Celebrating Our Subscribers, Elevating California Volleyball

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This month we are proud to highlight the PrepDig California subscribers who continue to raise the bar for what intentional exposure looks like. These athletes understand that visibility is more than a post or a profile. It is a commitment to development, leadership, and ownership of their journey. Their reflections show coaches exactly who they are as players and as people. Purpose driven, consistent, and invested in their growth. We are grateful for every athlete who subscribes, supports the community, and chooses to fuel exposure that lifts players across California.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["560342"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-691bee26e524d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Meet Kaleia Jade (KJ) Zeits (2028)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/kaleiazeits2028/?hl=en">@kaleiazeits2028</a>&nbsp;, a Libero for Glendora High School&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ghs_tartanvolleyball/?hl=en">@ghs_tartanvolleyball</a>&nbsp;and [program_tooltip program_id='876208' first='SC' last='Rockstar'] Volleyball&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/scrockstarvolleyball/?hl=en">@scrockstarvolleyball</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gamer<br>💡 “After finishing the high school season, I improved in key areas of my game — increasing my number of digs to 401, number of aces to 41, and reducing my serve receive errors. Even though I strive to be perfect, I know that's unrealistic, so my focus has been on improvement rather than perfection. In always striving to be a better version of myself, I've learned that being coachable and willing to grow with the game is what truly makes a difference.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Subscriber<br>🧠 “PrepDig offers quality research on players, and it's obvious how much time you all spend on the court actually watching us play. Stats and highlights are great, but they don't always show the full picture. As a libero, my hustle and ‘never give up on a ball' attitude can be hard to capture in numbers, so I really appreciate that PrepDig takes the time to see players in action.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>KJ's Gratitude<br>💛 “There are two things I'm most grateful for in my volleyball journey. First, the lifelong friends I've made — it's amazing to play alongside people who are just as competitive and driven as I am. And second, I'm grateful that volleyball gives me an outlet from everyday teenage life. If I'm having a bad day, I know stepping onto the court will change everything and make me happy.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">🎯 Read KJ's full PrepDig profile ➡️ https://prepdig.com/player/kaleia-zeits/</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["481402"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-691bee26e52b4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Meet [player_tooltip player_id='481402' first='Marley' last='Robinson'] (2027)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/marleyrobinson/?hl=en">@marleyrobinson</a>&nbsp;, a Setter for Orange Lutheran&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/olu_volleyball/?hl=en">@olu_volleyball</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gamer<br>💡 “The part of my game I'm most proud of this year is my leadership and composure.
