Somewhere behind the athlete you've become and the hours of practice and the coaches who have pushed you is a little girl who fell in love with the game and never looked back... play for her.
Mia HammI 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 HammI am happy that the young girls have a lot more choices these days and an opportunity to feel better about themselves.
Mia HammWhen 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
