Mia Hamm
1) She is a two time Olympic gold medalist and FIFA Women's world cup winner

2) In high school when she was a freshman and sophomore she played soccer. She attended the university of North Carolina and helped win 4 women's championships. She graduated from college with the ACC records for goals with 103, assists with 72, and total points with 278.

3) I think technology impacted this experience because she was born with a club foot and her corrective shoes she wore as a toddler helped her improve.

4) Image result for Mia Hamm

5) I think the lesson of life that I learned from this example is that you can still achieve great things no matter what difficulties are thrown at you since birth

                        History of Basketball 


James Naismith is the inventor of basketball.
He invented basketball in 1891, while working at the YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts.
James Naismith invented basketball because at YMCA, they needed at sport to play indoors because it was too cold outside for football or baseball.
In the beginning of basketball every time you scored you had to get the ball from the basket because it still wasn't an open circle in the bottom.  
At first basketball was played with a peach basket 

and soccer like ball. Back then there were only 13 

rules. The first game was 9 vs. 9.

                   Student Success Statement

"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right."

                             
                                 Dean Smith

I think he meant he didn't care about money he just wanted to do the correct thing even if it did not involve money.
