Mia Hamm
Good players create opportunities. The great players and the great people seize them
Mia Hamm
I don't like to play rough, but I will if I have to.

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
Mia Hamm
Chicken, brown rice, and veggies is a great healthy dinner option. It's full of whole grains and protein, and will keep you full for a long time.
Mia Hamm
Celebrate what you've accomplished, but raise the bar a little higher each time you succeed.
Mia Hamm
Goals have never defined me as a player. What has defined me is my impact on the team. If that means passing or playing defense to win, I'll do it.
Mia Hamm
Sports can do so much. It's given me confidence, self-esteem, discipline, and motivation.
Mia Hamm
I am happy that the young girls have a lot more choices these days and an opportunity to feel better about themselves.
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
There are always new, grander challenges to confront, and a true winner will embrace each one.
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
I played soccer because my friends did. Besides we got sodas afterwards.
Mia Hamm
My coach said I ran like a girl, I said if he could run a little faster he could too
Mia Hamm
I learned a long time ago that there is something worse than missing the goal, and that's not pulling the trigger.
Mia Hamm
No-one gets an iron-clad guarantee of success. Certainly, factors like opportunity, luck and timing are important. But the backbone of success is usually found in old-fashioned, basic concepts like hard work, determination, good planning and perseverance.
Mia Hamm
I was given a tremendous gift in terms of athleticism. Maybe it was because I wasn't so confident in other areas.
Mia Hamm
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
I could sit there and eat pasta all day long and not worry about it when I was younger, and now I really have to focus on making sure I set a good example for my kids.
