Mia Hamm is known as the best girl soccer player ever known but not only that. She is known as my hero also. This woman can play soccer. If she wanted to she could play all day. Mia is a hero to lots of people but she is the biggest hero of all time to me.

Mia was born March 17, 1972 in Selma, Alabama. Her parents adopted two boys. Several years later in 1997, her brother Garret died of bone marrow disease. she was the youngest woman ever to make it on the USA team at the age 15. She has lead that team to victory several years in a row but some years they had to settle for the silver and not the gold. Mia is one of the most talented athletes in the world. She is a good soccer player because she understands the rules of the game and follows them the whole time through the game.

The reason why Mia is my hero is because she follows all of the character traits in the game and not only that but she plays the sport that I am going to play and am going to be professional at when I am older. So some day I hope I am just as good as Mia is now these days The End!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
