About Me

Hi, I'm Mia Andrews.

CLICK HERE FOR MY RESUME 


 I am a 22 year old student-athlete born and raised north of Philadelphia, PA.

As a 2-time High School State Champion at Archbishop Wood (PA),

 NJCAA State Champion & Final Four at Chipola College (FL),

and an NEC Regular Season Champion at FDU (NJ),

I'm still chip chasing and working towards my

Master's Degree in Business and Sports Management. 


I was recently awarded the opportunity to join the WBCA - Women Basketball Coaches Association - in the "So You Wanna Be a Coach" Grad Assistant Program.


Over the years, I learned (and am still learning ) the importance

of self-care, balance and self-love.


I hope you enjoy learning more about me and follow me on Instagram .

Meet Mia

Basketball is my favorite sport! It is my passion!

In high school, my teammates called me Mia "The Motivator" Andrews. Yeah, it fits!

But, I also played soccer until 6th grade. Made Dean's List and Honors every semester. Plus, I played violin, was President of the Music Honor Society, volunteered and did so many other activities.

While I love it all - it became very overwhelming. 
Then... the worst happened.

I suffered an ACL tear my HS Senior year - and all of a sudden my routine was totally different. I lost offers and my confidence. But I focused on getting back and was cleared within 5 1/2 months! While my body was physically healed, mentally and emotionally - I wasn't.

I had to adjust to a new normal.

It's taken me some time to share my story. I was sad, ashamed, felt alone and thought I was the only one going through this. (Check out my basketball story below).

I realized that my story can help so many more people just like me. 
  • You may be an overachiever. 
  • You may have had a devastating injury. 
  • You may be struggling with high school or college. 
  • You may have lost your confidence.
  • You may be feeling lost, overwhelmed and frustrated.
  • Or... you may just be trying to figure out this adulting thing.
I'm here to help! Let's go through this together.

Here's How You Come In...

My goal is built on the value of helping people to perform their best.  Everyone and anyone has the potential to be great and to create their own identity. I hope to provide the resources and support necessary to help them reach their full potential.

My belief originates from taking care of the inner self, both physically and mentally, to achieve peak performance in all areas of life.  

You are important.

My Basketball Journey

Basketball has been a part of my life forever. I was born when the Sixers and Allen Iverson took on the Lakers in the NBA Finals.


I've had great experiences at USA Trials, won 2 HS state championships and my JUCO team won the NJCAA State Championship; plus we made it to the NJCAA Final Four.


But every athlete knows - it's not all fun!  The 2 or 3-a-days, , sore muscles, aching feet, the "I just want to sleep but this paper is due" vibes plague us every week. And the competition to get better - EVERY. DAY.  Never ends.


Like my dad always said, "Ball is life."


Without learning lessons on the court, lessons in life would be extremely difficult in the real world.


I’m inspired by my family - as they've been my biggest advocates. It's always been important to connect to my roots  and gain insight from their experiences.


Now it's time! I'm ready to share my story, and I'm still going through it all. I'd like to help others gain confidence and encourage you to create your own wellness journey.

My Self-Care Story

We need to be our own advocates. 


I love the idea of self-care.   

I also love that self-care can happen anytime and anywhere - and it can be different things for different people. 


The stress of studying and practicing all day - trying to manage sports, classes, money, cooking, friendships - 

made me learn that I have to pay attention to MY needs. 


I started an all-natural sugar scrub collection during the COVID bubble/ lockdown. I hope you take time for your own self care and enjoy my sugar scrubs as much as I do.
