and intensity that is only prevalent in people who are able to translate the efforts necessary to be successful in life to the world of sports. As years passed his passion and love for the game seeped into everything my teammates and I did. He brought together a group of local kids and created a team that was able to compete with the biggest youth clubs in the state. For the most important formative years of my youth soccer career, he was the one who was molding me into the player I am today. To this day that Bulgarian intensity, and occasional insanity, still guides me through tough practices and games. 4 YEARS SCOTTISH TUTELAGE For the last four years of my youth career, I was also competing with my high school team. This team was lead by a Scottish coach named Malcolm Murphy, who had played at the highest level throughout his youth and professional career in England. His British attitude and view about soccer, which consisted of a combination of hard work and sacrifice for each other, helped shape a group of players with little playing experience into an adequate team. Preseason consisted of mostly running around the field without a ball, and 1v1 drills that everyone lovingly described as secret fitness. He was tough on players, even pushing some to the breaking point. For the four years there, I was lovingly referred to as an “arrogant #$*+!”. His uncompromising stance forced my teammates and I to build a thick skin, and the capacity to take criticism in whatever form it came. 2 PARTS AMERICAN INSIGHT INFUSED WITH TIGER BLOOD After a youth career that was dominated by French, Scottish, and Bulgarian influences I moved on to Princeton University where I had the opportunity to play for the Tigers and learn from an American legend, Jim Barlow. He was coached by Bob Bradley throughout his college career and has been the head coach of Princeton University’s men’s soccer team for over 20 years. Throughout his coaching career he’s worked closely with U.S. youth programs, and he brought this plethora of experience to coaching me for the four years I was there. Coach Barlow and our assistant coach Steve Totten helped imprint on my teammates and I the importance of tactical ideas and defensive organization. It was the important next step in my lifelong soccer education. Pairing these complex tactical ideas with the grit and discipline learned during my youth career helped me understand the game of soccer at a more macro level. 12 THE MOST REFRESHING FINISH ©2018 COORS BREWING CO., GOLDEN, CO TEAM #1 RUSSELL KLABOUGH (GK) Klabough, 27, spent a majority of last season on Reno’s practice squad, but started in a 6-1 win over Portland Timbers 2. He was Reno’s starting goal- keeper in two U.S. Open Cup Matches. He posted a 67 percent save percentage, the second-highest on the team and was 1-0 during the regular sea- son.

    Alex Gallardo Irene Carlson Gallery of Photography Eyes on the Ball April 11 through May 20, 2011 An exhibition of photographs Miller Hall, University of La Verne Photographer’s Statement My start in photojournalism began with a slide show program during a beginning photo class at the University of La Verne. It was presented by a well-known photojournalist at the The Sun in San Bernardino, Tom Kasser. His work opened my eyes. Once I had seen what he could do with a camera, it brought me to see, and not just look, at the world around me. Kasser gave me a goal to strive for, to work at The Sun as a staff photographer. Through my undergraduate career I learned the mechanics of the craft. As a lifetime baseball player I already had the competitive gene so I redirected my passion for athletics toward photography. I took a detour in my quest to be a photojournalist after graduating from ULV. A huge mistake cost me thirteen months of my professional life, and almost the use of my legs. I drove a dump truck backwards over a cliff, spent three months in a hospital and at home in a body cast recuperating from injuries. I spent another nine months in physical therapy learning to walk. Doctors told me that I might not regain the use of my legs or walk without assistance for least five years, if ever. Luckily, I had a great physical therapist. We worked hard every day and prayed to regain the use of my legs. Once I began to walk doctors cleared me to continue as a photographer and stay away from driving trucks.

  • MLS: Five Things to Watch Post All-Star Game
    MLS: Five Things to Watch Post All-Star Game Author : Steven Jotterand Tonight the soccer world turns to Chicago, Illinois. Well, sort of. MLS will field their best against the epic Real Madrid in a glorified exhibition match. This All-Star game signals a transition to the second half of the season. Clubs will begin to turn up the heat as the hunt for the Cup begins. Here are five things to look out for post the All-Star game: LA Galaxy & Orlando City’s Push: In 2016, the Seattle Sounders lost 12 of their first 20 games. Two days after their 12th loss, they sacked Sigi Schmid and hired Brian Schmetzer as interim. One day after naming their new man in charge, Seattle made a splash and signed creative Uruguayan midfielder Nicklas Lodeiro as a Designated Player. A club that was trending nowhere, changed their fortunes around. Within weeks, they were one of the most feared clubs in the league. The Sounders also went on to lift the MLS Cup. 1 / 3 The Galaxy are pretty much exactly in the same position heading into the All-Star Game as Sounders was in 2016. Having lost ten of the first 21 games and sitting in ninth in a weaker Western Conference, the board sacked Curt Onalfo, hired Sigi Schmid, and signed Mexican international attacking midfielder Jonathan dos Santos from Villarreal as a Designated player.

  • Vision Testing and Visual Training in Sport
    VISION TESTING AND VISUAL TRAINING IN SPORT by LUKE WILKINS A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences College of Life and Environmental Sciences University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis examines vision testing and visual training in sport. Through four related studies, the predictive ability of visual and perceptual tests was examined in a range of activities including driving and one-handed ball catching. The potential benefits of visual training methods were investigated (with particular emphasis on stroboscopic training), as well as the mechanisms that may underpin any changes. A key theme throughout the thesis was that of task representativeness; a concept by which it is believed the more a study design reflects the environment it is meant to predict, the more valid and reliable the results obtained are. Chapter one is a review of the literature highlighting the key areas which the thesis as a whole addresses. Chapter’s two to five include the studies undertaken in this thesis and follow the same format each time; an introduction to the relevant research, a methods section detailing the experimental procedure, a results section which statistically analysed the measures employed, and a discussion of the findings with reference to the existing literature.
