Description: 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 has broken nearly every record in her sport, while winning with her teammates the 1999 Women's World Cup and galvanizing a whole new 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 guide for any kid with the all-American dream of making the team and becoming a champion.
