About Mia
Expert Analysis
Michelle Bamford | Prep Dig Scout
💡 How would you describe your role on the court, and what do you do to elevate the players around you?
I radiate leadership by celebrating every point, no matter how big or small. I truly believe energy can shift a game, even against a team that may be mechanically stronger. It’s so much fun hyping each other up over the little things. I also make sure there’s clear communication about what plays we’re running and who’s where. It helps everyone feel more comfortable and builds trust.
🧠 In high-pressure moments, what’s your mindset and how do you stay composed?
I focus on my breathing and where my body is in the moment. I take time to notice how different parts of my body feel, which helps ground me. Breathing is really important to me because it keeps my mind calm in chaotic situations.
💪🏽 What’s something specific you’ve been working to add to your game this season, and why?
I’ve been working on staying open in serve receive and not getting jammed. Specifically, I’m focused on taking balls off my midline, since that’s where I tend to get in the most trouble.
🌟 Off the court, how would your coaches and teammates describe you, and what personal qualities do you bring to a team culture?
My coaches and teammates would describe me as positive and reassuring. I’m loud, energetic, and always trying to bring a good vibe whether I’m on or off the court. When our team gets fired up, we’re tough to slow down.
💥 What’s a fun fact about you that you’d want college coaches to know?
I’ve been voted team captain on almost every team I’ve been a part of. It’s something I take pride in because it shows how coaches and teammates see me.
