About Michaela

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Versatile, quick, and able to adapt to different situations on the court. A powerful hitter who can deliver a strong spike or dig, often with a lot of force.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I have a deep love for the game which fuels my motivation and commitment to practice, train and compete harder than the last time. I embrace challenges, learn from mistakes and move on to the next challenge. I am committed to continuously learning and developing skills, both physically and mentally.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I am a 5’7” OH with a strong background for defense. Though I am not favored for the OH position just based on my height, I am persistent at fighting to stay relevant in the skill while also staying fresh in skill with defense.
