Natasha Kai is a soccer player on the USA Olympic Team. She is a forward, and plays for the Sky Blue FC of Women's Professional Soccer. She was born on May 22, 1983 in Kahuku, Hawaii. She stands five feet eight inches. Natasha is the first female Hawaiian soccer player to make the Women's National Team, and her team number is six. Natasha also helped the US team win gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She has a habit of mismatched shoes and has nineteen tattoos on her body. One of her many tattoos is a "sleeve" on her right arm. "She shoots a goal every 68 minutes she has been on the field," says Soccer's Official Site.

I chose Natasha Kai because she made a promise to her dad. She promised her dad that she would be on the Soccer Olympic team someday. She kept that promise, and look at her now! I feel that if you believe in yourself and try hard enough, you will reach your goal. During the summer, I went to the place her dad worked, the Polynesian Center in Oahu, Hawaii. He told the story about Natasha promising him to be on the team. Another reason I chose Natasha Kai is because my dad watches her play against other teams. My uncle is also a fan of soccer, although, I seem to like basketball more. One more reason I chose Natasha Kai is because nobody seems to know Natasha Kai and she is truly amazing.
