Hi athletes, Remember practice makes permanent so practice the skills well
Hi my name is Coach Mia. I have played volleyball since I was about 12 and I've always loved the game. So much so I have started coaching. From my line above you can see my philosophy, practice makes permanent, then comes the perfect part. I think while practice if you can really create a solid foundation of skills like passing hustling to the ball, hitting, setting , and serving you can truly start to play close to perfect

About Me:
I’ve been playing volleyball since I was 12 years old, and the sport has shaped who I am both as an athlete and a coach. I started on junior varsity before moving up to varsity throughout high school, and I also competed with Club Molten. On the court, I played both outside hitter and libero/defensive specialist, giving me a well-rounded understanding of the game from multiple positions.
As a coach, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of players. I previously coached Tempe Rec co-ed volleyball, leading the team to their championship division. I am currently coaching a 14U girls team at ClubPrep, where we’re proudly holding a strong winning streak.
My goal as a coach is to help athletes build confidence, grow their skills, and develop a lifelong love for the game—just like I did.
How I can help you improve your game:
I am very specific to needs. For example if you set a goal of passing to setter every single time, then our sessions we be around that goal until we reach it.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
We start with conditioning work and warm ups, having a strong base to build on. Then we will typically look into passing, hitting, and serving (possibly setting, if athlete is a setter). We then do drills based on need, and of course what are goal is to work on and improve. Overall I cater each session to the athlete and desired position. Usually first session will not be to heavy based on the fact we will be getting to know each other and what is needed.
Career summary and accomplishments:
When I first coached Tempe Rec co-ed volleyball, our season didn’t start out strong. We struggled early on as the team was still learning fundamentals, chemistry, and court communication. But week by week, we improved. The players grew more confident, started working together, and developed a real competitive mindset. By the end of the session, we turned everything around and finished as champions of our division. At ClubPrep, I am currently coaching a 14U girls team that has been on an impressive winning streak. We have spent time identifying each athlete’s strongest position, strengthening teamwork, and building a structured offense. The team is now running a solid 5-1 rotation, and our growth is showing in every match. I’m incredibly proud of how far they’ve come and excited for where we’re heading.
Best coach I ever had:
One of the biggest influences on the coach I am today is my former coach, Melissa. She coached me through most of junior high and high school, and her impact stayed with me long after. Coach Melissa was incredibly encouraging—she believed in our potential even on the days we didn’t believe in ourselves. She pushed us to work harder, play smarter, and never settle for anything less than our best.
What made her special was how supportive she always was. She didn’t just teach skills; she helped build confidence. Her leadership, positivity, and genuine care for her players inspired me to bring those same qualities into my own coaching. I’m grateful for everything she taught me, both on and off the court.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
As a coach, I’m flexible, approachable, and committed to helping our team reach its goals. I understand that every athlete learns differently, and I’m always willing to adjust, support, and communicate to make sure each player grows and feels confident.
During our sessions, we will work hard, stay focused, and push to improve every week—because the stronger we practice, the better and more confidently we can play when it matters. My goal is to create a positive, disciplined, and fun environment where players learn, compete, and truly enjoy the game.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
