BIO: Mia Hamm is known as the world’s best all-around women’s soccer player. At the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta Mia proved it by leading her team to gold.

In college at The University of North Carolina, Mia led her team to four consecutive NCAA championships.
Mia Hamm was the youngest player to ever play for the U.S. National Team at the age of fifteen. After seventeen year, two World Championships and two Olympic Gold medals, Mia retired in 2004 and has records in appearances, goals, MVP awards and overall performance.
