Kianna Fierro '15 Recruiting Profile

      "Be Great!", is a quote I have been taught to go by throughout my high school career as a student athlete. Trying to be the best I can be has truly directed me to strive for nothing but greatness and success. I plan to continue this path of greatness by setting higher goals for myself at the collegiate level. I will work hard and develop new skills to have a better extent for not only myself, but my coaches and teammates as well.

             Some of my strong suits as a player are my athletic abilities, leadership skills, drive, and determination to be a better athlete than I was the day before. I contribute to my team in any way they need me to. For example, this year we have a lot of underclassmen on the team who weren't used to the tempo of a varsity game. After losing six seniors, three being huge attributes to the team, everyone including myself had to try and do things out of our normal comfort zones. I became a power forward, post, and point guard to assist my team. This has been very challenging because originally I was just a post. I lead my team by actions and in doing so I have built up their confidence and will to become better athletes everyday. Being great doesn't just mean to be the best athlete you can be, but to be the best you can be for your teammates. 

           I believe the characteristic a student athlete should obtain is to be well rounded. Well rounded to me stands for many things, such as being a leader. Being a leader comes with great responsibilities on and off the court. You  have to gain respect from your teammates regardless of the grade level they are in. I not only contribute to my team but to my community and student body as well. I have been in many clubs and organizations from my freshmen year until now including: one act play, student council, band, U.I.L, and the yearbook committee. I have also participated in community service by helping Our Lady of Fatima Catholic church in their festivals and holiday events. With all this I still maintain good grades in school and in my dual credit courses.

I consider myself to be a great student athlete, a person of good character, and a great teammate.  I believe my dedication, hard work ethic, and drive will make me a great basketball player at the collegiate level.
