"Many people say I'm the best women's soccer player in the world. I don't think so. And because of that, someday I just might be."
- Mia Hamm
"Take your victories, whatever they may be, cherish them, use them, but don't settle for them."
"The backbone of success is...hard work, determination, good planning, and perserverence."
"It isn't sacrifice if you love what you're doing."
"I’ve worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down, and I will not let myself down."
"You don't just want to beat a team. You want to leave a lasting impression in their minds so they never want to see your face again."
"If a team intimidate you physically and you let them, they've won."
"I am building a fire, and everyday I train, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I light the match."
"I learned a long time ago that there is something worse than missing the goal, and that's not pulling the trigger."
