Mia Prostran '18 Recruiting Profile

I got interested in volleyball when I was seven years old. I was watching World Championship finale between Italy and Brazil. While I was watching the match between Italy and Brazil, I was fascinated by the amount of adrenaline and desire of these two teams. In that two and a half hour match I realized that I want to be in that position one day. From that moment I started playing volleyball and giving my all on every training and game so that I can be as successful as the players that I look up to.

In the past 4 years that I play in volleyball club "Kralj", I learned the value of teamwork, commitment, sacrifice and leadership.  Last year, on the National Championship for juniors, I learned a big lesson. Even though we lost in the game for the first place, I learned what's the real teamwork and commitment and this season we are showing that defeats only make us stronger.  I believe that I not only have the talent to compete for a college team, but the character, work-ethic and leadership skills to help your college be even better.  Since I have been training 11 years now and I have been in starting lineup for about 7 years, I know that I have what it takes to be a leader on your team!
