She has 2 sisters, 1 adopted brother and a mother and father
Her dad is an air force pilot
Her mom was a professional ballerina
When Mia was two or three she joined the air force team but she
didn’t like it so she joined dance and she hated it
• Mia liked soccer, basketball and football while she was growing up
• In high school, Mia played
all boy football
• When she was 13, she started playing soccer and she was very
good at it
• Mia Hamm was divorced with Christan Corey and then
married to Boston Redsox short stop Nomar Garciaparra
• She was moving all across the world when she was a
child, which made it difficult to stay in touch with friends
• Mia’s brother Garrett, died in 1997 from a rare bone
marrow disease
• She gave birth to two twins, Grace Isabella and
Ava Caroline (They where 5 weeks early)
• She had a great soccer career
• Won NCAA championship in 1990
• Won World Cup in 1991
• She graduated from Lake Braddock high school
• One of the challenges she had to over
come was her brother died and while he was at the
doctors she looked at him like he was one of her heroes.
• Some of the things I like about this person
are she stayed with her goals and dreams to become a
soccer player.
• One of the childhood experiences that
caused her to stay with soccer is when she
was 5 she started to play soccer so she stuck with it
because she loved it. When she was 13 it became
serious.
