Most prolific scorer in the history of women's soccer.
Whether you are a fútbol fanatic or don't know a cleat from a hightop, chances are you know Mia Hamm. She is one of the most talented players ever to boot a soccer ball—and surely the most popular. In May, Hamm scored her 108th career goal, making her the world's alltime leading scorer, an accomplishment that outshines her many others (four NCAA titles at North Carolina, an Olympic gold medal, two World Cup championships, five U.S. Female Player of the Year awards). Growing up as an Air Force brat, Hamm made friends of new teammates by blowing them away with her acceleration, dribbling finesse and willingness to plow through anybody to score. Even today, the soft-spoken striker is most at ease on the field, out of the spotlight. "I'm just a soccer player," she says. "That's pretty much all I know."
