For the more than seven million girls--from knobby-kneed tykes to high
school and college stars--who are tearing across the country chasing a
soccer ball and dreams of glory, there is one name that eclipses all
others, male or female: Mia Hamm. With her cheetahlike acceleration and
lightning-bolt shot, Hamm broke nearly every record in her sport, while
galvanizing a whole generation of fans and players.
Go for the Goal is not only the inspiring story of how a tiny suburban
sprite became a global terror with a ball (and the world) at her
feet--it's also a step-by-step or dribble-by-dribble guide for any kid
with the all-American dream of making the team and becoming a champion.
Filled with personal anecdotes and fully illustrated with both action
and instructional photographs, Go for the Goal shows readers exactly
how to master the silky skills and techniques that made Hamm and her
teammates the finest women's soccer team in the world.
