Abby Wambach

Few soccer fields have seen a player as fearless as Abby Wambach. From the time she fought to keep up with her older brothers and sisters to today, as she fights to make a goal, she has been unstoppable. She gets knocked down, run over, and injured but just keeps going. Even a gash requiring 11 stitches couldn't keep her off the field during the 2007 Women's World Cup. As tough as she is, Wambach is also a terrific teammate and a lot of fun to share the field with. Find out what makes this player so special, starting with her first fearless step onto a diving board.
