Family can shape us. For U.S. women’s national team forward Jameese Joseph, the pride she feels playing soccer is the result of the hard work and dedication of her parents, who put her in a position to be great.
On this episode of Full Time, Tamerra Griffin is joined by Joseph, from the USWNT’s training camp at the 2026 SheBelieves Cup, to talk about her journey from college to the Chicago Stars and now an international soccer player for the four-time World Cup winners. They get into the legacy of her parents immigrating from Trinidad, as well as the lessons learned playing in the USWNT U23s that helped her develop into the right player for head coach Emma Hayes.
PLUS: Jillian Sakovits and Tamerra give their thoughts on the new kits for the 2026 NWSL season that dropped on Thursday and look ahead to the start of the 2026 SheBelieves Cup. Does winning a friendly tournament really matter for the USWNT? Which opposing player should fans be looking out for? What are the latest changes to the USWNT’s roster this week?
