Abby Wambach

by John Bankston

Overview

Abby Wambach began playing soccer before she was five. She scored 27 goals in just three games. By the time she was nine, she'd been put on the boy's team. It didn't matter. No matter who her opponent was, she always figured out a way to get around them and drive the ball into the goal. As an adult, she became a professional soccer player while helping the U.S. win gold medals in the Olympics.
