She will quickly deflect any praise and shy away from personal recognition. The team is always the focus.
It will not come as a surprise, then, that the 30-year-old will have little thought of milestones tonight.
She will step on court for the 100th time in Southern Steel colours in its elimination final against the Northern Stars in Invercargill.
It makes her the third player to reach that mark - Wendy Frew and Shannon Saunders are the others.
It follows her 150th match of top-level netball earlier this year, which includes games for the Southern Sting and Central Pulse.
She admitted it was a big match to win.
But that was because she wanted to be in Wellington on Monday, playing the Central Pulse in the ANZ Premiership final.
"When they told me, I was just thinking 'oh no','' she said of the 100 games.
"After the 150th I just wanted to get that over that so we could get on with the actual games.
"Then they talked about the 100.
"It's just another game. It's obviously a big game because it's a semifinal.
"My focus is just winning this game. It's awesome I've played 100 for the Steel and I have loved playing here.
"So I just want to win it for that sake, for all our fans and get through to the final more for them than my 100 games.''
Selby-Rickit remains the last player present from day one of the Steel in 2008, having joined the team when the Sting and Otago Rebels combined.
At the time she was playing as both a defender and a shooter - where she still turns out occasionally for her club team at home.
She dropped shooting not long after.
It was something she did not enjoy, while defending is what she loves.
She stayed at the Steel for four years, but in 2012 moved north to the Central Pulse. Players had been leaving the Steel at the time, as had coach Robyn Broughton, who also went to the Pulse.
Being from Otaki, it also allowed her to move closer to home and be near her family.
While she loved that, she missed the comfort of Invercargill and jumped at the chance to return for 2016.
It was another period of much player movement and then coach Janine Southby had made contact. Southby left for the Silver Ferns not long after, but Noeline Taurua proved a brilliant replacement.
That set the team on an impressive streak, which it has carried on. It is one Selby-Rickit has been key in, her intelligence and experience important on the defensive end.
Tonight she hopes to extend that streak.
The side is coming off seven consecutive wins and a comfortable one over the Stars in Invercargill a week ago. However, she felt that would have no bearing on tonight.
Having tried several things last week, the Steel was looking to keep doing the things it felt worked the best.
