Mia Hamm

She is a retired American soccer player who competed with the U.S. women's national soccer team for 17 years. She was fifas "best world player of the year" back in the day.  She won the Women's World Cup in 1991 and 1999, and took Olympic gold medals in 1996 and 2004. Her lucky number was 9.

Hamm is a legend is considered the best female soccer player in history. She played with the U.S. women's national soccer team for 17 years, building one of the biggest fan bases of any American athlete. She won the Women's World Cup in 1991 and 1999, and took Olympic gold medals in 1996 and 2004. Hamm held the record for most international goals scored until June 2013, when her record was broken by fellow American player Abby Wambach.

Mia's brother had helped her practice and improve. Maybe if she would of had better cameras like a go-pro in 2004, it would have been easier to see where she had flawed. She could have seen her kicks in slow motion and have been even more of a good player (not possible until 2014).



reflection: she is truly an inspiration because she kept her legendary title as the best world player for 17 years. she thrived and worked extraordinarily hard to have succeeded the way she did. She was a grown woman so she also had a life of the side (her daughter) and found a way to multitask. the lesson here could be that, when you work this hard youll get to where you want to be, and this includes sacrifices.
