Mich

It's been awhile since I wrote about memories of a player.   I am also so busy that I may really forget stories or things, but I will try to write something. 

Over the summer I was reminded of Mich.  I was networking with an assistant AD and she gave me a great compliment and it was that I was personable and easy to talk too and that she knew because of that, that I would find a job and do well.

This reminds me so much of Mich, and what I think of her.  She has a great personality and will succeed because of it. 

Now at first I didn't know she had one.

I thought she had no personality because of all the players in the spring of 2010, she was the only one never to say hello, or wave to me when she walked by.

Maybe I got an awkward stare.

To be fair she had just joined the team and was probably intimidated.

It didn't take long for her to get comfortable.

I think she will succeed in business, and a lot of that goes with her great inter-personal skills.  She is also confident.   

I also often side with her on twitter when she gets into arguments with Cory.  Mich gets it, and Mich is usually on the right side of the argument. 

When someone I know pretty well was thrown in goal, Mich would be sure to give them directions on what to do and not to do.  Sometimes it was intimidating, but always helpful.   She would also point out good things as well.

My favorite story about Mich involved the rivalry that her and Riley had when they played against each other at Oakwood.  I can't remember if they got physical with each other or not, but they might have.  Regardless I know their teams were physical with one another.  I will have to check the interview I did one day to see exactly what happened, but I know Riley and Mich were rivals in their club years.   

One thing that really impressed me about Mich is how far she came in just one year.  She went from becoming a walk-on to traveling for our trip to Syracuse.  Then she made the roster for the NCAA tournament.  She deserved it.  She worked hard, and was always fit. 

Now Mich has played some and I know is someone who can be relied on to play solid defense.

Those are some random thoughts and stories on Mich.  It's a good thing she walked-on.  UCWS was definitely very lucky.
