Mia Hamm
I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down.
Mia Hamm
I'm not someone who goes around the locker room before a game trying to motivate my teammates. I don't say a lot before the game. I don't say a lot in general. It takes too much energy to do that.
Mia Hamm
I learned a long time ago that there is something worse than missing the goal, and that's not pulling the trigger.
