Mia and Friends: Mia Hamm and the Soccer Sisterhood that Changed History

Based on the inspiring true story of soccer legend Mia Hamm, Mia and Friends tells the story of trailblazing young women who changed sports forever at the 1999 Women’s World Cup. Despite being named after a famous ballerina, Mia Hamm never cared for pirouettes. Instead, she chased the ball: baseball, basketball, and especially soccer. Often the only girl on her sports teams, Mia had a hard time making friends. But when she made the U.S. women’s national soccer team at fifteen, everything changed. All around her, young women tackled and dribbled, passed and kicked, scored, and screamed. They were just like her―but even more skilled. For Mia to improve, she had to play up to the levels of Michelle Akers, Briana Scurry, Brandi Chastain, and so many others. She was determined not to let her team down.
