So what makes the youngest-ever captain in U.S. women’s national team history so wise beyond her years?
On this episode of Full Time Focus, host Jillian Sakovits sits down with USWNT and Bay FC midfielder Claire Hutton for a one-on-one interview. The duo chat about what was behind Hutton’s decision to turn pro at 17, her soccer role models, what it is like to be inside Emma Hayes’s leadership group on the USWNT, and how she’s grown after moving from the Kansas City Current to Bay FC in the NWSL.
