As competitive as Mia is, she is a complete team player, willing to share the scoring opportunities. That's why she's not only the all-time leading scorer in women's soccer, but she also leads in assists. Her list of firsts and bests and mosts is a long one, and it started early. She was the youngest player on the US National Team at 15. During her college career she had what her coach called "The greatest season ever by a collegiate soccer player." She proceeded to set NCAA records left and right, was part of the gold-medal-winning 1996 Olympic Women's Soccer Team – and, of course, played a major role in winning the 1999 Women's World Cup. Mia's quickness, coordination, determination, perseverance and competitiveness make her a perfect spokesperson for Gatorade. Her skills incredibly continue to improve, and her focus on winning never wavers. Mia Hamm's career will continue to break records for many years to come, inspiring women soccer teams all across the country – and around the world. |
Off
the soccer field, Mia Hamm is a quiet, sincere, self-assured
woman. On the field, however, it's a different story altogether.
Defensive players around the world actually fear her, because
they know that Mia's combination of speed, strength and determination
are a practically unbeatable combination. She is fiercely
competitive, intensely focused, and able to rally an entire
team just by her performance. Many have called Mia Hamm one
of the best female athletes in the world.
