Boasting great size at 5'5, excellent speed, great technical ability, and a nose for goal Mia Hamm illustrates what a professional soccer athlete should be. Her performance for the USMNT speaks volumes tallying 275 appearances with 158 goals, a career spanning from 1987-2004.  In 1991, Mia Hamm was the youngest American to win the World Cup at the age of 19. In 1999, the USWNT went on to win the World cup proving that the Mia Hamm Soccer Jerseys is one of the most prized in USA history.

 

While attending North Carolina and playing collegiate soccer Mia Hamm won the national championship four years consecutively a feat that is and would be difficult to match. Besides experiencing a fantastic collegiate and Fifa international career, she won gold at the 1996 (Atlanta) and 2004 (Athens Greece) Olympics and won silver at the 2000 Olympics in Syndey, Australia. Owning an authentic Mia Hamm Soccer Jerseys ranging from any of her Olympic, International, and collegiate accomplishments would be a great honor.

 

After breaking the international goals record of 158, Mia Hamm focussed on mother hood and married Major League Baseball star Nomar Garciaparra in 2003.  She stated  "As Pete said, sometimes you just know the time is the right time," Hamm said. "I've enjoyed every minute and I've learned a lot, but it's time to take the next step in my life." She also mentioned "I might want to have children, and I want to reconnect with my family, which was always there for me," she said. "I want to be the best wife I can be."

 

In March 2004, Hamm and former U.S. teammate Michelle Akers were the only two women, and the only two Americans, named to the FIFA 100, a list of the 125 greatest living soccer players selected by Pelé and commissioned by FIFA for that organization's 100th anniversary.

 

She is a great role model for the youth. Now focused on her family and foundation, Mia Hamm has  dedicated  herself to help with bone marrow research and to help women's sports programs progress. She was inspired to create her foundation by her adoptive brother and original athletic inspiration, Garrett. She had a friendly game the next day and all the members of her team wore a black armband in memory of her brother. The Mia Hamm Soccer Jerseys will go down as the most prestigous in Women's Soccer.

 

In her foundation website, the mission statement states that " The Mia Hamm Foundation is a reflection of my life experiences. I created this foundation to benefit important issues that have directly affected me throughout my life. The foundation is focused on providing support for two important causes: raising funds and awareness for families needing marrow or cord blood transplants and continuing the growth in opportunities for young women in sports."

 

 

"The Mia Hamm Foundation is a non-profit, national organization dedicated to raising funds and awareness for families in need of a marrow or cord blood transplant and the development of more opportunities for young women to participate in sport."
