Mia Stewart means business. Initially, something seemed to be holding her back offensively at the beginning of the season. Upon watching her in person and on film, it appeared to me that her last two steps weren’t getting her to the ball, causing her to hit off balance.  All the other elements were there: her approach length, her back flight, her snap, but being off balance would throw all her efforts off. Throughout the season, she has figured it out. So much so, that I asked her mother who she had been working with on her approach. Her mother said the best thing; she worked it out on her own. This is great because Mia’s success is something she can wholeheartedly own, not something she feels obligated to credit to a private trainer. It’s excellent to use a trainer to identify issues, but when you figure it out on your own, it gives you undeniable confidence. The question is no longer whether she can get it done offensively, but rather, can the defense handle her serious offensive attempts? Mia delivers power, and, even more importantly, has found her footing to the ball. She consistently scores with a quick snap from both the front and back row, positioning herself as a serious contender for June 15th. Michelle Bamford @ PrepDig

Mia is a dynamic prospect who seamlessly transitions from her passing platform to a quick approach on the outside. Once she is in the air, she showcases a diverse range of shot selections to put the ball away effectively. When she is not delivering her relentless power, she has the ability to tip the ball over the block with success which adds a layer of unpredictability to her plays.
