She brought a reliable block, adjusted quickly to hitters, and kept rallies alive with intelligent touches. Coach Boongaling praised her presence in huddles and the way she set the tone for her side.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mia shared that reading hitters and adjusting her block are two skills she takes pride in, and that volleyball IQ showed throughout the showcase. She is working to respond faster after mistakes and to grow from each rep as the game speeds up. Mia has ambitious goals to match a faster paced offense this club season and to be a presence that opposing middles struggle to match.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She also shared that she skipped a grade, making her younger than most in her class and eligible for both the 2028 and 2029 recruiting groups.
