Mia Hamm's book, "Goal For The Goal," is the best book I have read. It helps all soccer players improve their game, by showing training drills and it has great advice that motivates players. Mia Hamm and the rest of the Women's National team are my role models. Mia Hamm, to me wrote this book perfectly, and anyone who wants to play soccer or plays soccer already should read this book. It will inspire you to do so much more than you already can do.

As a soccer coach of girls/young women, and a State referee I was disappointed in this book. I have followed women's soccer for some time now, and it goes without question that Mia Hamm is one of the worlds top players. However, if you are looking for an autobiography of Mia, this is not the book. Further, the techniques mentioned are good, but most of them are for beginning players. I, personally, did not find this book to be " a champion's guide to winning in soccer and life." I enjoyed the book, but I guess that I was expecting more, or something different. The book has more " ups " than " downs " but overall I was disappointed. Mia tends to be a private person, which is understandable. I'd like her to write a more personal autobiography someday because I believe that she has a story to tell, which would be more engaging than this book.

Personally, I found this really boring. I'm not really sure what I just read. I was kind of hoping that there'd be some personal insight because Mia Hamm is a facsinating person. When I finished I really wasn't inspired, or informed, or anything. I was just bored. There are better books out there, this one isn't really worth your time.
