Please coaches, if you enjoy the work can you leave a rating and a review? Thanks so much! - Gary We are joined by Michael Paule-Carres Methodologist at RCD Espanyol de Barcelona. Michael's journey is a fascinating one. As an Honors Society student at Kalamazoo College, it looked like Michael was destined for a career in the lab as a chemist. But a change of heart and a brave step into a Spanish La Liga course opened up the doors for him to work at one of the best academies in Europe. In this interview, Michael discusses his journey, as well as sharing the insights to academy methodology at Espanyol.

Good morning lacrosse fans! I hope you are doing well and thank you for spending some time reading the Utah Lax Report. If you enjoy what you read, please forward to a friend! The podcast is a little different and I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to leave any comments below or respond to this email! News & UpdatesIf you didn't hear, the Premier Lacrosse League is going to have a tournament style, quarantined season beginning on July 25 and ending on August 9. They are calling it the Championship Series and each team will play 4 games and then go into a playoff structure. The format is similar to a World Cup or the Lacrosse World Championships. Obviously it's a bummer that they won't be coming to Utah, but at least we'll get live lacrosse this summer! In the local press, the Daily Herald spotlighted Timpanogos girls lacrosse captain McCall Dunn. “In addition to staying in shape, Dunn is completing her senior course load online, working at a wholesale nursery and going on frequent hikes.” Read the full article here. Also, Utah attackman Colin Burke was selected as the No. 3 player in the 2020 Major League Lacrosse draft. KSL writer and friend of lacrosse, Sean Walker, penned an article about Burke turning pro. There's a podcast in that article as well where Walker interviews Burke about becoming a New York Lizard. Tomorrow at 2:00 p.m., U.S. Lacrosse is hosting a ‘Team Huddle Webinar' and will feature two Team USA players in Marcus Holman (Men's Attack) and Kerrigan Miller (Women's Midfield). It is free to U.S. Lacrosse Members and you can register here. Last but not least, Tribal West opened a second store in the state, known as Tribal West North! The store is located at 600 S State St. STE 4, Clearfield, Utah 84105. It opened two Saturdays ago and is ready for your business. It features all the same things that the Sandy store offers so check it out! You can also shop online. If you didn't already listen to the podcast above, you should check it out. I talk to Tribal West owner Fish Bartlett about opening the second store. Senior SpotlightsI'm going to publish these today, 5/18 and 5/25 then we'll be done so if you want to submit, please do! Send them to tim@timhaslam.com.Alta Girls#11 Majena Horoba - Attack - Majena has been playing for our varsity team since her freshman year. Majena's passion for lacrosse is contagious. She is constantly searching for the next thing to make her and her teammates better. From shooting on goal in her free time, to encouraging wall ball throughout the off-season. Majena never stops. As a lacrosse player, Majena plays a sneaky game. She's constantly looking for plays with other teammates and ways to create fast movement on attack. Majena was an extremely consistent player and always ready to attack the goal. Next year Majena will be attending the University of Utah. There she hopes to study Athletic Training. #24 Annika Sanger - Defense - Annika has been playing for our varsity team since her freshman year. Annika is a defensive powerhouse. She lets no one by her when playing 1v1 defense and is an incredible communicator. You can hear her from a mile away. Annika's understanding of team defense is incredible and helped our younger players learn so much last season. While Annika played defense for us for four years, she never stopped practicing her shot for her future career as a Midfielder. Next year Annika will be attending the University of Utah. At The U Annika plans to study kinesiology and play on the club lacrosse team. #32 Peighton Kimble - Goalie - Peighton has been playing for our varsity team since her freshman year. Peighton's experience in goal is easy to notice. She plays lacrosse at every opportunity she can. For years, she played for both our JV and Varsity club teams. Over her career Peighton has made hundreds of saves in goal and backed our defense with her voice. This year, fall and pre-season, Peighton showed her commitment to Alta and excitement to spread her knowledge to younger players. Peighton's ability to take direction and apply it during every play is every coaches dream. Next year Peighton will be getting her EMT license and working as an Emergency Care Tech in the Salt Lake Valley.#38 Kemry Breur - Defense - Kemry has been playing for our varsity team since her freshman year. Kemry is our quiet and tactful defender. Kemry's defensive positioning is impeccable and has challenged our attackers for years. As a senior, Kemry's personality and voice truly came to light. Watching her lead this pre-season was such a joy. She used her voice to encourage teammates and her textbook skills to show the perfect example. Next year Kemry will be attending the University of Utah and hopes to get a bachelor of science in nursing.   Olympus GirlsSamantha Larkins - Sam was our Defensive MVP last year and was voted a team captain this year. I cannot say enough good things about Sam. She is humble, coachable, reliable and level headed. Her field sense and work ethic have allowed her to be a play maker all over the field. She was the core of our defense but also made some of our best offensive plays. She is a phenomenal player on the field and an even better person off of it. Sam will be attending BYU in the fall and hopes to continue playing lacrosse.Marissa Meier - Marissa might be the most coachable athlete our program has ever known. She started playing lacrosse her Junior year and set a goal to make varsity this year. Her work ethic and determination are unparalleled. She was a starter this year and an incredible asset all over the field. She always has a positive attitude and was a joy to coach. She will be attending BYU in the fall.Brieann Adams - Brieann also started playing lacrosse her Junior year. She played defense for us on varsity this year and did a fantastic job. It was incredible to watch how quickly her stick skills and knowledge of the game improved. She, too, is incredibly coachable and is willing to implement new skills as soon as she learns them. She did everything we ask with 100% effort and is always the life of the party. Brieann will be studying medicine at Utah State University in the Fall.Kayla Knaperek - This would have been Kayla's first year of regular season lacrosse. She transferred to our team from Lone Peak and we feel so lucky to have had her play with us. She is a great leader down on defense and is always looking/asking for ways to improve.

