Thank you! ~ You can join with 30% off using code: Coachable247</a>   Recruiting is not just about what an athlete can do. It is about who she is when she does it.   In this space, visibility matters. But the right kind of visibility. The kind that shows composure under pressure, consistency in preparation, awareness in big moments, and ownership of growth. When social media is used well, it becomes more than highlights. It becomes context. It helps college coaches see competitive character, emotional control, leadership, and how an athlete carries herself when the spotlight is on.   This week's athletes are not just posting clips. They are showing who they are. Their pride in specific skills, their understanding of what separates them, and their gratitude for being seen all point to something deeper. Alignment between identity and execution. Confidence without noise.

Physically, I am most proud of my defensive abilities and consistency with it. I would say my ability to read the ball and defend my team's side is what makes me stand out.”   📲 Why This Post Mattered “It meant a lot!! Visibility on social media has helped me a lot by allowing me to share my highlights with not just recruiters but athletes too. Seeing other athletes inspires me to want to be the best, and it motivates me to post and show others my skills and strengths.”   🧠 What Coaches Should Know “I AM FUNNN!!!!!! I also put 101% into everything I do and bring energy to the team. I am so passionate for the sport and get along with people easily! I have 4 dogs too lol.”   [player_tooltip player_id='512542' first='Alexis' last='Lu']   ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247   <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2026/02/image_574f92.png" alt="" class="wp-image-946718" /></figure>     [player_tooltip player_id='939769' first='Adele' last='Hunter Withrow']: Social Media Star of the Week   💡 Game You're Proud Of “I think a part of my game that I'm truly most proud of is my ability to be a true leader, especially in intense and tough situations. I am always bringing my team together, helping others who are having a rough time, and always being the loudest one on the court to bring energy when it's down.”   📲 Why This Post Mattered “Being featured on PrepDig CA means a ton to me, and I can't wait for it to be the start of my recruiting process!”   🧠 What Coaches Should Know “I really want college coaches to know that on and off the court, I will always bring an energetic mindset that is always open to new and exciting things!”   [player_tooltip player_id='939769' first='Adele' last='Hunter Withrow']   ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247   <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2026/02/image_fb9120.png" alt="" class="wp-image-946719" /></figure>     [player_tooltip player_id='563703' first='Tatiana' last='Munoz']: Social Media Star of the Week   💡 Game You're Proud Of “The part of my game I am most proud of right now is my setting. I work hard to give my hitters good and accurate sets so they can do their best. I am getting better at knowing where everyone is on the court and making quick decisions. I also try to communicate with my teammates and stay calm during games. These skills help me stand out and help my team succeed.”   📲 Why This Post Mattered “Being featured on PrepDig CA meant a lot to me and made me feel proud of how far I've come. Social media has helped me share my volleyball journey and show my skills. I made the post to stay motivated and keep working hard to get better every day.”   🧠 What Coaches Should Know “I want coaches to know that I am a hard worker, coachable, and a great teammate. I try to lead on the court as a setter and always look for ways to improve both on and off the court.”   [player_tooltip player_id='563703' first='Tatiana' last='Munoz']   ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247   <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2026/02/image_dd5b7a.png" alt="" class="wp-image-946720" /></figure>     [player_tooltip player_id='769741' first='Jimin' last='Seung']: Social Media Star of the Week   💡 Game You're Proud Of “I'm most proud that my confidence is at its maximum and fullest. My teammates provide me with such a great environment, pushing me on the mental and skill part of the game. Although I haven't been with them long, it feels like I've known them since birth. They helped me learn to play stress free with a bit of fun with my personality and seriousness at the same time.”   📲 Why This Post Mattered “It means the world to me because PrepDig is such a good platform that reminds me to stay active, shows me that there are all these players that are also great that I can learn about. It's just the definition of exposure when one tries to think of what it is. I can study with articles, reading once a day, and learn from how players evaluate the game and overall compare that to my mindset and see the changes I can make in my play and my game plan.”   🧠 What Coaches Should Know “I want college coaches to know that I'm the exact same on and off the court. I may be a little goofy off the court more sometimes, but I'd say on average I'm the same. When someone watches me, you can tell how I am off the court because I play with passion, personality, and seriousness. One could come to a conclusion after watching my play that I'm humorous with some competitiveness off the court too. I can confidently say I'm pretty fun to watch in games and super easy and fun to talk to generally off and on the court.”   [player_tooltip player_id='769741' first='Jimin' last='Seung']   ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247   <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2026/02/image_ab5f8f.png" alt="" class="wp-image-946722" /></figure>     [player_tooltip player_id='941087' first='Katalina' last='Tuipulotu']: Social Media Star of the Week   💡 Game You're Proud Of “What I'm most proud of in my game right now is my mental growth. After going through burnout, I've rebuilt my confidence, love for the game, and competitive mindset. I've learned how to stay present, resilient, and composed in high-pressure moments, which has made me a more dependable teammate and competitor.   On the court, my athleticism and versatility help me stand out. I take pride in my strong defense, reading hitters, digging tough balls, and staying relentless in rallies, while also being a reliable offensive option. I'm comfortable playing anywhere on the court and adapting to what my team needs in the moment.   Getting back on my feet, this growth showed during our run to the state championship, first time in any sport in school history. I focused on doing the little things consistently: passing accurately, defending aggressively, and contributing offensively when needed. I'm proud of how I led by example, stayed mentally tough, and helped elevate my team when it mattered most.”   📲 Why This Post Mattered “Being featured on PrepDig CA is pretty cool, especially representing California in my sport. It recognized the hard work and determination I've put into volleyball over the years. My journey hasn't been perfect. I've faced burnout and setbacks, but I'm proud of how I've stayed committed, continued to grow, and kept moving forward. The visibility has motivated me to keep pushing and trusting that my journey is still unfolding.”   🧠 What Coaches Should Know “I want college coaches to know that I'm a resilient, coachable athlete who values growth both on and off the court. I've learned how to push through adversity, stay disciplined, and show up for my team even when things aren't perfect. On the court, I bring versatility, strong defense, and a competitive mindset. Off the court, I'm committed to my faith, my academics, and being a positive, accountable teammate. I take pride in my work ethic and my willingness to keep learning every day.”   [player_tooltip player_id='941087' first='Katalina' last='Tuipulotu']   ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247   <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2026/02/image_b2fd25.png" alt="" class="wp-image-946723" /></figure>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">If You Enjoyed This Article, Help Us Keep the Momentum Going</h2>   🔥 Players Use this article to grow.
