Excellent book - very honest and open about the ups and downs of his lifeBy BrentGreat book that shows the 'real' Jimmy Nielsen...through the highs and lows. We know him in the U.S. as a great goalkeeper...but he's got a great story prior to that as well. If you want to read a book where someone honestly shares how they navigate life...even when they aren't perfect, this is a great book to read.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I Loved ItBy mark keyThis book was a very easy read.I started reading this on Friday and finished on Sunday.Jimmy writes more about his on personal triumphs and trials than he does about his life with Sporting KC.I also have been addicted to gambling and I thought his perspective on that was very interesting.If you are a soccer fan or not this book is definitely worth a read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

  • Sporting KC President and CEO Jake Reid Named a Green Ribbon Champion
    SPORTING KC COMMUNICATIONS [email protected] Sporting KC President and CEO Jake Reid named a Green Ribbon Champion Reid joins local leaders in Midwest Transplant Network campaign (May 6, 2019) - Sporting Kansas City President and CEO Jake Reid was announced as a Green Ribbon Champion today by Midwest Transplant Network, joining a diverse coalition of local leaders committed to increasing the number of registered organ donors in communities across Kansas and Missouri. "Organ donation has always been something that I've felt strongly about," Reid said. "I'm passionate about helping others, and I don't think there's a greater cause in terms of helping someone else. It's one of the greatest gifts you can give." Midwest Transplant Network recently celebrated the one-year anniversary of its Green Ribbon Campaign, which launched in April 2018 with community outreach, multimedia awareness and partner support. The green ribbon serves as an iconic symbol to represent the generous act of giving hope and sharing life by joining the Organ and Tissue Donor Registry. "Last year, we facilitated more than 800 organ transplants, and we are eager to increase that impact in 2019," said Jan Finn, president and CEO of Midwest Transplant Network. "We are thrilled to partner with Jake Reid and Sporting Kansas City to spread the word that saying yes to organ donation gives everyone the chance to save lives and be hometown heroes." Reid, 36, joined Sporting Kansas City in 2010 and has served as president of the two-time Major League Soccer champions since 2016. In addition to local accolades from the Kansas City Business Journal and Ingram's Magazine, Reid has been honored nationally by the Sports Business Journal and internationally by Leaders.

Hale, Sr. Current Value ($/Mil): N/A Team Website @BaltimoreBlast Stadium: Royal Farms Arena Date Built: 1962 Facility Cost ($/Mil): N/A Facility Financing: N/A Facility website UPDATE: The Baltimore Business Journal stated there is a new proposal for a $450 million waterfront arena along the Inner Harbor of Baltimore. It is planned to hold 15-16,000 seats. This would replace the fifty-two-year old Royal Farms Arena. The proposal by Cordish Companies still needs approval by the city, and it is still in the exploratory stage. Talks have stalled due to upcoming mayoral elections in fall 2016, so the team still plays at Royal Farms Arena. The Baltimore Blast left the MASL and started the IPL in May 2016 with three other teams joining it. The IPL’s inaugural season is 2016-17. NAMING RIGHTS: The First Mariner Bank’s naming rights contract ended in December 2012 when it was renamed Baltimore Arena. In September 2014, the arena was renamed Royal Farms Arena after an eighteen-month search for a purchaser. Royal Farms will pay $250,000 annually over five years for the naming rights and have the option to renegotiate the deal after five years. © Copyright 2016, National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School Page 1 Team: Florida Tropic SC Principal Owner: Andrew Haines Current Value ($/Mil): N/A Team Website @FLTropicsSC Stadium: Lakeland Center Date Built: 1974 Facility Cost ($/Mil): N/A Facility Financing: N/A Facility Website UPDATE: The team will play in the IPL’s inaugural season, 2016-17.
