so strongly about, and it’s an honor to
be able to share that with someone.”
Asa result of her father’s Air Force
commitment, Hamm and her five sib
lings spent her youth traveling from
base to base. Asa result, Hamm used
sports as a way of making friends and
fitting in. She approached soccer as a
way to tag along with her siblings.
“1 had an older brother and sister
who plaved, and I would just go to the
field and hang out,” she said. “Until I
was old enough to play organized soc
cer. I would go out to their practices and
try to participate as much as I could.”
In 1987 - well before Erica Roberson
was bom - Mariel Margaret Hamm
joined the U.S. National Team at age 15,
becoming the youngest-ever member of
the team. It was not until Hamm, who
played high school basketball, made the
squad that she devoted herself full-time
to soccer.
“It exposed me to the highest level
that there was, and as a player it really
kind of laid out for me what I needed to
do to become better and also the chal
lenges that were there,” she said.
It was there that she developed a

her playing days.
The presence of the game’s most
famous player on the sidelines is not
intimidating to current Tar Heels. Lorrie
Fair, Hamm’s teammate in the 1999
World Cup and a senior UNC captain,
said Hamm never preached to the team.
“She’d much rather be known as one
of the girls. I think she really likes being
around us," said Fair, who described the
witty Hamm as a ‘character.’
Hamm said she loved the cama
raderie involved with being a part of the
team, one of the reasons she continues
to play with the national team.
Her charm, obvious to outsiders, is
one reason she attracts such media
attention and world-wide fame.
“She’ll never admit that she’s a super
star, even though she is; she’s very hum
ble. She’s the kind of athlete that every
body should look up to and say, ‘Hev,
this is the way to behave if you’re as
great as you are.’” Fair said.
It’s a iesson that Erica Roberson has
already learned.
