On this week's Full Time Focus, host Jilian Sakovits sits down with North Carolina Courage head coach Sean Nahas.

The two talk candidly about the Courage's challenging start to the season and the importance of trusting the process, especially when things aren't going your way. Nahas opens up about how the Courage can get the best out of Jaedyn Shaw, why he's taking a break from social media, and his deep admiration for Pep Guardiola.

PLUS: Later on, Amelia Lopez, of the Our Futbol podcast, joins the show to help shine a light on the LigaMX Femenil playoffs, which began this week. Who are the players and storylines that you need to know? And which teams are primed to win the 2025 Clausura title?
