Women's sports may be booming, but establishing a bright future might rely on understanding the past.

On this week's Full Time Focus, host Jilian Sakovits is joined by Meg Linehan, who last week sat down for a one-on-one interview with sports icon Billie Jean King in Los Angeles to talk all things women's sports. With clips from that conversation interspersed, Meg talks about how BJK emphasized the importance of knowing your history, investment, and the need for women's sports to progress even faster.

PLUS: Jilian and Producer Theo give their women's FA Cup semifinal predictions and look ahead to Week 4 of the NWSL.
