Mia quit she didn’t like that she wasn’t scoring her friends and siblings kept telling her to play but she didn’t want to. Although sometimes it doesn’t work that way, one day when Mia couldn’t score a goal she wasn’t too happy because no goal means no cheering. In winners never quit, it’s a story about a little girl named Mia who loves to play soccer, she loved to score goals and people would cheer. Back matter includes pictures of Mia from her childhood soccer matches to her world-class wins.Īlthough Hamm, and Women's Soccer in general, aren't as popular today as they were when the book premiered, it is a story that can stand on its own for both young soccer fans and those who need to learn that "winners never quit!" The story is ably told with cute illustrations. Soon, Mia needs to decide which is stronger-her love of soccer or her dislike of losing. But, her older siblings have a lesson in store: winners never quit. It seems like Mia always wants to quit whenever she starts to lose. She loves it when she scores goals and everyone cheers! She does not care so much for missing goals. In the story, young Mia loves to play soccer with her family. I was a bit skeptical that this was a star vehicle for Mia Hamm that would have everything to do with quick sales and little to do with lasting quality. Since it's World Cup time, I wanted to find a few picture books featuring soccer/futball.
