All hail Mia Hamm!
Because of her tremendous impact on the sport of soccer over the past 15 years, Mia Hamm is often cited as one of, if not the most significant athlete of this time period. She had to wear special shoes starting when she was a youngster because she was born with a club foot. Her father was her first coach, and she later became a star player for the school’s boys’ soccer team. She achieved unprecedented success as an adult, winning two Olympic gold medals. She was the main face of the Women’s United Soccer Association (W.U.S.A.) and went on to become a sports legend. She writes books, owns a share in Los Angeles FC, and represents F.C. Barcelona around the globe.
