In 2011, after the Women's Professional Soccer league folded, Bev Yanez flew to Japan to hold onto her dreams of being a soccer player. That journey changed her life and set her on the path to being the person she is today.


On this week's Full Time Review, Jillian Sakovits sits down with Yanez for a special feature interview about her journey from National Women's Soccer League player to head coach of Racing Louisville. The conversation takes place days before the final match of the NWSL regular season that will decide if Racing clinches a spot in the playoffs for the first time in team history. How has Yanez developed as a coach? What are the secrets behind Racing's record-breaking season and the team's identity? How does Yanez balance being a mother and head coach?


PLUS: Jill breaks down what is at stake ahead of NWSL 'Decision Day' and the 1-2-3 of what to watch this weekend.
