All of us have a special skill or talent. That skill
or talent may be drawing, playing a musical instrument, or
excelling in a sport. For Mia Hamm it is playing soccer. Both
Mia’s athletic ability and her interest in the game was evident
at a very early age she joined her first soccer team at the age
of five and has focused on the sport ever since. At the age
of fifteen, Mia became the most youngest player ever to join
the U.S. Women’s National Team. As the years passed, Mia’s
dedication to her sport continued to pay off. She won several
awards, including three olympic medals, and was recognized
as the U.S. Soccer Female Athlete of the Year for five years
in a row. It is hard to believe that when Mia was a baby,
she has had to spend several months with her feet in casts to correct a structural foot problem. Could you be the next Mia Hamm of art, music, or sports? Anything is possible if you work hard enough.
