The world's all-time leading scorer has 120+ career goals and counting. She has been a heavily marked player on the field who draws double and triple coverage from even the world's best teams. she has still slashed her way to eight goals and a team leading 10 assists this year. Still one of the best one-on-one dribblers in the world, Hamm has looked sharp during the latter half of 2000 and is a threat to score every time she touches the ball in the attacking third. While often overlooked, her defense and passing contribute as much to the U.S. team as her scoring. She will be counted to score and create this summer. She scored two goals in the 1991, 1995 and 1999 Women's World Cup.

She was the NCAA's 1993-94 Broderick Award winner for all female college sports. NSCAA All-American from Lake Braddock Secondary School in Burke, Va., she also played at Notre Dame High School in Wichita Falls, Texas one of the time's when she moved from several places.

One of Mia Hamm's other accomplishment was to support and open a new bone marrow foundation for her brother that died from that disease and others like him. Another foundation she supports is the make a wish program. Also she opened a camp for younger girls to go to and learn like she did and become a successful soccer player.

 *In April of 1999, Nike named the largest building on its corporate campus after Mia.*
