At 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, his intimidating stature and strong play helped him secure Major League Soccer's Defender of the Year award in 2010. He is known for his "combination of size, speed and strength".[2] In five years with Real Salt Lake Olave appeared in 120 league matches and scored 10 goals and helped RSL capture the 2009 MLS Cup.
