Go For The Goal! by Mia Hamm

     One of the book's I read this summer was Go For The Goal by Mia Hamm. The reason I chose this book is because it is about one of the greatest women's soccer player ever, and I love to play soccer. As I was reading this book I kept wondering how Mia Hamm joined the Women's national team when she was only fifteen. When you are reading the book the author makes it seem like you can do anything you want to if you give it your all. While reading this book it really made me want to get up and play soccer because it made soccer sound so fun.

     The one thing i didn't like about this book was that it said the same thing a couple of times. For instance once while I was reading the book it said that she was amazed that she made it on the national team at such a young age, but then a few pages later it said the same thing. One strategy I used while reading this book was I imagined it was a story about myself, so it made the book a lot more fun to read. The great thing about this book is that anyone can read it because even if you don't like soccer it is still really inspiring. Overall I really enjoyed reading this book over the break.
