More quotes by Mia Hamm
Success breeds success.
Mia Hamm
When players go out and train on their own, they usually do it at half speed. This kind of training is valuable, but it doesn't prepare you for competition, where you must perform at full throttle. So the trick is to schedule regular sessions of intense practice, while always leaving time to juggle and generally goof around with the ball

Focus on what you know you can do. Know what you're capable of on any given day, and what you can count on. Do the simple things well, and then use the confidence to build up the rest of your game. Learn to differentiate between what is truly important and what can be dealt with at another time.
Mia Hamm

Mia Hamm
You can't just beat a team, you have to leave a lasting impression in their minds so they never want to see you again.
Mia Hamm
Sport taught me how to goal set, it really gave me a voice and identity.
Mia Hamm
I played soccer because my friends did. Besides we got sodas afterwards.
Mia Hamm
English muffins with avocado is one of my favorite breakfasts.
Mia Hamm
I played basketball and soccer my freshman year in high school.
Mia Hamm
Every day I look for ways to be inspired, to learn and to grow. And trying to be the best for my kids, my husband and my family. One thing I really wanna do is being there for my kids, be part of my siblings and my parents.
Mia Hamm
Take your victories, whatever they may be, cherish them, use them, but don't settle for them.
Mia Hamm
I know I wouldn't be here, and all of us wouldn't be here, without certain sacrifices and certain stands that people have made -- not just women, but men stepping up and supporting what we do and how we do it.
Mia Hamm
I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down.
Mia Hamm
I don't want to sit and look at all the trophies. I don't want to live in the past -- I want to live now!
Mia Hamm
You're worth the investment in yourself and what you feel, you can and want to be
