Mia Hamm

1.       The excellence achieved was that Mia Hamm became one of the best female soccer player in history. She won the Women’s World Cup in 1991 and 1999, and took Olympic gold  medals in 1996 and 2004.

2.       At a very young age, she was encouraged by her brother Garett, to play sports. She played for many years and when she was 15, she was the youngest soccer player to play for a national team. She then played for the United States women’s national soccer team for 17 years where she perfected her skills until she retired.

3.       Technology impacted this arête experience because without it, none of her achievements would have been recorded. Being said none of her games would have been televised.

4.       I think that for all the young athletes out there it shows the perseverance they must have to achieve their goal. I think that she is a brave hardworking person to have worked so hard towards her career. It shows the dedication she had. The lesson that you can take from this is that in order to get what you want you must work relentlessly and never give up.
