Expert Analysis
Michelle Bamford | Prep Dig Scout
💪🏽 What’s something specific you’ve been working to add to your game this season, and why?
This season, I’ve been focused on strengthening my mental game. I’ve worked hard to bounce back quickly from mistakes and bring intentional energy to the court. These aren’t physical skills, but they’re essential to being the leader my team needs. I know my teammates look up to me, so I can’t get in my head or drop the energy. When I started owning this mindset, our team chemistry and performance took off. I want to keep building on that.
💡 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 to be a consistent player my teammates can rely on. I encourage others and do my best to make sure every single one of my touches positively impacts the team. Whether I’m swinging for a point or keeping a ball alive, I want to be the type of player that brings momentum and trust to the court.
🧠 In high-pressure moments, what’s your mindset and how do you stay composed?
In high-pressure moments, I remind myself that this is the sport I love. Even when the situation is intense, I ground myself by remembering how much joy the game brings me. I stay present by narrating the game in my head, which keeps me engaged no matter what’s happening. It helps quiet the overthinking and keeps me locked in, even when I’m not the one touching the ball.
🌟 Off the court, how would your coaches and teammates describe you, and what personal qualities do you bring to a team culture?
They’d say I’m someone they can always rely on. I bring a competitive drive, relentless work ethic, and the fire to win no matter what. Whether it’s a drill, a scrimmage, or a match, I’m always pushing to be the best and bring out the best in others. I’m the kind of teammate who is all in for the group and willing to do whatever it takes to win.
💥 What’s a fun fact about you that you’d want college coaches to know?
I’m a multi-sport athlete. I played club soccer for eight years, ski regularly with my family, and was on the varsity track team as a freshman. I helped win the Mission League Title. No matter the situation, I show up, step up, and give it everything I’ve got.