She always looks for and points out the best in others and we loved having her on our team!  Kayla will be attending UVU in the fall.Sky View BoysCaden Tempest - Caden has worked really hard as an LSM for Sky View.  His main focus was speed and stick skills.  He was diligent at making all the early morning practices and was really looking forward to his senior year of lax.  His hustle was fun to watch.Memphis Checketts - Memphis plays middle and has been playing lacrosse since he was in 4th grade.

Datuk Dr. Vinod Sekhar was born on August 6th 1968 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and is the son of the late legendary Malaysia icon Tan Sri Dr B. C Sekhar. He began his business career while still in college studying biology on scholarship, where he started the Vincent Siefer Clothing Co. with USD$50, and soon after formed the Sitavani Foundation, which focused its attention on the education of children and on child development programmes. In 1990, he formed and became the ceo of the STI Group that was responsible for some groundbreaking businesses such as the world’s smallest optic engine, the first circular abrasive discs, Southeast Asia’s first commercial Internet company (at a time when Malaysia had a total of 700 internet users), and a variety of other technology innovations including one of the first virtual reality companies in the US. The multimedia arm of the group was also responsible for the first Malaysian joint venture to produce a movie at Disney MGM Studios in Orlando, Florida (Tarzan: The Epic Adventures). After the 1997 Asian financial crisis, STI merged with his other international interests and The Petra Group was created. Petra, named after Datuk Vinod’s eldest daughter is a technology conglomerate responsible for several global technology developments related to Elastomer recycling (Green Rubber), deproteinization, HIV and cancer treatment programs, innovative financial software, biophotonics, sustainable energy tech, affordable  engineered modular homes, films, live entertainment and software development. Datuk Vinod was also one of the first Malaysians to venture into the former Soviet Union after its breakup and was a part of the privatization of the worlds second largest petrochemical plant, Nizhnekampsk Neftekhin. He was also the first Southeast Asian to own both Formula 2000 and Formula 3 Championship motorsports teams, and he founded Malaysia’s first sports car company.  He travelled the world sharing his ideas far and wide on how capitalism with a purpose was the only way forward.  He pushed the idea that business could only grow if they created more market, and to do that they had to play a role in in eradicating poverty, empowering citizenry and lifting people into the middle class. He Chaired the first New Asian Leaders–Emerging Arab Leaders Summit in Langkawi, where he hosted his friend King Abdullah II of Jordan along with 200 Asian and Arab business leaders, and spoke at multiple Forbes Global and World Economic Forum conferences promoting his ideas for a new world economic order. Whilst doing all this and running his conglomerate he continued his societal work. Datuk Vinod is the Chairman of the Petra Foundation (which he founded and which currently plays a role in the lives of over 12,000 children globally), the Sekhar Foundation, the Chairman of the Pelita Harapan (Lantern of Hope) for terminally ill children, the Co-Chairman of the Innocent Child Appeal Fund Board for abused children, and the Chairman of the Sitavani Foundation. He was also the founding President of Malaysiana Muda, the first non-partisan multiracial national youth organization created to develop unity among Malaysian youth, where he warned of polarization among young Malaysians two decades before the government finally acknowledged it was out of control. He was the creator of the “Global Education Conference” held in Kuala Lumpur, where for the first time ever, principals from the top schools in the world such as Eton, Sydney Grammar, Chinese International School, Hong Kong and Harvard West Lake came together to discuss building bridges between different educational curriculums. In all, 30 schools were represented. The “Sekhar Initiative,” as it was referred to then, led to the creation of several global programs that enhanced interaction among the schools and led to his his creation of one of Kuala Lumpur’s major international schools, The Mont’ Kiara International School, which he developed with his partners. For his contribution to the globalization of education and the education of children, Datuk Vinod was made the first and youngest Asian fellow of Kappa Delta Pi, a US-based international Honors Society for