Mia Hamm

Mia Hamm

1.       Mia Hamm was a successful and famous soccer player. She has won many awards and championships, even a few Olympic medals. Hamm is also the author of the book Go For the Goal: A Champion's Guide to Winning in Soccer and Life. She has also appeared in the HBO documentary Dare to Dream: The Story of the U.S. Women's Soccer Team.
2.       Hamm was born with a club foot, but despite that she was able to accomplish so much. The reason is that she wore corrective shoes and persevered to excel.
3.       Technology might’ve impacted Hamm’s life in various ways. One way is the technology used to create her corrective shoes. The machines and such that created her shoes impacted her life forever so that she could become an amazing soccer player.

Reflection: I believe that Hamm’s excellence and perseverance is completely admirable and her success is astonishing. One thing I could learn from her is to persevere. She persevered to become a wonderful athlete, despite her club foot and the challenges she faced being a woman in the sports community.
