On this week's Full Time Focus, Tamerra Griffin sits down with Sam Coffey for a feature interview from USWNT training camp. The 26-year-old midfielder discusses developing her leadership style, as she assumed the captaincy of the Portland Thorns following the retirements of veterans Becky Sauerbrunn and Christine Sinclair. Coffey also discusses her time in Mexico competing with the Thorns in the inaugural Concacaf W Champions Cup, the heroic welcome that Emily Fox received at USWNT training camp, and her thoughts on the USWNT midfield.

PLUS: Host Jillian Sakovits and Tamerra get into what they're looking forward to in the USWNT's upcoming friendly against China, and some other notable things to watch out for this weekend.
