Expert Analysis
Michelle Bamford | Prep Dig Scout
💡 How would you describe your role on the court, and what do you do to elevate the players around you?
My role on the court is incredibly important. I’m in charge of the back row and everything that happens defensively. I’m known as the best passer on my team and one of the most aggressive. I elevate my teammates by bringing high energy and constantly hyping them up when they make great plays. I try to keep the energy positive so it rubs off on everyone and helps us all compete at the highest level.
🧠 In high-pressure moments, what’s your mindset and how do you stay composed?
I always remind myself to keep a strong mindset. That helps me stay focused and play my game. I also try to have fun in those moments because it takes away the anxiety. I like proving myself wrong by doing something amazing to shift momentum and get my team hyped. I want my teammates to feel less stress and more joy in those big moments.
💪🏽 What’s something specific you’ve been working to add to your game this season, and why?
I’ve been working on living by the mindset “Just Go.” It’s a phrase that really matters to me as a libero. I’ve seen elite liberos embrace that mentality, and it pushes me to get uncomfortable and reach for more. It helps me compete harder, react faster, and challenge myself to keep growing.
🌟 Off the court, how would your coaches and teammates describe you, and what personal qualities do you bring to a team culture?
They would probably describe me as energetic and supportive. I love having fun and bringing positive energy to the team even off the court. If my teammates ever need help or advice, I’m always there to support them and offer what I can.
💥 What’s a fun fact about you that you’d want college coaches to know?
As a pretty short libero, I constantly push my limits and get creative with how I go after balls. I love proving that size doesn’t define effort.
