Heather Mitts

Heather Mitts is a defender for the USA Women's National Soccer Team. In June 2008 Heather worked on two completely different soccer events: the Beijing Olympics and her soccer camp for kids in California. In 2007 she had to sit on the sidelines for both the Womens's World Cup and her soocer camp, due to a knee injury. In spring 2008, she fully recovered from the torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) that put her out of the 2007 World Cup, and was one of the final 22 players selected for the 2008 Olympic women's squad

Team USA was in South Korea in the middle of June 2008 for an international tuneup, the Peace Queen Cup. The day after Mitts' 30th birthday her teammate Cat Whitehall tore her ACL in Seoul whilst practising. Cat's tear came just weeks after the Women's team lost midfielder Leslie Osborne due to another torn ACL. Everyone on the team is very happy that Heather is recovered especially with the loss of the other two players. Of the 22 selected for the trip to Korea, 18 made the U.S. soccer team's Olympic squad. In addition three alternates were chosen.
Heather Mitts made 3 appearances for USA in early 2008 is practicing like a madwoman, ensuring that she was in top shape for her team and country, ready to hold the backline against the world.
Although Carli Lloyd scored winning goal in the sixth minute of overtime (and only goal) in the women's Olympic soccer finals in Beijing, Heather Mitts and Hope Solo bailed out their teammates frequently as the tough women from Brazil got dangerously close to scoring on man occasions. The defense held out thanks to Heather and the United States soccer team beat Brazil 1-0 to capture the gold medal and win the Olympics for a third time in four Olympics. THe US Soccer team dominated the field and the tournament yet again. Heather played for the entire game, and was enthusiastically hugging and celebrating at the final whistle.
