Mia Hamm, “Go for the Goal”
“I believe that to fit into a team, no individual can put her needs above those of the team as a whole. She must play her role, the position the coach assigns her…Remember that in soccer, no role is set in stone. A coach may ask you to play a different position or come off the bench for only one-minute, one game, or one tournament. Roles can change every game, either in very small ways or dramatically.”
