The Game of Soccer

• The vision of a champion is bent over, drenched
  in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when nobody
  else is looking. Mia Hamm
• And sometimes you might not get everything you
  expect, but that doesn't mean you give up...
  Julie Foudy
• Everybody is a different kind of leader, I think
  mine is encouragement. To show people that when
  I'm down, I'm still running. I want to let them
  know that I understand what they're going
  through, and it's ok to mess up. Kristine Lilly

Final Thought

• Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, and Kristine Lilly were
  amazing at the game of soccer. I have played
