Hamm spent her childhood on various U.S. Air Force bases around the world with her family. She first played soccer while living in Florence, Italy, and her entire family quickly became involved in the sport. At age five, Hamm joined her first soccer team in Wichita Falls, Texas. Her father coached Hamm and her newly adopted brother, 8-year-old Garrett.
College career
From 1989 to 1993, Hamm attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she helped the Tar Heels win four NCAA Division I Championships in five years.

Club career
In 2001, Hamm was a founding player in the first professional women's soccer league in the United States, the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA), and played for the Washington Freedom from 2001 to 2003. Throughout the league's history, Hamm was hailed as the star of the league and used heavily in marketing and promotion. In a poll of 1,000 advertising executives conducted in 2001, she was voted "the most appealing female athlete", garnering almost twice as many votes as the runner-up Anna Kournikova.
During the league's inaugural match between the Freedom and the Bay Area CyberRays at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., Hamm was fouled in the penalty area, which resulted in a penalty kick that her teammate Pretinha converted to mark the first goal scored in the league. The Freedom won 1–0. The 34,148 fans in attendance surpassed the turnout of every MLS game that weekend, while the television broadcast reached 393,087 households. Playing as a midfielder and forward, Hamm played in 19 of the Freedom's 21 matches during the 2001 season. She led the team in goals (6) and assists (4).

After winning the semifinal against the Philadelphia Charge 1–0, the Freedom were defeated 3–2 by the Carolina Courage in the 2002 WUSA Founders Cup.
During the 2003 season, Hamm started in 16 of the 19 games in which she played. Her 11 goals ranked second on the team behind Abby Wambach's 13, while her 11 assists ranked first. The Freedom finished the regular season in fourth place with a record and secured a berth in the playoffs. The Freedom defeated the Atlanta Beat 2–1 in overtime to win the Founders Cup on August 24, 2003.

In the semifinal against Germany, Hamm served an assist to Heather O'Reilly, who scored to secure a 2–1 win. The U.S. faced Brazil for a second time in the gold medal match and won 2–1 in overtime. The game marked the last Olympic appearance for five players who had helped win the inaugural 1991 Women's World Cup: Hamm, Julie Foudy, Joy Fawcett, Brandi Chastain, and Kristine Lilly (often referred to as the Fab Five).
Following the Olympics, Hamm and her teammates played in a 10-game farewell tour in the United States. During the tour, Hamm scored her 158th international goal, setting the record for most international goals scored by a player of any gender. The final match of the tour against Mexico in Carson, California, on December 8, marked the final international match for Hamm, Julie Foudy, and Joy Fawcett.
