Brooke Milder is the heart of the PRHS Varsity Volleyball Team

During the Fall 2017 season Brooke Milder was recognized by the Head Varsity Volleyball Coach Samantha Woolf for her attitude and dedication that resembles the motto of the program: PMA, or positive mental attitude.

Milder exercises this expression by encouraging her team the best way she knows, “Positive reinforcement is the best way to get people to work hard and keep working” Milder said.

“She plays with heart and determination every time she steps on the court.. what makes her a great volleyball player is she never gives up and doesn’t lack confidence!” Woolf said.

Introduced to volleyball by her father in the seventh grade, Milder began to love the fast pace and competitive environment. She plays among several older players who respect her humble and confident attitude, where she is a co-captain alongside Kristina Canales, 12.

“She has a very good presence on the court and off the court. She is very caring and she wants to help everyone, she is very dedicated to volleyball. Even though she is one of the best athletes, she does not act like it, she is very humble,” senior varsity player Kaitlin Pressley said.

The PRHS volleyball program is based around athletes with an attitude like Milder. She is constantly worried about the program as a whole instead of her individual needs. Milder plans to continue playing volleyball as a hobby, hoping to watch her younger sister play in high school.