Education. This organization awarded its “The Points of Excellent” award to his company, making it the first Asian company to be so honored. For his contribution to society and and the nation the 10th King of Malaysia, conferred on him a “Datukship” on the occasion of His Majesty’s’ 71st birthday. Datuk Vinod was 26 years old and one the youngest in the nations history to be so honoured. The Harvard Business Review published a case study on Datuk Vinod, Petra and Green Rubber – thought to be one of the only times a Malaysian has had that privilege. The World Economic Forum named him in the top 3 of its 40 “New Asian Leaders” (NAL) and a Global Leader for Tomorrow (GLT). Grant Thornton named him the Malaysian Corporate Leader of the Year in August 2008. He also received the prestigious Global Green Award from Global Green USA for Green Rubber. He was the youngest, only Asian, and third ever non-American, after President Mikhail Gorbachev and Giorgio Armani, to receive the award. He has received several other awards including: the Global Indian Award presented by the Minister for Overseas Indians in Delhi, Global Indian Origin Magazine’s 50 Most Influential Business Leaders of Indian Origin in the world, the Outstanding Global Entrepreneur by the SME Association, and The Societe Award from the Asia Pacific Brand Foundation, the Chambers of the GCC (Gulf Cooperative Council) presented him with a leadership award for Technology and Social Capitalism, the NRI Institute in India conferred on him the Pravasi Divas award, and the American Leadership Development Association and Leaders International named him the ‘ Global Visionary Leader 2015’, to name a few. Datuk Vinod is also on the leadership council of The Climate Group, which is chaired by the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and includes Sir Richard Branson and the former Chairman of HSBC, Lord Stephen Greene. He also acted as the underwriter for the first ever Clinton Global Initiative Asia in Hong Kong, and hosted his good friend President Bill Clinton in Kuala Lumpur. He was the advisor to the Faculty of Business and Law for Multimedia University, Malaysia’s largest private university with over 20,000 students. Datuk Vinod received the Keys to the City of Armenia in Colombia for his help after the devastating landslides that killed thousands. In 1999, he also set up an orphanage in Colombia called the Petra-Valentina House. He funded in full the “Black Ball” in London hosted by his friend, singer/songwriter Alicia Keys to raise money for her charity “Keep a Child Alive.” Datuk Vinod is the loudest advocate for Social Capitalism, where business interests and societal concerns must work hand in hand. Datuk Vinod has become an activist for what he calls “simple principles of a civilized society” where all businessmen must involve themselves in their own society’s positive development, and has been a victim of media, political and corporate attacks on himself under the previous government, for his refusal to stop speaking out for reform and supporting the then imprisoned opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim. He is regarded as one of the small handful of senior business leaders and one of the only Forbes listed figures to publicly advocate for change and the release of Anwar for 20 years.  Despite it all, he has refused to be bowed or cowed, and he continues to speak his views openly, including at the campaign rallies of the recent historic general elections that led to the May 9th transformation of Malaysia’s political landscape. He continues today to build his multinational technology group, his foundations, and still speaks out for social and economic justice. His latest national work involves the planned launch of the Malaysia Movement to stop the racial polarization of Malaysian society and to create a platform for open debate. Datuk Vinod is a strong supporter of a mindset reform in the Malaysian political landscape. After being named by Forbes as the 16th richest man in Malaysia, Datuk Vinod and his wife donated 60% of their entire ownership in the Petra group to their charitable foundations.  He is currently preparing for the launch of his new integrated app that connects seamlessly the public, corporate society, charities, social programmes and those in need.  He has written several plays, a book of poetry, and screenplays. Datuk Vinod also hosted Malaysia’s first English language talk show on television, and jointly won several New York Festival Awards for his cutting-edge advertising campaigns. In 2015 the film Datuk Vinod produced in India, Liars Dice, was the sole Indian nomination for Best Foreign Picture category at the Academy Awards (Oscars).
