Update: At the beginning of the year my approach jump was 9'2".
As of 5/19/2016 it is now 9' 6.5"! Hard work definitely pays off. They can say I'm undersized for an outside hitter, but no one can ever say I'm undetermined, unmotivated, or unable.

My name is Kira Warren, I am currently a junior at Rampart High School in Colorado Springs. I found my passion for the sport in the sixth grade as my mom encouraged me to try out for my middle school team. My love for the game has grown each year I play. Volleyball has taught me responsibility in the areas of academics, being a leader, and pushing through in a situation where others are relying on me.

Growing up as a military kid, volleyball has been a form of stability for me, I can take it with me where ever I go, and I will always have it as my friends come and go. Making my first big move to Colorado Springs was hard for me because I grew up with the same girls for a majority of my life so volleyball made it easier to settle in and make new friends in a new place.

I've often been told that I'm a fast learner and uniquely "coachable".  I'm willing to play any position when needed. I work well with my teammates and am always ready to encourage and motivate even when we aren't winning. I maintain a positive attitude on and off the court.  I respect my coaches and my teammates and am always a team player, never an individual.  I come alive on the court under pressure.  Tough teams don't scare me, I just play harder.  I'm not afraid of tough coaches, I respect and accept the challenge. 

I am open to learning new things to improve my skills and be better than my last game.  I will give you 110% in practice and on the court.  I practice hard and I train hard.  I spend time in the gym to improve my athleticism and I'm ok with not fitting into skinny jeans because my legs are "too big". I'm an athlete and I'm proud of my strength.

I can't wait to play at the collegiate level.  I know there is a perfect school for me and a team that needs what I have to offer.  I'm that athlete that will work hard, respect you, respect my teammates and give you the best that I have every time I step on the court.
