For U.S. Soccer Federation CEO JT Batson, it's a launchpad. Batson joins Rapid Response to reveal what’s on the line for the US men's team, where things stand with Coach Pochettino's future, and why this tournament is nothing like the last time America hosted in 1994. He also makes the case that winning a World Cup and growing a soccer nation are the same mission — and that the flywheel connecting pro leagues, youth development, national teams, and community access is finally starting to spin. Whether you've got World Cup fever or not, Batson's vision for building a winning culture from the ground up is a leadership story worth hearing.
